Panama vs England Match Preview
Panama and England meet at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, June 27, in the final Group L fixture of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
England arrive with four points from two matches and need only a win to confirm top spot in the group. Thomas Tuchel's side produced a polished second-half display to beat Croatia 4-2 on matchday one, but the goalless draw with Ghana left plenty of questions unanswered.
Harry Kane endured a difficult night in Foxborough, man-marked out of the game and guilty of a late miss that would have won it. Tuchel has publicly backed his captain, but the pressure on Kane to deliver in a knockout-stage World Cup is mounting. Anthony Gordon also drew heavy criticism for his lack of impact against Ghana, adding to Tuchel's selection dilemmas in wide areas.
Panama, by contrast, are already eliminated. Consecutive 1-0 defeats to Ghana and Croatia ended their tournament hopes early, though those results flattered neither opponent. Thomas Christiansen's side set up compactly in a 5-4-1 shape and made life difficult for both teams. They will have nothing to lose at MetLife Stadium.
England's squad depth offers Tuchel options. Noni Madueke is expected to continue on the right in the absence of Bukayo Saka, who has been managing an achilles problem. Marcus Rashford could come into contention on the left, with Nico O'Reilly a defensive option in that flank.
The only previous meeting between these sides ended 6-1 to England at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, a match Kane remembers fondly having scored his first senior international hat-trick.
