What is at stake for Panama and England?

England will certainly be through to the last-32 stage of the tournament as Group L winners should they overcome Panama, providing that Ghana fail to beat Croatia.

The Three Lions have a slightly better goal difference than Ghana, which could come into play, but Thomas Tuchel's side could finish second if they lose or draw vs. Panama.

England are in a very strong spot when it comes to progressing to the next round, but the same cannot be said for Panama, who have been eliminated with two defeats from two matches.

As it stands, England will battle Ecuador in the next round of the competition, with Ghana taking on Portugal, but a lot could change during the final round of games in Group L.
