Here, I'll help out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peru_national_football_team Maybe you can say early '80s at best, it's still over 25 years.
davies,nguyan and gaven werent those players. if your the best players in your country it doesnt matter if your a little on the younger side but when your younger and theres older players that are better than they shouldnt be called up to the senior team(younger players)
