Panama under-20 is playing a friendly with Canada Under-20 this Tuesday (4th of January at 8 pm Panama time here in Panama)

Good preparation game for both teams

Dont really know how Canada is doing or how there playing but it should be a good competative game to measure strengths and weaknesses of each NT's respective players..

[Canadian_Supporter]

We don't even know what Canadian players are making the trip to Panama. :rolleyes:

Hopefully the CSA website will have something up early next week.

Would you call Roy Myers (just for an example off the top of my head)?

1st game, PAN vs CR, they tied 2 months ago on the first round in CR....Panama qualified for the last U20 WC...CR did not. Seems to be a really tough game.

[halfnelson31]

Tv?

[Eric B]

Tv?No word yet. Last year's group in Charleston was on PPV. A likelyhood this time too, unless this tournament was part of CONCACAF's recent deal with Univision.

I never post in that forum.

Great pics, where'd you get them Sid?

here is my ruff trans of a brief match report at:
http://www.elpanamaamerica.com.pa/diarios/


Panama's U-20 national team won this Tuesday against Canada by 2-1 in a friendly match in preparation for the qualifiers in the coming group competition in Carson, USA, starting January 12.

In this mini-tournament, called the Pacific Cup, the Ecuador U-20's, also participating, will be playing in the South American qualifiers starting January 14 in Colombia.

Panama, who meet Ecuador on Saturday, opened the scoring at 24' with a goal by Armando Gum.

The match took place in Rommel Fernandez Stadium 15 km to the southwest of the capital before 5,000 people.

Canada, with quick play, equalized the match at 42' of the first half when Will Johnson took advantage of a defensive mistake by Panama.

Gum lost an opportunity to equalize at 45' of the second half when he failed to convert on a penalty kick, but the same player at 48' of injury time settled it with the match-winning goal.

Canada plays Ecuador on Thursday.
