Guest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Alberto Rodríguez out for 12 days. I'm slowly beginning to wonder if we should start Santamaría instead in Russia. Did well in these 2 friendlies and Rodriguez isn't going to have a ton of time to build match fitness. Great player but it's risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Also I'm beginning to lose hope on Guerrero. Someone from FIFA wants the 1 year ban to be put back in place and there is WADA who wants 2. Odds are against him. I'll be gutted for him if he misses the World Cup but in terms of actual football I think we'll be fine. So far we haven't lost without him, which shows what a unit we have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber nudge+ Posted May 4, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted May 4, 2018 I really don't care about the outcome, but the whole process is ridiculous. First they give him a ban, then he successfully appeals it, then some anti-doping group wants to extend the ban, then FIFA suddenly wants to extend it two, but a year shorter than the anti-doping group, it's just ridiculous haha. Why are they changing their mind numerous times? If he's found guilty, give him a proper ban, if he's not, don't. How fucking hard can it be.

The only reason I care about the outcome now is because I want him to fulfill his dream of playing in the World Cup where he led us to the tournament with his leadership. I know we can win without him, but I would have loved to see him with us. You can't win them all. We've already won one TAS process in the last year.

Guest Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 @nudge So it appears FIFA are not allowed to change their opinion in TAS I still think Guerrero has the odds stacked against him, but maybe he still has a chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t believe there’s no inside information to be honest. Very true...

Usually (may be wrong though) when it takes time to make an announcement it's due to how to process and relay that news so that all parties are satisfied and the least amount of damage is done. But like I said... It may be different this time because in truth it's all very complicated due to how laws are interpreted in different confederations combined with the ultimate football authority, FIFA.

To be honest, any Slanish sports person that's ever been accused of taking drugs in any capacity I've hoped they were severely punished if under all the protective home media cavern there was even more dodgy goings on.

Both. Here in Peru a lot of people go by agenda's though. Some don't have a clue on the situation while others are supporting him because he is innocent. Those agenda filled fans that don't know support him because he helped us get here. Im not a chemical or political expert, but I highly doubt that someone with the professionality level of Guerrero would do such a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not yet, and the odds are against him but whatever the verdict is, it doesn't exactly mean that he actually did drugs, just that he lost the case and he'll have to accept watching the World Cup on TV. Nudge posted what happened earlier in another thread but what Paolo did as far as we know was completely legal - and I believe them. Paolo isn't a fool. He's professional enough to know the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Jefferson Farfán is a champion in Russia with Lokomotiv as they beat Zenit 1-0 to mathematically secure the title. Hopefully they rest him now in however many games left so he doesn't get an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Paolo Guerrero will play for Flamengo tomorrow. He has been called up by the team. I really want Paolo to get back on the pitches, but it's going to feel odd to see him play once again when he could possibly get banned. Play 1 game then don't play another 6 months or another year. As Nudge pointed out, this whole process is a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Many rumours of Claudio Pizarro getting called up for the World Cup. Hope it doesn't happen, I fear it could affect the dressing room just like when Cubillas was called up in 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Our squad should be out around May 14th, according to reports. There will be surprises in our 35 but I think our 23 is clear as day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Christian Cueva got sent off for Sao Paulo vs Rosario Central because he wanted to get to Peru early to train. His club are angry and now he's going to have to find a new club after the World Cup when he gets back. If he performs, then he will find a new team easily but he's got too much of a prick attitude. I'm surprised he's lasting this long at decently high level football. He's got the talent but Peruvians who have been like him have all ended up at mid table Peruvian teams. Reimond Manco the prime example. I think he's brilliant but he needs to change his attitude after the World Cup if he's to play in Europe because like that he won't last. He'd become another El Hadji Diouf really. I hope that's not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Its over. Guerrero suspended for 14 months (not sure if that means 8 more, or 14 more) I'm gutted but I had a feeling this was coming seeing as how things were going. This means we should announce our World Cup squad later today or tomorrow. Without Paolo, I would play with Farfan up top. Carrillo, Cueva and Flores as the 3 attacking midfielders/wingers and Yotun and Tapia in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Profesor Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Bad news for @Blue , Guerrero´s lost his appeal and will serve a 14-month suspension. Out of the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
