TORONTO — Ghana and Panama will launch their prove-’em-wrong World Cup campaigns tonight at Toronto Stadium.
Soccer pundits don’t give either Group L side a chance to finish ahead of England or Croatia — who square off today in Arlington, Texas — which has helped coaches motivate their so-called underdogs as they prepare to compete in the Ontario capital. It’s the first-ever meeting between the two nations.
It’s the second of six World Cup matches scheduled for Toronto’s waterfront venue. Canada and Bosnia-Herzegovina played to a 1-1 draw in the first game on Friday.
Panama is competing at just its second World Cup. The Central American nation failed to register a point in its 2018 appearance in Russia, but has improved over the past eight years.
