Coach Jurgen Klinsmann has already suggested he’ll use the no-stakes contest to rotate new players into the Starting XI. Panama has more to play for. With draws against both Honduras and Haiti, a loss would likely send Panama packing before the quarterfinals. Despite Panama possessing more reason to play at their best, history still suggests they face an uphill battle. USA has a win-loss-draw record of 11-1-2 against Panama all-time. That said, their last loss did come on the Gold Cup stage, albeit in 2011.
