Hi everyone, A general reminder: we're all here for the football. With that in mind, we here are taking a zero-tolerance policy towards expressions of racism, sexism, discrimination based on sexual orientation, xenophobia, ad hominem attacks, insults (towards a group of people, countries, or fellow posters) and trolling. Infractions will get you warned. If you see a fellow poster insulting you or a part of your identity (race, sex, nationality, etc.)? Don't respond in kind - REPORT IT. It is the fastest way for us mods to handle the offending posts. With that said, let's see if England can wrap up qualification to the Round of 16 to firmly put 2014 behind them, and on the other side, if Panama can grab their first-ever goal at the WC finals. Have at it!
Panama probably have the best national anthem of any team at the World Cup: Anyhoo, I expect some goals from England but given the fact that being a runner up in this group might actually be an advantage to winning it, will they want to surpass Belgiums +6 GD?
I am going to say 2-0 England. Panama is just too old to keep up with this youthful English squad. However, they will be very physical and make them work for it.
