Dely Valdez will most likely rotate players again. Panama is already in the quarterfinals, so will probably put out a b-squad in this game. Hoping Browne (Montreal) starts this game. He'd be a good pairing with either Fajardo or Arroyo . Let's see what Dely comes up with (hopefully, praying, that he does NOT start Pimentel or even worse, Sanchez)
well Dely indeed rested players, subbing in 7 players (Calderon GK, Machado C, Palacios RB, Galvan LB, Marcos Sanchez LDM, Rodriguez LM, Browne RM)
Marcos Sanchez needs to be sent to the hotel, to get his bags, and then taken to the nearest airport and flown back home to Panama. The man has no business being on the NT, none. He's definitely not a d-mid, he puts no pressure at all on the rival, lets ball and player go right by him, and only knows how to back-pass. No idea why Dely always calls him up, no idea at all **rant over**
classic game of B squads. Decent game, with both teams having good chances at goal, but not having that last pass or play. Shining point was the Browne and Fajardo chemistry, too bad Fajardo lacked a bit of creativity, but this combo deserves to be seen again. I didn't understand Arroyo subbing in for Fajardo, if anything should have been Arroyo for Gaby Torres, since Gaby looked lost after the 15th minute. Galvan and Palacios - debut at LB and RB, Palacios looked decent, broke up some plays, stole a couple of passes but also got caught ball-staring a couple times. Galvan was just lost, but his conditioning looks good; this affected Rodriguez though, as he wasn't able to join the attack that much, having to stay back to help Galvan on defense. both Palacios and Galvan deserve more chances Browne - Very good! That's it. Definitely made a case for possibly starting soon, over Quintero (the other mid spot is Barcenas 100%). Fajardo - needs to keep starting, his movement is good, his finishing will get bettter. Fidel - very good. I love seeing him at the DM position. 2-way player, with a booming and pretty accurate free-kick. Marcos Sanchez - needs to be sent back home to Panama.
