Probably because it’s been 36 years since their last appearance. Did you know it had been 36 years? I had no idea it’s been 36 years until the announcers said it had been 36 years for the 3,636th time.
So, your normal PK guy, the captain and top goal scorer ever for your country, is sitting on the bench. I'm still mystified at that decision.
Aside from Spain/Portugal, this Peru/Denmark game has been the most fun to watch so far. Peru are fearless. And these announcers are hilarious
[uck fay], [uck fay], [uck fay], [uck fay], [uck fay]. Peru deserved better and, now, they are super screwed for the group.
I am [dadgum] pissed that Guerrero didn’t start. You have to nick a point here. Have to have to have to.
Croatia is how you want to be built if you don't have any megastars. Strong midfield. Their attack is kind of underrated, too. Kramaric and Rebic are decent players. I hope that in 2026 our midfield three of McKennie, Parks, and Adams are as strong as Croatias. Games are won in the midfield.
