Peru's captain and record scorer Paolo Guerrero will miss the world cup due to a positive drugs test (Cocaine).

Rightly so. Damn, I hope he was at least clean when he played for HSV in 2006-2012

Guerrero played a major role in Peru's qualification and now he has been exposed as a drugs cheat. In all seriousness Peru should not be invited to take their place at the tournament. Not that FIFA will have the backbone.

So our best player misses the World Cup. Normally I would be pissed, but I'm not too worried actually. Jefferson Farfan has been on a tear and its class rather than form. He already got his CV to a high at Schalke.

He was your best player cos he was juiced up.
Shame on him. Shame on you. Shame on llamas. They're not even a real fucking animal.

Peru should have to replay every qualifying game with 10 men.

It makes no difference to their World Cup qualification, but Nigeria have had their 1-1 draw with Algeria voided and a win awarded to Algeria, due to Nigeria fielding an ineligible player. Abdullahi Shehu was suspended due to yellow cards picked up in previous games, but played 90 minutes anyway.

Quite easy for FIFA when it makes no difference to any qualification outcomes, but would have been quite messy if it had, it'd be interesting to know if they would have hypothetically done the same.

Unfortunately, corrupt FIFA, reduced the ban of 1 year for Guerrero to 6 months, meaning he's available for World Cup 2018. Did the Peruvian FA send some hookers to the geriatric fifa officials to do some ...."persuading"? Anyway, disgusting decision (again) from the FIFA.

Once again the credibility (if they still had any) of FIFA gets even weaker...

damn, ive just realised we could field a damn fucking good team at the world cup, i think its stronger as our team of 2014

i would prefer a 4-3-3

Sane-Werner-Reus
Kroos Gündogan
Kedhira
Hector-Boateng-Hummels-Rüdiger
Neuer

and what for subs we could offer: ter Stegen, Müller, Özil, Can; Gomez, Götze; Höwedes

Poor Ter Stegen. One of the top 5 goalkeepers in the world but not even the best in his country.

No. Never. Absolutely not. The retired players was the character that won you the World Cup last time around. Since then, you're bottlers. You lost to France don't you remember? I'm not even having a dig here. If you had some balls you would have won the semi easily.

Your biggest problem is you lack of a CF. Neither Sané nor Reus are CFs and we saw how lacklustre you were without won in the group stages of Brazil 2014. I never know whether Kroos is rubbish or world-class. He's a great passer but does he bring it when the going gets tough? I don't think so. Also, Rüdiger at RB?

Neuer's pretty good though.

Schweinsteiger gave the penalty away which gave france the lead.

As you could see above, ive fielded Werner as CF. I think, 40 goals in the past 18 months isnt that bad.

Replace Rüdiger with Kimmich.

Also i could see Havertz going to the world cup. What a fucking beast he is. Will rule the midfield world in a few years. 8 goals and 14 assists and he is still 18.

Funny to read that from a frenchman whose team bottled the final of the Euro 2016 at home against a mediocre Portugal side who had to play nearly the whole match without Ronaldo.

But you're right, the 2018 team isn't better than the 2014 team but still strong enough to reach the minimum "target" for a German team in a tournament, the semi-finals.

we saw how lacklustre you were without won in the group stages of Brazil 2014.

Hey, we "won" 2 of 3 in the group stages, even 4-0 against Portugal with Ronaldo (see above ...."bottlers" :D ). Yeah, I know it's a typo from you and you mean "one" here but I couldn't resist ;) )

Is it really a win if you only score 1 against USA? Trinidad and Tobago scored 2.

We didn't want to score more goals out of respect for Jürgen Klinsmann. One of football's greatest divers ;)

or is it only because of: Trinidad&Tobago >> Germany ?

It's hard to get our lineup down for the World Cup but I reckon it would be this

Gallese
Advincula - Rodriguez - Ramos - Trauco
Tapia - Yotun
Farfán - Cueva - Flores
Guerrero

We'll need to slightly alter the system in order for slow Farfán to work, as well as fast Advincula instead of defensive Corzo. Gareca will get it right. The France match is a loss, the other 2 games are the important ones.

You also have Draxler, Kimmich, Wagner, Sule and Rudy at your disposal.

I'm surprised none of them are in your team, unless they're injured I don't know.

Nope. Too expensive due to trip length. I wasted my money on the New Zealand trip :(

Fool. Still I expect Ekaterinburg to be crawling with Peruvians as the game looks sold out and we don't travel in big numbers.
We're 8th in nations sold so far. Not even expats, they are locals!

You can see how much this means to us.

Indeed. I wasn't alive when you last made it. I'm looking forward to a great footballing fiesta on the other side of the world (Ekaterinburg is 1800km east of Moscow) with your fellow countrymen. If I don't get in, so be it. Got tickets for every other game I was planning to go to (including England/Belgium at Kaliningrad).
