Should be fun. I have never seen Peru in a World Cup, hopefully they get out of whatever group they are in (and have better luck in the draw than us in our last World Cup).
Actually, now I hope Peru meets Argentina at the WC in the knock outs, and they eliminate you guys there.
Imagino que los argentinos también desean a Perú en su camino, porque en los mundiales siempre Perú juega contra el que va a ser campeón.
Isn't it obvious? We all support conmebol teams in the first round, because we won't face each other and the better we do, the more berths for our confederation. After the round of 16 we start facing each other, then we stop supporting the other countries.
Ecuador is one of the few ones. Since we started the new qualifying format for 1998, South American teams do very well in the World Cup. Off the top of my head, Colombia in 1998 and Ecuador in 2002 are the only two teams that didn't make it past the group stage. I don't think it's a coincidence. After the brutal qualifiers, the group stage is pretty tame. You face one tough team and the other two are usually pretty beatable.
not to bad (apart from 2002) 1998 - 4 out of 5 made it out of group - Colombia failed 2002 - 2 out of 5 made it - Arg, Uru and Ecu failed 2006 - 3 out of 4 made it - Paraguay failed 2010 - 5 out of 5 made it 2014 - 5 out of 6 made it - Ecuador failed individually Brazil - 5 from 5 Argentina - 4 from 5 Paraguay - 3 from 4 Chile - 3 from 3 Uruguay - 2 from 3 Ecuador - 1 from 3 Colombia - 1 from 2 overall 19 out of 25 teams have made it out of the groups Also this is the first time Conmebol qualified nations are all within the top 20 in the FIFA rankings 2018 - lowest ranked - Uruguay 17th 2014 - outside top 20 - Ecuador 26th 2010 - outside top 20 - Paraguay 31st 2006 - outside top 20 - Paraguay 33rd, Ecuador 39th 2002 - outside top 20 - Uruguay 24th, Ecuador 36th 1998 - outside top 20 - Paraguay 29th
De esos mundiales que nombraste, son 20 equipos calificados en total de Sudamerica, y 16 que pasan. Una 80% no esta mal. Edit: Ya me anticiparon con un analisis mas completo.
