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.

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...
 
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.
