Belgium vs. Panama Football match in World Cup 18 June 2018


Belgium starts this World Cup on Monday against Panama. Considered one of the outsiders of this World Cup, Belgium must imperatively win against the modest team of Panama to hope for a qualification in the round of 16. His captain Eden Hazard knows that Belgium is expected in Russia in view of its extremely rich workforce and has only one dream: "We have only one goal: to reach the final”. For this match, Roberto Martinez should propose a composition in 3-4-2-1.

For its part, Panama will play the first match in its history in the World Cup and serves as Tom Thumb competition in Russia. In a very strong group with Belgium but also England and Tunisia, Panama will try to catch some points in this World Cup. This first match against Belgium promises to be complicated for the men of Hernan Dario Gomez, who made no secret about the composition of his team.


Twenty-one Red Devils took part Sunday in the training organized at the Park Arena in Sochi. It was the last rehearsal before the opening match of Belgium in this 2018 World Football Championship, Monday against Panama (17h).

For the second day in a row, the training took place in the Park Arena, facing the stadium where the game will be played. Panama has done the same to preserve the grass at the Ficht stadium. A few days ago, she was already suffering a lot during the duel between Spain and Portugal. For the Red Devils, it's not really a problem; they already know the Olympic Stadium and its turf. In March of last year, they had played a friendly match against Russia (3-3).
