Peru qualified at altitude. Those kind of teams usually stink it up a treat outside South America.

Every Peru home qualifier was played at the Estadio Nacional in Lima. It’s altitude in that Pacific coast city would be around 10 metres above sea level. Not much of a factor I’d reckon.
If you were talking about Ecuador (Quito 2860m) or Bolivia (La Paz 3640m) you might have a point.... but not Lima (10m)
Was at this game, will remember that goal for the rest of my life

Peru play a friendly at 10:50am tomorrow morning our time against Scotland.
Could be a good indicator to how they might set up against us. Would think Scotland and Australia would be about the same level.

France should top this group comfortably, but I think 2nd spot is wide open.
Australia is definitely a chance to make it through to the knockout stages, albeit a small chance.
Really need a good showing against France first up. Goal difference may come into play so it's crucial we look to limit the damage in Kazan. If we somehow walk away from that game with a point we're in a great position.

Seen quite a bit of Peru during their qualification. I wouldn't look into that qualifier against NZ much at all (particularly the away leg). Possibly their worst performance for the entire campaign. They more recently dismantled Croatia and Iceland quite easily.

2-0 against Ireland bodes well for us given how many think we're at Ireland's level.

Agreed. Going off one game is stupidity anyway.

2016 Copa America Peru topped their group win 2 wins and a draw which involved Ecuador, Haiti and Brazil. That's right, Brazil, who they beat and eliminated because of that last group game with a 1-0 victory. Some bad referring no question contributed to that. They lost their subsequent match to Colombia in the qtrs via a penalty shootout. 2015 they made the semis of the Copa America and finished 3rd.
Peru weren't far off the other teams who qualified automatically in world cup qualifying either. Only 5 points off 2nd and 2 off 3rd which was Argentina who went through on the last day. Peru drew 1-1 at home to Colombia meaning they went through the playoffs. Conmebol was a tough, tight process.

Not to mention they weren't full strength.

Given we want to preserve GD against France I would have thought the fact they weren't done for fives or sixes was quite good.
EDIT: Relatively weak Ireland side against a pretty much full strength France too.

I would guess all they might pick up is formation or tactic trends. I doubt they'll be giving the result much thought at all.

Not sure how that's even close to what I said, which was just an off-hand observation that we might have a chance of keeping our GD intact after the France game.
Get your face out of your ass and read things properly.
We should be a chance with one of these teams
I reckon Peru, and chance against Denmark. Draw against France and were through.
