James Montague, the writer of this, sat down and interviewed the Goalkeeper of Panama this weekend too, which you can see here. If you enjoyed the video it's a must read: bit.ly/PanamaInt
Great interview! We are extremely excited in Panama! We had a “reasonable” draw so at least the pictures of Panama players running after Harry Kane or sliding over Eden Hazard, or even kicking the ball and trying to beat Courtois will be great! LOOLOLOL In all seriousness we think we can get at least score and a draw in a game. We played very well against Wales
There are at least 5 panamanians playing in Europe. Only 3 players from the Panama national league. All others play outside. Not well known players but we are actualy glad no one knows anything about the Panama team. We play better as underestimated underdogs. Great video..........
That last day of CONCACAF matches was my hardest day as a football fan. Brutal knowing I wouldn’t see the USMNT in the World Cup until Qatar at the earliest...hard to get excited about playing in Qatar, plus knew it was the end of the line for a lot of the aging USMNT stars.
Officially it was mistakenly recorded as 32-0 but was later recognised that the fourth official miscounted the number of goals and it was corrected to 31-0. They scored so many goals that the officials miscounted.
Being Australian was annoying, it was the first time we were they "bad guys", the team that stopped the Cinderella story. Despite the way the Syrian and Honduras players acted
I'm American and I'm glad you beat Honduras. Literally all of the Concacaf teams play that way. We definitely did not deserve to qualify but this is why we complain about Concacaf
SahanD We are shit :( Hopefully Sri Lankan federation starts focusing on youth development and creating a good profesional league where players can earn a decent salary. And making football pitches available too, here in Kandy there are 0 real football grounds. Until then we will continue being shit and losing to Bhutan and the Maldives but hopefully one day we can have a decent team that qualifies for the Asian Cup :D
Not sure if Deutschland 🇩🇪 will win again but pretty sure they will end up in the last 8... I mean they have qualified to the quaters in every World Cup since 1982!
Hussein Ajamieh you right brother I watched the match vs Australia an they were cheating and changed the ref . Unfair game but 2022 where I would be with the name Saadi
Australia wasn't cheating and they didn't have the authority to change the ref. That was the AFC. And it was Syria who was wasting time on purpose and pretending to be fouled every minute. However, Syria did play bravely to the end and for that I wish them luck for the next World Cup qualification.
Great for Australia to qualify but so sad Syria didn't qualify. Would have been a great opportunity for healing from war and an easier way for the international independent media to address the massive lies around Syria, e.g. White Helmets with weapons and aligning with Al Nusra. I appreciate very much how you mentioned them explicitly; overall absolutely great video.
Good start but surely you should of started this a bit earlier, possibly before the world cup draw. Are you going to do a series after the groups have been drawn saying how the teams got there? Some key facts and the key player of each team and how you think the groups will go?
even small country have a good fight, and timor leste is the first match of qualification. it feels sad to see my counrty indonesia cant participated due to fifa bann
Great stuff (despite a few typos). Didn't expect to find such an interesting tidbit about the third gender in Samoan culture, and I'm definitely going to watch Next Goal Wins, sounds brilliant!
Chile; the 2016 Copa America champions being knocked out on the final day of qualifications after a nationality protest they filed against Bolivia, ultimately gave the edge to Peru over Chile: the reigning South American Champions. Definitely one of the most dramatic storylines of the qualifiers.
Are you trying to convince us that 872 matches were watched by 19 million people only? Are you kidding me? A single match for Egypt in the qualifications would attract at least 50 million people (half of the population of Egypt).
That is true. Despite Australia scoring all their goals from a freekick and two penalties, Honduras were never close to winning any of the two matches at all.
I don't think Asia ever has had the top team, it's always been the top 4. But arguably this year you can make the case that Iran is THE top team in Asia. I think that deserved more of a mention in this video. Otherwise great video.
I think in the narration was not mentioned more of Panama's qualifying journey. The team qualified just 6 months after Amílcar Henríquez was shot dead. His last match for Los Canaleros was 1-1 draw against USA on 28 March 2017. Speaking of Syria the fans looked for whatever conspiracies the could make up - from the referee who was replaced in the 90th minute, to the pitch quality in Sydney and even the Socceroos' boots which were "designed for this grass". They have even flooded the FIFA social media pages with their "complaints" and I quote: "We object to arbitration in the match between Syria and Australia, and refereeing errors and a change of referee and pitch changed the outcome of the match for Australia. We demand an investigation into the replacement of referee Rafshan Irmatov and his departure at a difficult time in such an important match. We ask for an examination of the grassland that was not suitable for the Syrian team, while Australian players seem to be wearing shoes that cling to the long grass, so we saw Syrian players fall during the game, while Australia's players are steady." It's a silly world we're living in, is it?
Also the fact that USMNT scored a late winner against Panama in 2013, allowing Mexico to a play off against New Zealand and eliminating Panama on the way.
ivaneurope Rafshan probably was still annoyed about Syria's last minute goal against Iran to prevent Uzbekistan to go to the play offs!(which they should've they've been so close so many times)
Brandon Lampert it's weird that Uzbekistan is so close, but not close enough. I was pissed off 4 years ago when Iran beat South Korea just 1:0 and Korea qualified at the expense of the Uzbeks by goal difference, knowing full well that whoever wins the AFC playoffs would have no chance against Uruguay. Then Uzbekistan lost to Jordan who were thrashed by Uruguay later
I remember the day that East Timor beat Mongolia everyone was so happy and all the kids in my school were saying that they were going to win the hole thing.
Brilliant, I actually kind of like World Cup qualifying games and they are necessary. It is just unlucky when stars get injured in these rather unimportant games.
Australia beat American Samoa 31-0 fwiw. Archie Thompson scored 13 times. It's likely the only time Australia will ever hold a record in international football. We're oddly proud of it.
this was a fantastic video, the stuff that went on in Oceania went unheard of in the rest of the world. Super interesting that Samoa has an accepted third gender! This is something I didn't know! Thanks for the video
First time i see Sri Lanka in a football video and they talk about how we lost to the world's worst team :( Hopefully we can become a bit better someday and good luck to Bhutan too.

Yo, the most mind-blowing anthropological fact was dropped in this video so casually: Samoa have a culturally accepted third gender.

Slight mistake. The record game between Australia and American Samoa was 31-0, not 31-1. Great video nonetheless, keep it up!

Officially it was mistakenly recorded as 32-0 but was later recognised that the fourth official miscounted the number of goals and it was corrected to 31-0. They scored so many goals that the officials miscounted.
Never forget Archie Thompson on that day. 13 goals, a feat that will never be equalled

I didn’t realize Peru used fireworks to disrupt the kiwis, seems a little unfair to me but 🤷♂️
It's very common. The same thing happened to Canada one year when they played in Honduras
The bus driver also got "lost" on the way to their hotel.
This happens to everyone when they go anywhere in Latin America. This is why the US complains about Concacaf
Forgot about army jets flying past the hotel. Welcome to South America
A couple of teenagers were responsable for it. Surely it wasn't ok but it hasn't been as bad as previous southamerican matches
Some comments complaining about the fireworks, I think it's great.

Interesting use of “heartbreaking” to describe Honduras’ loss to the Socceroos. Honduras were hopeless in the playoff over both legs
That is true. Despite Australia scoring all their goals from a freekick and two penalties, Honduras were never close to winning any of the two matches at all.
