Panama FIFA World Cup 2018 - Russia Squad

Panama qualified for their first world cup but lack any big name player.

They more than cover for this by some resolute defence and committed tackles.

 

Panama like to play tough and always roughens up their opposition as seen in their friendly against Norway. They are known to go into full-fledged tackles early on in the game. This can also become their undoing especially against England, whose certain players are often accused to go down easily.
