Theyre clear favourites to win Tuesday nights World Cup qualifier, but former Brisbane Roar captain Matt Smith has warned the Socceroos might struggle to contain Thailands `Messi.Diminutive playmaker Chanathip Songkrasin, fittingly known as `Messi J, will be Thailands tricky trump card at the Rajamangala National Stadium.Former Socceroos defender Smith, who won three A-League titles the Roar, has himself been on the receiving end of Chanathips cunning game.Smith plays for Thai Premier League outfit Bangkok Glass while Chanathip steered champions Muangthong United to last seasons title.In terms of their attacking strengths, he would be the one the Socceroos would have the most trouble with, Smith said.Hes probably the cleverest, hes very good on the ball technically - he could definitely play at a higher level.He tries to get the ball into the smaller pockets and hes very comfortable linking with players around him.With a name like Messi J he literally floats around.Hell get himself into transition and look to counter-attack pretty quickly.Hes good around the box and he can see a lot in terms of forward runners - and he can finish.Smith expected Thai fans to come out in force on Tuesday, in what will be the first opportunity for the community to show public national support following a 30-day mourning period after the death of their king.Despite Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou predictingThailand would set up defensively, Smith felt their real strength lay in attack.I see it week in, week out, he said.They can defend also, but in terms of picking one over the other they attack very well.Smith was on the sidelines watching Socceroos training over the weekend, taking up a rare opportunity to reunite with former Roar coach Postecoglou.The 34-year-old has been attempting to implement Brisbanes football philosophy at Bangkok Glass, where he is their first foreign captain.The team also has another Australian influence in new coach Aurelio Vidmar, appointed in August after his contract with the Australian national teams wasnt renewed.I think our club is ready for a coach of Aurelios stature, Smith said.Hes settled in well, now weve got a good opportunity in the pre-season to work on stuff hes been trying to implement.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- David Price was good, even better because of a rookies nifty glove work.Bostons ace won his third straight decision Monday night, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 6-2 with a huge assist from Andrew Benintendis home run-robbing catch that helped Price limit his old team to just two hits over eight scoreless innings.Price (12-8) walked two, struck out eight and didnt allow a runner past first base in helping the Red Sox win for the ninth time in 11 games and nudge into in a tie for first place in the AL East with Toronto.Benintendi drove in a run with a fourth-inning sacrifice fly, then kept Prices bid for a shutout alive by denying Steven Souza Jr. what would have been a two-run homer with an eighth-inning catch that nearly sent him tumbling over a short wall in the left-field corner.Thats a highlight-reel play at a pivotal time in the game, Boston manager John Farrell said. David was outstanding. But in a three-run game, that late, take away a two-run homer, its a huge difference in the ball game.The defensive gem enabled Price to extend Tampa Bays scoring drought against Boston to 25 innings dating to a series at Fenway Park before the All-Star break. Evan Longoria stopped the streak with a two-run homer off Matt Barnes in the ninth.I think thats the best catch Ive made. Ive never really had the opportunity to do that, Benintendi said. I knew that it was going to go out. I was just trying to time it and I was fortunate enough to finish with it.Chris Young returned from a two-month stay on the disabled list to drive in a run with a double off Blake Snell (4-6), Hanley Ramirez had a sacrifice fly in the seventh and Xander Bogaerts added a two-run homer off Danny Farquhar in the ninth.Price, who also pitched eight scoreless innings against his former team during a 4-0 victory in Boston on July 10, won for the first time as a visitor in four decisions at Tropicana Field.I had a lot of good things happen, said Price, the 2012 AL Cy Young Award winner who helped the Rays make the playoffs four times before being traded in 2014. With Benny, and the catch he made to rob a home run, I spent seven years here and I didnt see that catch too many times. It doesnt happen a whole lot. That was huge.Benintendi started the game in center field. He moved to left after Young was removed for pinch-runner Jackie Bradley Jr. in the eighth. The maneuvering looked like a stroke of genius when Bennintendi chased down Souzas fly ball in the corner and made a running catch before nearly flipping over the wall.dddddddddddd.That was an unbelievable play, Souza said. He ran a long way, was at full speed. And then to go over and hold on to the ball, it was pretty impressive.Snell, who got his first big league win against the Red Sox on June 27, threw 94 pitches and allowed four hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings, yet Boston was only able to build a 2-0 lead against the 23-year-old rookie.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (left hamstring) will throw a three-inning simulated game Tuesday. Its not so much to answer the physical side of it, but its for him to test it at the higher intensity and for him to gain some comfort mentally, Farrell said. ...

Last Thursday, he allowed one run and six hits over six innings but was not involved in the decision of a 4-3 loss at Detroit. Buchholz has a 2.63 career ERA against Tampa Bay, second-lowest among active pitchers with a minimum of 10 starts vs. the Rays.Rays: AL strikeout leader Chris Archer (7-16, 4.18) makes his fourth start of the season against the Red Sox.
