World Cup Football

Peru

Peru were one of the 13 teams in the inaugural World Cup in 1930.
Peruvian goalkeeper Ramon Quiroga was booked inside Poland's half of the field in a finals match on 18 June 1978, when he brought down a Polish player. The keeper habitually came out of his penalty area to 'help' his teammates in defense. Though on this occasion he went even further to the other half of the field and pulled down Polish player Grzegorz Lato with a rugby tackle.
Peruvian goalkeeper Ramon Quiroga, who was born in Argentina, was accused of deliberately conceding some goals in their 6-0 loss to Argentina in a Second Round group match on 21 June 1978. Argentina had to beat Peru by a margin of at least 4 goals to reach the 1978 Final. Peruvian people could not believe that their admirable goalkeeper Quiroga would let in six goals in a match. When Quiroga came back home, he published a full letter in the newspapers pleading his innocence and explaining the reasons for Peru's humiliating defeat.
