There are other countries I would rather not see at the World Cup that are less deserving than Panama. Having seen the video of the commentators joy when they qualified I don't begrudge them being there at all.

Besides which if you are a Manchester United supporter than you will have a fresh Alexis Sanchez as this is the first summer he has had off for a number of years

Interesting commentary from Ally McCoist.
hope we dont get them in the last 16 they could be dangerous
On their day they are dangerous to anyone
England's 5 first half goals against Panama is only the 5th time in World Cup history that a team has scored that many the first half of a match. The 6-1 final scoreline was also England's biggest ever World Cup win, the previous best being 3-0 which was achieved in 2002 against Denmark and twice in 1986 against Poland and Paraguay.
wonder what odds you'd get on Suarez biting a Russian player?

can't see Southgate going to make wholesale changes for Belgium unless he gives another keeper a keeper arun out and possibly change Sterling for Rashford. Just hoping Alli will be fit for knock out stages.
Lingard deserved the third goal as he'd been targeted by Panama's back three constantly and I was surprised the referee never gave out two red cards for Panama's man hsndling of Kane and the fouls on Lingard Panama were disgrace to South American football. How they qualified is beyond me. Was way more impressed with Colombia's demolition job on Poland the first European side to be eliminated in this competition my gut instinct tells they will be our first KO opponents.
yeah pissed off goldoy was not booked i would have won £200 quid
Panama play in Concacaf region thats how they qualified.
