The draw for the 2018 World Cup has put England together with Belgium, Panama and Tunisia in Group of the competition and pits Gareth Southgate against a coach with plenty of international experience behind him.
Panama may be preparing for their first ever World Cup but coach Hernan Dario Gomez has now steered three separate countries to the finals after his previous achievements with his home nation of Colombia in 1998 and then Ecuador four years later.
His achievement in steering Panama past the USA and into the finals probably tops the lot in terms of career highlights and Gomez will now begin preparing to cause further surprises in Russia.
A glimpse of what his side may be like to play against came when they took on Wales in a friendly in Cardiff recently.
The home side, albeit much-changed from their usual line-up, found Panama tough opponents to break down in a 1-1 draw.
