What They're Saying
Panama head coach Hernan Dario Gomez (via Veracruzanos): "We want to have a good Gold Cup. The team feels better lately and little by little, players are accepting their responsibilities. There is always pressure in football and the pressure is always to win the next game. I think we are in a position to win it all. Obviously, there's a lot of competition. Panama has been doing things well lately and winning the Gold Cup is an obvious objective."
Haiti winger Pascal Millien (via CONCACAF): "It's crazy. It's never been my plan. It's God's plan. As a player,you always want to travel and I love to travel, but to have such a journey like I've had, it means so much. I'm just so thankful. I never had any problems while I was away. It was all good experiences and that carried me on."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: This will serve as Blas Perez's final opportunity to lift an international trophy with Panama. In 14 appearances with FC Dallas this season, the 34-year-old has five goals and an assist. He'll look for more of the same on his club's turf on Tuesday.
Panama's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Penedo; Henriquez, Machado, Cummings, Torres; Pimentel, Godoy, Quintero, Gavilán; Tejada, Perez
