Panama made news around the world after their second game of the World Cup. While they lost 6-1 to England and were eliminated from the competition, many in the news paid attention to Panamanians celebrations, as they were ecstatic when Felipe Baloy scored the lone goal and Panama’s first ever in a World Cup. There was a lot of sympathy for this, and it’s perfectly understandable for their fans to be supportive and happy about the goal and performance the players gave. But for other CONCACAF members, including Mexico, this was far from a positive.
Panama’s performance is good for them but bad for Mexico and CONCACAF
