Walker calls Panama match Saka's tune-up

Panama's World Cup loss to England is in the rearview, but a line from Kyle Walker shows how your team was treated more as a warm-up than a threat. Walker said the England match was Bukayo Saka's "first proper minutes from the start" and that the Arsenal winger is now ready to "take games by the scruff of the neck like Jude and Harry do" (1). That is what Panama's group-stage campaign looks like from the other side, a tune-up for bigger names. Croatia awaits Tuesday, and Christiansen's side still need a result to keep the knockout round alive.
