Panama are going to their first finals after beating Costa Rica thanks to an amazing ‘ghost goal’.

Pundit Twellman, who won 30 caps for the States, launched an amazing tirade on ESPN.

“Iceland is the same size as Corpus Christie, Texas or Anaheim, California. They can figure it out.

“If this failure does not wake up everyone from US Soccer to Major League Soccer. From pay to play to broadcasters to everything, then we’re all insane.

“If we don’t change it then, what are we doing, what’s the point because that should’ve never happened.

“Everyone single person should look at themselves in the mirror including me, I’m part of the programme. It’s embarrassing.”
