Over/ under on how many fans actually show up for the Panama-Tunisia match next match day? I am going to say official attendance will be 35 K or so but the actual butts in the seats will probably be like 7 thousand people.
Is anybody else thinking how Panama is getting embarrassed but if the United States qualified instead
Considering in the home and away in the hex the scoreline was: 5-1 for the US Not sure how you come to that argument. The key elements in hexagonal qualifying are #1: #1 Win at home (we lost for the first time ever to Mexico and Costa Rica at home, and inexplicably to T&T on the Final Matchday while Panama "won" via the video below and a 2nd (actually legit) goal scored just before the 90th minute. Combine that w/Honduras beating Mexico the same hour on match day 10 by bouncing a shot off the back of Mexico's goalies head and back into the net and presto the US is out) #2 Somehow find away to draw or win on the road despite referee incompetency that beggars belief and ALWAYS favors the home side in games played in Central America. If you want to know what pushed Panama into the World Cup, take a look:
It would've been better for the quality if USA were there, but that's no-one's fault but the USA - you should really qualify when you have to beat out teams like this.
Well USA is a lot worse than these Belgian and English teams, so probably better to be at home rebuilding for future WCs.
Cause of u guys i can’t look at Sampaoli without envisioning him wearing a bandana and holding a tennis racket
Problem is there's a big difference playing Panama and playing IN Panama... same goes for Saudi Arabia
Woke up late to a 5-0 scoreline, kind of unexpected since it was England. But they are more and more looking like they could make a deep run in the tournament. Time for some subs now, Rashford and Vardy may be.
I don't doubt there is and England are better than USA, but looking at the quality of the Panama team and knowing USA, USA should still have been able to finish above Panama with no difficulty (which they usually do anyway).
