England seek top spot as Panama fight for pride
England aim to clinch first place in Group L against a Panama side already eliminated from the tournament following consecutive defeats.
England sit top of Group L with four points and remain in control of the title race following a 4-2 victory over Croatia and a goalless draw against Ghana. Thomas Tuchel’s side has an 84.1% chance of finishing first in the group, needing a win here to guarantee the top seed and avoid a potentially tougher knockout draw.
Panama’s tournament is effectively over after back-to-back 1-0 losses to Ghana and Croatia in Toronto. Despite Thomas Christiansen leading them to the 2023 Gold Cup final and the Copa América knockouts, 'Los Canaleros' have struggled on the world stage, becoming only the sixth country to lose their first five World Cup matches.
