I've seen differing views on this. Some advocate keeping what worked against Honduras and attacking right up the middle.

Others think we should abandon the middle and attack the flanks with speed, given Panama's stronger back line.

I'm no expert whatsoever on this stuff, so would be interested to hear why you think we should be forcing the issue on the left flank.

We blew straight through the center of the Honduran midfield and defense. If they're smart, Panama pack that area of the field when we're in possession. Force us to play a bunch of crosses. The wings should be open. And aside from that, Panama are stronger through the middle than on the wings.
