Costa Rica vs. Panama 2017 live stream: Time, TV schedule, and how to watch World Cup qualifier online
We’re about to reach the halfway point in the Hex round of World Cup qualifying in CONCACAF.


Costa Rica currently sit in second place in CONCACAF qualifying for the World Cup, two points ahead of Panama and three behind Mexico. With the U.S. lurking one point behind Panama in fourth place, both teams will want a win in this match to secure their positioning as much as possible going into the second half of the qualifying round.
Costa Rica’s quick-twitch counterattacks could be the perfect foil for Panama’s slower grind, exampled by the fact that they were the only team to beat Panama during the fourth round of qualifying, taking them down twice during that six-match group stage. If history holds true, Los Ticos will be in a strong position indeed in the coming months if they can add another three points in this match.
