Striker is still the big concern with this team, but it is nice to see Gioacchini out there being so opportunistic. those ugly goals are exactly what this team needs. A guy with a nose for the ball. We have creators, we need a finisher.

Soto not playing makes me nervous. I think we're gonna lose him to Chile. But if I had to trade Soto for Musah, I would do that trade every time.

This team is young and good. And Panama is exactly the sort of CONCACAF team we should effortlessly mollywhop. They're 8th in the region, so we could see them in this year's final 8-team group. This is the caliber of team we need to beat to qualify. Need to bank those easy points. Good sign that we can do that.
