The mood around United States Soccer circles is pretty dire, but it’s the exact opposite in Panama, thanks in large part to our very own Roman Torres.
The Panamanian center back scored what will likely go down in history as his country’s most important goal ever, as it booked Los Canaleros a ticket to their first-ever World Cup (not to mention a great goal in its own right). It should come as little surprise that he’s being hailed as a hero.
My reporter friends in Panama like @BillyPinedaPA may be the only ones working today.
