This game is clearly not being taken hugely seriously by either team, and it maybe completely different run on XIs in each half.

The AWs may win, but it won't mean much. There will be no crowd, no atmosphere. It's a bonus run around to try a few combos, work off some rust.

But if Baze fails to get a win against either China or Panama then I'm not sure, he should stay in charge beyond this year. Those are 2 winnable games that matter more, against teams near our level (yes Panama ranked alot higher). But to show the AWs are progressing we should be winning at least one of those 2 matches. Esp as Panama like us are not at full strength post the WC (5 debutants in their squad) for Japan.
