Panama's goal-getters Luis Tejada (left) and Blas Perez

Panama go into the World Cup as huge underdogs and they will do so with an ageing squad. They will look to call upon the experience of the senior players within the squad. Two of the most experienced players are 36-year-old Luis Tejada and 37-year-old Blas Perez who are the all-time joint top scorers for Panama with 43 goals each.

Striker Tejada has 105 caps for Panama and plays his club football for Sport Boys in Spain. Compatriot Perez plays for Guatemalan club Municipal as a forward and has 118 caps for the Panama national team.

Panama has been drawn in a difficult group alongside Belgium, England and Tunisia. Colombian manager Hernan Dario Gomez has done an exceptional job getting Panama to Russia but it's unlikely they will make it past the group stage. Tejada and Perez though could add some memorable World Cup goals to their tallies.
