Is It Do or Die for Peru?

June 14th, 2008 | By: joemenen | 2 Comments »

The hopes for a World Cup appearence for Peru rests on the results “La Rojiblanca” will obtain against Colombia in Lima this Saturday and Uruguay on Tuesday. The Peruvian players know that Peru must start winning all home games to be able to fight for one of the four spots to represent South America in the next 2010 World Cup in Africa. Nolberto Solano, Peru’s captain, sees this game as a must win, not only to start moving up on the placement chart but also to get their morale back after a couple of disapointing losses to Spain and Mexico. The Peruvian national media is asking for coach Jose Del Solar to resign after last Sunday’s horrific effort against Mexico losing 0-4. It has been a week full of rumors, the top rumor was that coach Del Solar had resigned after the Mexico game in the Peruvian Locker room, all rumors were denied by coach Del Solar at a press conference in Lima on Wednesday. The coach let everyone know that with important qualifiers against Colombia Saturday and Uruguay on Tuesday anyone that knows of his character would never think that would be true. Coach Del Solar stated that his contract expires in December 2009, but if the federation asked him to step down he would do just that. Coach chemo continues to play 2 center midfielders trying to find the right players that can compliment each other, one with a defensive mind and another with a creative mind and the lack of creativity by the players he sends in is being questioned by many, but he has confidence that his team will come together this Saturday against Colombia and show a different effort that will satisfy and quiet all his critics.

I give Coach Del Solar one advise, get your team together this Friday Night before the game against Colombia and make them watch those 1970’s and 1980’s teams that left their skin out on the field but also showed a touch of glamour as they moved the ball from one end to the other with creativity and force.

“ARRIVA PERU CARAJO!” LET’S GO PERU , IT’S TIME TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

DON’T FORGET TO POST YOUR THOUGHTS OF THE GAME…….

Well Joemenen you were right. Due or Die…. Peru has been sick for a long time and “El Sacerdote (Commission 2010)le dio los Santos Oleos” after suspending all those players. They knew the Rojo y Blanca was in bad shape and penalize those players with an 18 ridiculous month’s suspension. Now, it won’t be the Commission’s fault if Peru doesn’t qualify. It is sad to watch them play. But it’s our reality. Hopefully, something good happens this weekend….1-1 to Colombia well, what can we say? Did we really think we could bit them after watching them against Mexico? Uruguay on Tuesday…. well, I still believe in miracles.
Peru has to get rid of everyone on the “Comision” as well as FPF. And start from Futbol 101…. Get a good book like “Commission 2010 for Dummies” interview for that position and make people accountable. They also need to write new rules to manage their behavior; even though we know they are professionals and should know better. They have behaved that way forever. Since Lolo Fernandez was a water boy for “la U”.

I hope I can go to a World Cup one day to watch “La Rojiblanca” play. Hopefully, it will be sooner that what I think.
