Panama to pick same team

Panama will field the same line-up that lost to Belgium when it faces an England side that coach Hernan Dario Gomez expects to be an even tougher proposition on Sunday.

 

Gomez confirmed he was sticking with the team beaten 3-0 in Sochi on Monday in its opening match in Group G as Panama lost on its World Cup debut.

“We have a certain stability and I liked how hard my team worked (against Belgium). One of our assets is the experience that our starting eleven have got by playing together regularly,” he told the pre-match news conference on Saturday.
