Five-time world champions Brazil will be taking on Honduras in a friendly match in November. Honduras are regarded as one of the minnows in world football. Even though they have done well in recent World Cup qualifying matches, they are expected to be no match for the resilience.

Brazil's manager Luiz Felipe Scolari decided to hand debuts to a number of lesser-known players in the hope that they would be enough to win this match. However, the former Chelsea manager has confirmed that Brazil are not taking their opposition lightly.

Hull City has to face Newcastle United in an away game on Saturday and two of their main players are not available for selection i.e. Maynor Figueroa and Robert Koren.

Koren who is the skipper of the team as well has suffered a leg fracture and has been ruled out for a couple of months, while, Figueroa has gone back to his country Honduras for a few days because of some family problem.

Despite the absence of these two players, the manager of Hull City, Steve Bruce, is pretty confident about the chances of his team against Newcastle.

The Spanish top flight, La Liga, is one of the most illustrious leagues in the world and the subject of a great deal of speculative sports betting. As is so often the case, Barca are odds on across the board for the title, whereas Real Madrid are a generous 5/4 with most bookmakers. If Real can complete the signing of Gareth bale this could be an excellent bet. The key to winning La Liga is avoiding draws and breaking stubborn lower league teams down. The pace of Bale and Ronaldo would be unplayable at times and could give Real the edge over Barca.

New England Revolution striker Jerry Bengtson has not featured for the Honduras national team in recent times after falling out with manager Fernando Suarez after his recent comments. Bengtson criticised the manager for not including him in the starting line-up in a recent match against Jamaica.

The player was on the bench for the entire 90 min, which frustrated him. Due to these comments, Bengtson has not played for the national team for more than a month. The manager, though, has said that he does not rule out the prospect of Bengtson returning to the national team.

Honduras have been one of the surprise package is in the World Cup qualifying from the Concaf this time around. They are in with a shout of reaching the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which is incredible considering the modest strength of a team.

One of the biggest assets from manager Luiz Fernando Suarez is Boniek Garcia, who has been one of the best players for Honduras in their World Cup qualifying group this season. He has been improving in every match ever since moving to play in the MLS with Houston Dynamo.

Brazil’s national team manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has said that he is extremely confident that his team can win the FIFA World Cup 2014, which will be held in Brazil. The former Chelsea manager was appointed as the Brazilian manager for the second time.

He led the nation to World Cup success in his previous spell as the manager. Hence, there have been a lot of expectations this time around, but he is yet to taste success in three matches. Brazil have played against England, Italy, and Russia in three matches since Scolari took over, but he has been unable to win even a single match.

The Honduras national team manager Luis Fernando Suarez has said that he is extremely delighted with the performance of his players after managing a shock 2-1 win over the United States. Honduras came into the match as one of the underdogs, but they were able to return away with the World Cup qualifying match finishing as a 2-1 squad for the home team.

The Premier league club Wigan Athletic have had moved in to secure the signing of the Honduras midfielder Roger Espinoza. The 26-year-old has been signed from the MLS club Sporting Kansas City.

Due to the fact that he now has a work permit to play in England, he is expected to be handed his first taste of English football in the FA Cup third-round match against Bournemouth. Wigan have had a lot of success with signing Honduras players with several from the past like Wilson Palacios and Maynor Figueroa having important roles at the club.

The Honduras national team manager Luis Fernando Suarez has praised the abilities of the goalkeeper Donis Escobar by saying that he has all the capabilities to become one of the top players in his position.

Jerry Bengtson was the star of the show, as Honduras comfortably beat Canada and secure a place in the next round of the qualifying for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. Honduras managed to beat Canada 8-1 in the match, with Jerry Bengtson scoring a hat-trick.

This was one of the best performances by the Honduras national team in recent matches. It is certainly not surprising because they came into the match against Canada unbeaten in the last four encounters. This will give them great amount of confidence when facing the likes of El Salvador and Panama in the next few matches.
