This is informational analysis, not a guarantee.
Why Panama can compete
They’re not just anyone: Panama come battle-hardened from Concacaf qualifying, with a well-drilled, physical and disciplined low block. With Carrasquilla running midfield and Ismael Díaz’s spark in transition, they can unsettle England if the favorites get complacent or fail to find the spaces. Set pieces and a big day from Mejía in goal are their best weapons to get into the game and hold the result.
Possible lineups
We project Panama in a very compact 3-4-3, defending deep and breaking on the counter, and England in a 4-2-3-1 with Bellingham freed up and Kane as the focal point. We’ll confirm the XIs on matchday as soon as the federations release them.
