Panama Stats & Team News
Despite being already eliminated, Panama have been competitive in their two Group L encounters against Ghana and Croatia.
However, goals have been hard to achieve, but their counterattacking play did threaten an upset against Croatia on Tuesday. The pace of Jose Luis Rodriguez was lethal in midweek, and he will once again be expected to direct the attacks for the nation against England on Saturday.
Likely Lineup:
(3-4-3) Mosquera (GK); Ramos, Cordoba, Andrade; Murillo, Harvey, Barcenas, Blackman; Martinez, Fajardo, Rodriguez
