Panama Take On USA in Copa Oro Quarters

Familiar Foes

La Marea Roja once again meet the USA in the Gold Cup knockout stages, having been defeated by their Northern neighbors in the 2005 final, and once again in the 2007 quarters. It certainly won’t be an easy task for the Americans, as Panama has played well over the course of the tournament, losing narrowly to Guadeloupe despite dominating the final stages, battling Mexico (literally) to a draw, and crushing Nicaragua. This performance makes our World Cup failure even more tough to take, as surely Panama could have done some damage in the final round. But alas.

While this US team is young, they are dangerous, with the likes of Holden, Rogers and even Davy Arnaud turning in some good performances. I am going to go ahead and predict the upset however. Blas Perez will get the first, and with the US pushing to find an equalizer, Tejada will get the second, for a 2-0 upset.

Anyone else have predictions?

Highlights

Panama 4 Nicaragua 0

Guadeloupe 2 Panama 1

Campiones
So while the Panamanian national side won’t be travelling to South Africa in a year and a half, they can console themselves with a UNCAF Nations Cup title and an appearance in this summers Gold Cup, a tournament where they performed very well in the 2007 edition.
Despite having to come up against three sides who are already into the ... [read more]

Bienvenidos

August 24th, 2008 | By: Matt | Comments Comments(0)

So first off, my apologies. I completely and utterly forgot I had this blog until today….and Panama is already eliminated from qualifying for WC2010!! Gutted really that I didn’t even have a chance to preview the campaign at all, or write any match reports (although they weren’t pretty, believe me).
The long and short of it is in the many layered ... [read more]

The Other Falcao Delights Again

Radamel might've made the big money move to the Principality, but he's still only the second best Falcao with a ball at his feet this side of Jupiter - it's anyone's guess from there. The Other Falcao, the futsal edition, is still going strong and probably the only somewhat known ...

Claudia Letizia Welcomes Rafa To Napoli

And she is very, very hospitable. Or welcoming. A quick Google will reveal...well it will reveal a lot. Such as Claudia is a very big fan of duck face, wet t-shirts, and more duck face. She's not a fan of clothing. This means she's like nearly every other Italian showgirl ...

The Problems Plaguing Brazil

If you've been paying attention to the pandemonium in Brazil, you might notice this football-mad country is pretty damn mad about some football, namely the World Cup (the Rio Olympics aren't helping either). Basically, just like everyone else who throws a big party, they're not happy with the costs and ...

Fun With Romanian Riot Police

Football is - sport in general, really - a great place for some creative hyperbole. "He shot it to the moon!" Well no, not really. "The defender has him in his back pocket." Diego Buonanotte or Maximiliano Moralez perhaps, but no one else. Today, we have a new one: "Boy, ...

Lecce Fans Really Wanted Promotion, Let Everyone Know

Given Lecce has spent recent times bouncing between Serie A and Serie B, the dungeons of Italian football, where they were placed for doing all sorts of scandalous Italian things, aren't quite acceptable. The fans let their displeasure be known after failing in the playoffs for promotion back to Serie ...

Sebastien Squillaci Becomes Clark Kent

Call it a week, call it a month, call it a summer. The battle is over. "Can I just stay here with you?" "Definitely not." One needn't have paid the slightest attention to Sebastien Squillaci's time at Arsenal to find the genius in this video. Every club should have one. [101gg] ...

This Year In Schadenfreude

The Guardian has gone and shaken some salt into several open wounds by unveiling the twenty worst sitter misses of 2012-13. There are some solid names on the list, including Barcelona's fresh new 50m+ signing, and they don't discriminate based on gender, either, with Nicoletta den Ridder is a solid ...

Aruban Goalkeepers Gone Wild

Ketchup and mustard kits aside (no corner taken on color richness), this little clip from Aruba has so much going for it. From the mere fact it's a goalkeeper goal, to the Marco Tardelli-esque celebration of unadultered joy and childlike innocent, to the complete meltdown at the end by the ...
