How big a loss are Fajardo and Quintero for Panama? Are they starters usually? 

[Neil R.]

It looks like Quintero started 3 of the 4 group stage matches. Fajardo only had one appearance as a sub in the final group stage match, but he made the most of it and scored in Costa Rica. It's worked out nicely for us that neither will be available.

Getting a CR ref is nice because Panama beat out CR for the final four so perhaps he won't be thrilled with this Panama team.

[footballfreak]

Fwiw, here’s the lineup the last time we beat Panama.

 

Based on current form, maybe something like: Kone in for Wotherspoon, Larin in for Buchanan, Davies to LM, Laryea to RM. Buchanan as a super sub.

[TGAA_Star]

Today is matchday....Canada taking on Panama...really excited for this match because I'm really really hoping Canada beats Panama and we end up in the Final on Sunday

[narduch]

Thank God this game is at 7pm 

[JamboAl]

Pregame is at 11 am here in Vegas, game time is 4 pm followed by US-Mexico which should be almost as fun.  It’s gonna be a very long (but hopefully enjoyable) day out for all of us here.

[Alex]

What will Panama’s starting 11 look like?

[InglewoodJack]

Some prop bets I'm curious about:

Over/Under:

Canada goals : 3

Davies goals: 1

Buchanan Assists: 1

Bombito Minutes: 5

Atiba Minutes: 30

Osorio start: Y/N

Canada subs: 4

Laryea yellow: 1

But it absolutely isn't. Tell us you're from Toronto without saying you're from Toronto.

I coach my son's U15 team tonight for the first half hour so I will be watching on PVR.  Debated about canceling practice but the need the reps...  

[QBCS]

Not sure if this is the right forum but for any voyageurs in Durham, One Eyed Jacks in Oshawa has a few tables reserved for 7:00 PM and will be showing the game.

How about Brampton? I can live with Sauga possibly....Right Wing Pub might be a little hard to get to as I have a long day here.

Excited about this one. Should be a decent starting 11.

Speaking of Toronto, what bars the game be showin' at?

[PastPros]

The last time we played them, they were pretty effective with a high press. I'd be surprised if they didn't try it again.

If so, it will make for some nervy back passes.

It's not the highest risk bet but my money is on "both teams to score". Wish there was a bet for "Borjan Blunder".

We also screwed them over the last friendly in Vancouver, which they travelled for, did not play, I suppose got paid for but still. We screwed them. If they wanted to have some emotional incentive to take us down, fact is: they could be more motivated to defeat us than we them. 

Then there's the x-factor of Christiansen being a good candidate for Canada if Herdman bails  early.

They will be well prepped for this one.  They'll be a tough out.

Regardless, we should still win this.  If we don't, then close scrutiny needs to be done.
