When fans say they want to see exciting football with players giving 100%, Peru are showing what that looks like
Apparently Peru have around 50,000 fans travelling to Russia. Tremendous effort that and they're definitely making some noise inside the ground.
Yep. Let’s take him, the RB (if Cedric goes), Cueva and Sisto from Denmark.
If you mean Andre Carrillo, he often seemed pretty useless for Watford this season.
I don't know why the pundits are so keen to agree with the penalty. He hangs a leg and kicks out at the defenders foot. Not sure I even know what a foul is any more...
As I say... non contact sport incoming.
Good to see the Peruvians all consoling him though.
"The best players in the world miss them".
Er, Rickie doesn't.

The Peru one? Clearly a penalty. Great bit of skill and has his foot taken away.
I have no problem with VAR overall, but that's the one thing the sport is going to need to grapple with: if everything that should be called a penalty is actually called, there will be far more penalties. My personal preference would be to keep it for most elements but not those judgment calls, simply because I think that the game is better if roughly 75% of all should-be-penalties are missed.
