Peru V Denmark World Cup 2018

Peru V Denmark

(Synopsis in red)

Pregame bets:

I reckon Peru will be a little overawed in their first World Cup outing since ’82, while Denmark, for me, are a serious outfit with a quality team that could propel them into the last eight. I really fancy this Danish team to go far in the tournament, and with C Ericksen they have a player that can turn a game on its head. This is an easy bet for me, Denmark to win their opener, and with relative ease.

Phew needed that win, was very lucky what with the peno miss and Denmark holding on for dear life in the end. Phew!

Beers: Group D of Beer World Cup:

World Cup of Beer Group C

Football regular Carlsberg against Cusqueña, a Peruvian Beer I have never had before. Might be interesting match up

Cusqueña was a bit tasteless, while Carlsberg was all taste, but I am not sure if it was the kind of taste I like. Still that’s better than nothing, so a narrow victory to Carlsberg.

PreGame:

Denmark, in Dublin, against the Irish team winning 5-1, and really turning on a spectacular show of attacking football, certainly made the world sit up and take notice. For sure Ireland were rubbish, but they did take the lead and looked like they might do something in the first twenty minutes or so. The quick turnaround shows how strong the Danes were. They can easily adapt to all sorts of games, from high tempo attack, to playing the long ball, to digging out a win by all means necessary. The physical side of things and the more technical game, both are no problem to this team.

They have the players to do this. Simon Kjær, in defence, is a joy to watch at times, especially when he starts pinning 50 yards passes up to his strikers, passing deep from his own defence. While Christian Eriksen, on form, can be lethal, not just at shooting but also his general linkage play is excellent. In Pione Sisto they also have someone who can run at defences and cause general mayhem in the opposition box. Yes, I really like this Danish team. A squad that is well used to the tough European leagues and should have no problem in dealing with a relatively inexperienced Peru team. I can only see Denmark winning here.

Paolo Guerrero is allowed to play, and that is good news for Peru. They will need their top striker as they have three relatively tough games to maneuver in this World Cup. I dont know a whole lot about this team, but with the canny Ricardo Gareca, back again for a third World Cup, as manager, I am sure they are a well drilled team open to playing attacking football. His teams generally play an expansive game, but this might be their undoing, as against Denmark they probably should play a slow patient waiting game. Can they play a game that requires this? I am not so sure. I would imagine the Danes would rattle their cages very quickly and attack them from the start. I can see a long 90 minutes in store today for Peru.

A more detailed review on Peru here and on Denmark here

Wow, unlucky for Peru, they did pretty much everything but score. How many chances did they need, and a penalty yet they still lost this game, unlucky. They were lively throughout and had a rake of chances yet didn’t hit the back of the net. It does make you wonder that perhaps maybe they should have had Guerrero on earlier?

The less said about the penalty the better, but here look Messi missed one today as well so its not like its not normal to miss them.

Was very disappointed with Denmark, they were very lethargic, Eriksen was woeful, Sisto had bags of energy but no vision, while N Jørgensen is an embarrassment to forwards everywhere, lazy fucker.

But they were lucky that Poulsen was on form today. he had a great game, definitely a man of the match performance, pacing up and down the pitch, scoring a cracker of a goal and also got in a very decisive header near the end to clear the defence. Brilliant work ethic.

Denmark can relax a bit now, knowing they have the 3 points in the bag and get to meet Australia next, while Peru have to face France, but who knows if they play as well as they did today they might have an outside chance of a result.
