Panama end their World Cup against England — the most overmatched individual matchup left in Group L MD3. Blackburn will compete and run all 90 minutes, and Panama will honor the occasion with their trademark work ethic.
A set piece goal against England would create a memorable WC moment — Panama have the aerial delivery to create 3-4 good corners in 90 minutes.
England arrive having already qualified. Southgate will keep Bellingham and Saka in the starting lineup to maintain tournament momentum — they need rhythm heading into the R16. Kane may rotate for the first 45.
Even England's B team wins this comfortably. The squad depth — Rashford, Foden, Grealish — means rotation doesn't represent a significant drop in quality.
England lead all-time 3–0. No prior World Cup meeting.
