Edwin had been the victim of a kidnapping and in May, following a confession by Honduran gang leaders, it was confirmed that his remains had been recovered. Club: Tottenham Hotspur Age: 25 It was Honduras's first World Cup and only appearance until this June when it will once again face Spain, as well as Switzerland and Chile, in Group H of the South Africa 2010 World Cup. Jerry Bengtson will be keen to put recent frustrations to one side by shining for Honduras at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.Bengtson was signed by MLS franchise New England Revolution as a designated player almost two years ago, having finished as the Honduran league's top scorer for three successive seasons with Vida and Motagua.The 27-year-old forward has failed to display his best form in the United States, going more than 12 months without a league goal prior to a drought-breaking strike against Houston Dynamo on April 12 this year.However, Bengtson nevertheless played an integral role in guiding Honduras to a second successive World Cup finals appearance, scoring nine goals in 12 appearances as Luis Fernando Suarez's side topped their preliminary pool before finishing third in the final CONCACAF qualifying group.Two of those goals came after Bengtson had been involved in a period of controversy that saw him briefly exiled from the international scene.After being left on the bench for a game against Jamaica, he reportedly walked out on the Honduras squad in frustration and played no part in the subsequent fixture against the USA.It was not long before Bengtson was welcomed back to help his country achieve their goal of reaching the World Cup.Speaking last October, after Honduras had sealed qualification for Brazil 2014, Revolution coach Jay Heaps acknowledged the difference between Bengtson's displays at club and international level. Wilson Palacios: Profile of Wilson Palacios, Honduras star player at World Cup 2010.When Palacios, once a stalwart for Wigan, scored his first goal in English football with a strike against Hull this August, he pointed to the heavens in honour of his brother, Edwin, whose body had been found earlier in the year after being murdered. The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of FIFA.The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, with the exception of 1942 and 1946 when it was not held due to the Second World War.

Strength in character: Wilson Palacios helped his country qualify despite news that his brother had been murdered Previous Encounters: The Switzerland vs Honduras balance of play is yet to move out of the neutrality zone. Honduras: World Cup facts. When he is scoring goals, he becomes a much different player," said Heaps.There are a number of players in the Honduras squad who could claim to have a higher profile than Bengtson, such as veteran goalkeeper Noel Valladares, Celtic full-back Emilio Izaguirre and Premier League duo Wilson Palacios and Maynor Figueroa.However, Bengtson could well hold the key to the Central American nation's hopes of reaching the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time.Honduras failed to score a group-stage goal four years ago and will understandably be keen to carry a greater threat when they take on France, Ecuador and Switzerland this time around.While many of Bengtson's goals for Honduras have come against modest opposition, the tall striker has shown he has what it takes to trouble major nations.After scoring the winner in a 2-1 victory over the USA at the start of the final qualifying phase, he was also on target as Mexico were subjected to a shock home defeat at Estadio Azteca in September.In addition, Bengtson grabbed the only goal as Honduras went on to beat rivals and fellow qualifiers Costa Rica 1-0 in their penultimate group game.If Suarez's men are to spring a surprise in Brazil, they will surely need more of the same from a player boasting almost a goal every other game for his country following another strike in a friendly against Venezuela in the build-up to the World Cup.https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/omnisport/48/b7/jerry-bengtson_13i86xaculi5j16j6q91x8bgnp.jpg?t=1045562830&w=500&quality=80
