The Peruvian National Team will make history on Saturday when it kicks-off its campaign in the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Denmark. After all, the team led by Orlando City SC midfielder Yoshimar Yotún is returning to the big stage after a 36-year gap as the South Americans had last competed in the World Cup in Spain 1982.
It will be a moment of excitement and euphoria for the entire country, but the Peruvian squad should keep its feet in the ground as their World Cup debut at the Mordovia Arena, in Saransk, could very well set their destinies in Russian soil.
