This Ghana vs Panama Group K clash is more A’s per letter in the game title than any other that we care to check for. It feels like the red-headed step child game of Group L with England and Croatia to meet later on in the day. These teams are probably playing for third place, which has never been easy, and so typical of a ribbons-for-everyone world we live in. We determined pre-tournament that teams only need one win or three points to make the next round, so this is a big chance for both.
