To be perfectly honest, I can't remember much about the home match. I just remember being very irked and scared when they were in Panama...

Let me remind you:
Eddie Johnson has a hattrick.

Dude, you're like the Googlemeister, aren't you? 😉

Regardless, I think the whole point was that Panama is starting to assert itself more in CONCACAF.

I was just saying that even the high and mighty USA were pretty lucky to pull out a tie in Panama.

Long live the high and mighty! 😉

Here's a tip abou the Hexagonal--it's tough to win in Central America. Easy games are tough and tough games are impossible. Why? Count the ways:

1. Out of the way stadiums.
2. Rabid fans who sing/chant/shout all night long outside your hotel.
3. Fields of questionable quality.
4. National pride on the line (one of they only venues to put it to the Americans).
5. Good teams.

We never win in Mexico, rarely win in Costa Rica, and routinely have a tough time in Panama, Guatemala, and Honduras (and soemtimes even El Salvador).

If anyone thinks the game at Guatemala on 7 September will be a cakewalk based on the Birmingham game, you will be wrong.

Win at home, draw on the road=trip to Deutschland in 2006.
