The Panama national football team is at the center of a controversy after Costa Rican journalist Josué Quesada made controversial comments about their loss to Ghana. On the 'TD Más' program, Quesada referred to the media relationship between the two countries and stated that the tension does not come from the fans, but from the journalistic environment. Panamanian journalist Julio Shebelut responded by defending his position and denying the interpretation attributed to him. Shebelut assured that his words were taken out of context and that his original comment responded to a football analysis of regional teams after the match against Brazil in Rio de Janeiro. The discussion arose when the presenter asked Quesada about his reaction after the 95th minute of the match in which Ghana beat Panama. Quesada questioned the media relationship between the two countries and stated that the tension does not come from the fans, but from the journalistic environment. As time goes on, the media tension between the two countries continues to rise. Shebelut posted a video on his social media from Toronto, where he reiterated his version and again defended the context of his statements. The exchange quickly escalated on social media, where users from Panama and Costa Rica divided opinions, becoming a trend in the Central American sports scene. So, the question is, what will happen next in this controversy? The Panama national football team is still in the news after their loss to Ghana. But, the real question is, how will this affect their performance in the future? Only time will tell. Costa Rican journalist Josué Quesada is still a topic of debate after his controversial comments. Shebelut, on the other hand, continues to defend his position and assure that there was no intention to attack Costa Rica or its fans.
