Panama produce excellent footballers - but none of them play club football in Panama. At least 5 or 6 of the Panama WC squad play in MLS, btw. Christ, we just had Cooper and Torres in two straight MLS finals. If anyone cares about reality in this discussion, then there's that.
Go look at Blas Perez' career, the guy has played for 15 clubs in 16 years or something, but none in Panama since he left as a teenager. Perez was on TV in Vancouver lamenting the situation in club football in Panama, talking about how he cannot go home like other players - there is no money, no ownership, nothing, he called Panama club football a hobby league for amateurs.
OK I'm out again. I don’t care enough to discuss further.
