I have to admit Vargas is the ONLY reason I watch Peru play. Uruguay is still my fav though...so many great players on that squad. I hope someone covers their game against Italy next week. I'm really looking forward to that one. Thanks for the great pics as always :)

Vargas is something special. I am so happy I got the chance to see him play in person in Toronto when Peru came to play vs Canada in an exhibition match last summer (2010).


Uruguay is like the new Spain! I wonder if they can go all the way in the next World Cup? Would be great to have a South American team be World champions again. ;)

No Argies? Hmm...\

YAY for Coates, though. I'm so happy he will apparently get to play, too.

Also, who's the curly Peruvian in the second Peru pic? He looks quite cute.

Valderrama is a hero - forever!

Thanks for this lovely post - I'm so happy you collect all these pics and post them!

There were NO Argie pics at the time I found the other ones. Not all the teams' players were there yet...there will probably be pics today! :)

Let me check out the curly Peruvian...

Valderrama is the best! :)

You're very welcome! :)
