Two crosses in defeat
Barcenas recorded two crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus England.
Analysis: Barcenas took one of Panama's corners during Saturday's 2-0 World Cup defeat to England, helping the team generate set-piece opportunities as part of a performance that produced 13 shots in total. He was part of a Panama side that frustrated England for over an hour before two second-half goals settled the contest. Panama's World Cup concludes with the result, eliminated at the bottom of Group L without a single goal scored across the tournament.
Decent distributor against Croatia
Barcenas recorded three crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Tuesday's 1-0 defeat against Croatia. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
Analysis: Barcenas finished as the only player in this game with multiple chances created while adding 40 accurate passes and seven balls recovered across 89 minutes of play. It has been difficult for him to exploit his offensive potential, with the absence of Adalberto Carrasquilla (groin) forcing him to help in central midfield duties over the first two World Cup games. That will likely be the case again if Barcenas is selected in a challenging clash with England on Saturday.
