Who is the best lame duck for us to play? Costa Rica or Panama?  

I'm going to go to the playoff match and want to be sure we won't get destroyed like in the past 

On paper Costa Rica are arguably the stronger team calling upon players such as Navas (Paris SG), Bryan Oviedo, Joel Campbell etc... who both have played in the English Premier League previously. 

Costa Rica have consistently been one of the top-three sides in the CONCACAF region over the last 30-years, but perhaps experiencing a bit of a blip as they introduce younger players to the team. 

Panama did well to qualify for Russia 2018 but are probably coming towards the end of their golden generation too.

Not much between them but I'd fancy our chances over Panama personally. 


there's no way are beating Panama. Maybe both our teams have a similar market value, but the amount of games Panama have played well give them a huge advantage. I wouldn't rule out the US coming 4th, If that happens hopefully they can shift the one off game to the United States (which will likely mean an afternoon kick off for NZ viewers) and playing in Qatar in June is a huge health risk. Concaf countries also have their nations league in June.
