Honduras vs. Panama
2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup
July 10 | 6 pm ET | Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, N.E.
TV: Fox Sports 2, UniMás, UDN in US, Sportsnet World in Canada
The US national team are the favorites in the Group A, especially after the opening-win over Honduras, but Honduras and Panama will battle on Friday night to see who most likely will finish in second place. While Honduras came away with zero points against the US, Panama also dropped points against Haiti, who many pundits considered the minnows of the group.
NAJAR UNLEASHED: Andy Najar is a name that is very familiar to MLS fans. The 2010 Rookie of the Year was a star for D.C. United and his talent led to a transfer to Anderlecht in Belgium. Soon he might become a name known around the world. His performance against the US on Tuesday night was absolutely outstanding and he will try to do the same thing against Panama.
PANAMA DISAPPOINTMENT: Panama met USA in the finals of the last Gold Cup and are expected to advance to at least the knockout stages in this tournament. But they did not start off their tournament well. On Tuesday night they drew against a Haiti side that very few people thought could compete in the "Group of Death." They will need to at least get a point in this game if they hope to advance.
