Can anyone give any insights about the chances of Peru to qualify for Germany 2006? It's been a long time since they don't make it to the finals, and they always had traditional, good squads in the past, including in 1970 when they were quater-finalists. Don't they have a world class player that I can't remember his name?
our chances are pretty slim in my view we have a couple of good players but we are very sensitive to injuries and there are a couple of holes which need to be filled 3 players pizarro, mendoza and solano must perform on the same level in the national team has they do in europe sorry to say they never do...
as said our only hope is that pizarro, solano and mendoza starts playing on the same level in the national team as in europe. if that happens we will have a dangerous attacking line. if palacios plays as he did in the wcq to 98 (i doubt that he will however) we will have two good offensive midfielders in solano and palacios and two good strikers in pizarro and mendoza. in any case it will be a more dangerous attacking line up than many southamerican teams right now. the problem lies in the defence i don't think it will happen but who knows? nobody thought that ecuador would qualify to wc 2002
I did There's the problem to Peru and Chile, Ecuador is now a good rival and Venezuela is not the crappy team it used to be. So, this time is going to be harder than ever.
Yup, I did too. But, like you mentioned before, it's going to be harder now that Venezuela has gotten better. The next qualifications are going to be the toughest ever. Good luck Peruchos !!! and may Ecuador make it again!
What are your expectations for the brazilian coach Paulo Autuori that has just took over? He's known to lead weaker sides on paper to win championships, like he did with Botafogo in the Campeonato Brasileiro of 1995, and later helped Cruzeiro to win Copa Libertadores.
con autori llegaremos al mundial el siempre apuesta por los jovenes como Farfan, Moisela, Vilalta, Manzanita Hernandez Juan Cominges , Quinteros ya no se necesita los de anos atras Solano no juega bien en la seleccion porque el se interesa mas por el club que por su pais peru tiene con que para peliar con lo que sea en sudamerica con autori vamos a llegar al mundial y dudo que ecuador ni chile llegan al mundial denuevo porque esos equipos son los que mas faltan un sistema de juego ecuador ya no podran contar solo son sus altos morenos para ganar a los de mas equipos con pelotazos y contra golpes y chile ya saben todos si no esta salas o zamorano no pasan nada porque olmos no sabes dirijir colombia apesar de los resultados malos ultimamente tienes con que para peliar un puesto y hasta con un sistema viejo del pacho pueden ganar a muchos del continente los que iran al mundial ya que solo son 4 Argentina Paraguay Brasil y Peru peru solo por ser peruano y tener fe en mi pais
Can you say that Solano and Pizarro are world class palyers? Maybe they are the big hope for Peru while other Conmebol teams have some of their key players retiring from the NT. Paraguay - won't have Chilavert, Gamarra and Arce Chile - won't have Salas and Zamorano Ecuador - won't have Aguinaga.
if you look at their performances in europe you can surely call them world class players. both have been performing excellent in the european competitions. the problem is that they haven't been able to perform on the same level in the national team. let's hope they do this time. peru has some very good players up front with pizarro, mendoza and upcoming youngsters such as farfan and guerrero. we also have some good offensive mids in solano and palacios. but our main problem is still the defence which must be fixed. if not there is not a chance for us to qualify. we have a weak defence and we also lack a first class keeper.
I would put Peru behind Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, Paraguay and Uruguay. Probably even with Ecuador and Chile and a bit ahead of Venezuela and Bolivia. I would not be shocked if they made it, they have some talented players and they play attractive football. But they have to improve their defense and also be more dangerous on offense. Based on the recent past it seems they control the ball and create scoring chances but don't finish them.
at the moment we only have one true defender in the team rebosio both our fullbacks play better in midfield what we need to find is someone to partner rebosio and quickly
solano nacio en 1974 va a cumplir 29 este a~o sin duda su ultima oportunidad para clasificar a un mundial
The extra half a spot that FIFA gave back. Don't tell me you missed the news of FIFA taking Oceania full spot away?
Bolivia- won't have Erwin Sanchez i think peru can make it. add arg, bra, par, and the rest can fight for the last spot. anything can occur.
these eliminatorias will be very hard fought. i think uruguay has the best chance except brazil/argies it will be tough but a fifth place is not impossible for peru
