Canada boss Hart identifies Panama as WC qualifying dangers

Canada national team manager Stephen Hart suggests Panama is the team to watch in Group C of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying.

The Canucks find themselves drawn with the Panamanians as well as Cuba and Honduras in the third round of qualifying but Hart is still targeting six wins from their home and away matches in order to progress to the final qualification phase.

"The last qualifying campaign, we said 10 points should qualify us and Jamaica got 10 points and got knocked out. Realistically, you have to get 12 points and be safe, but we're going for 18," Hart said.

"All of them bring something different, especially at home. Panama is the team in the group that is most consistent. They've played consistently every game I've seen them play. They have a group of players that has played together for a long time."
