Of the 32 countries, I have to say Panama is the worst team. Tunisia’s defense is in shambles, but that could be because of change in management. Tunisia actually was highest rated (21) African team at the start of this WC. That was because of fantastic performance in last 3/4 years under Kasperczak, Krol & Leeckens; this local guy came last year, took Tunisia to WC, but their defence has let 7 goals in 2 games in a tight WC!!!!
Panama is overall a much inferior team and unfortunately both Tunisia & Panama got into same group hence along with Group A, this is the only group where 2 teams are eliminated after 2 rounds of game (that A group also had Saudis & Mo Salah less Egypt). Panama actually qualified from a massive upset - they lost to USA 4-0, but by then Costa Rica & Mexico both qualified & they played dirty with USA - fielded substandard teams against Panama & Honduras in last 2 games which they won. For USA, they somehow managed to lose their last game against an experimental T&T team (they were already out, hence Coach introduced several young players for experience) side, conceding an own goal as well, which put them at 5th on table even behind Honduras, who later lost to Aussies in play offs.
USA is a far better team than several countries playing in this WC. 3-0 already in 35 minutes��
They are trying to get Vince's and Dana White's attention, don't see them making a living from playing football beyond this tournament
maybe we can get 10 here ?
