USA Vs PN Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: USA look to make it three wins out of three against Panama today.
This match might hold the identity of only a practice affair but for USA and Panama, it is far from so. With either side devoid of chances on the global stage, both the teams will approach this clash on the same level as a competitive fixture.
Defeating Panama the last two times these two teams faced off against each other, USA will be looking to continue their dominance over their opponents of the day. The country is undefeated in its last seven appearances on the global stage including a solid 0-0 draw against Wales in its most recent outing.
Where USA are on an uptick, Panama saw their three match winning spree be curbed the last time around. The 1-0 defeat at the hands of Japan was emotive of the massive work Panama still need to induct in place before they can finally be regarded as a formidable opposition.

Fantasy Picks
Goal-Keeper
With Mejia red carded midway against Japan, Orlando Mosquera was called upon to take over the duty of safeguarding his side’s sticks. And he did exactly that, parrying away everything sent down his way to see him hold onto his place in our side.
Defenders
The two successive cleansheets against Panama wasn’t the only reason for us opting for USA’s entire backline for this encounter. The side has been sensational at the back this year, a team which has pulled off 6 cleansheets in its last 7 outings.
Also, with Panama failing to score against Japan the last time around, this can easily unfold into USA’s second cleansheet on the spin this week. It sees us opt for all John Brooks, Sergino Dest, Matt Miazga and Antonee Robinson.
Midfielders
Opting to play for USA, Weston McKennie showed against USA why he’s burst onto the stage in the course of the last year. The Juventus man was in stellar touch on the day, not only controlling play for his side but sprawling the ball all over the park as well.
Sebastian Lletget joins up with him whilst we are going to be opting for a duo from the visiting team as well. Its one comprising of Abdiel Ayarza and Cesar Yanis who pulled off the assist for his side’s winner a couple of matches back.
Strikers
Although Panama failed to score against Japan, Gabriel Torres threatened to break the deadlock for his side on multiple occasions. USA will see us meanwhile opt for Giovanni Reyna owing to his ability to send down a slew of scorching shots.
Captain And Vice-Captain
The high likelihood of an USA cleansheet sees us make Brooks our side’s captain while Robinson is the vice-captain.
