“It is a remarkable tale that illustrates just how much this World Cup means to the people of Peru, who have travelled in such huge numbers to Russia, taking over whole streets everywhere from Moscow to Saransk, where the team face Denmark in their opening game on Saturday, proudly wearing those distinctive white shirts with the red sash”, wrote The Guardian.
“A lot of others held what we call a pollada, which involves cooking chicken and providing beer at home in exchange for money”, said Guillermo Espinoza, an English teacher from Lima, to The Guardian.
Perhaps one of the reasons Peruvians have gone to the limits to cheer their team in the World Cup is because it has been 36 years since they made it to this championship, and, like Rodrigo Verastegui – who plays the drum in the stadium at Peru home matches – says, they don’t know if Peru will get to another World Cup.
