In a crucial final round matchup in Group F, France needs only a point from Panama, which has no hope of advancing, to advance to the knockout stage.
Captain Lennart was particularly impressive as she scored a late header to help France beat Brazil 2-1 in the second round of the group stage. This victory not only emphasized the team's experience and strength, but also boosted the confidence of Youjane Nassenma, who plays for Lyon, as she opened the scoring against Brazil. I am convinced that Diane, who contributed the assist, will again be the key to France's creativity against bottom-placed Panama. I'm also impressed with the attacking threat of Sima Bacha and Janessa Daly on the wings, and I expect the Panamanian defense to face a big challenge.
Meanwhile, Panama declared an early exit after losing 0-1 to Jamaica in the last round. Nevertheless, I think they deserve credit for their performance and may be able to come back with a draw. Panama's center of defense, Yomena Binzo, will have to play a key role in holding off France's onslaught against the powerful French.
