Peru
Big game?
No, frankly.
It's all about the World Cup now so from a preparation point of view, it might have been better to play the game over in Lima. We're still paying for Wembley though so this is a "send-off" game, where players will be as keen not to get injured as to impress Woy.
We may get an idea of his World Cup starting line up but then again we may not. He won't want to give Italy too many clues.
Where are we playing?
Can I go?
Still some tickets last time we looked but we haven't been bombarded with emails begging us to go so we're assuming sales are healthy.

Any useless stats and info?

- We've only played them twice ever: P2 W1-D0-L1 F5-A4 Record: 50%
- Both games took place at the Estadio Nacional, Lima
- In May 1959, Jimmy Greaves got on the scoresheet in what was his England debut but we went down by 4 goals to one.
- In May 1962, England got revenge. A Ron Flowers penalty put them on their way before a Jimmy Greaves first half hat-trick secured the 4-0 victory
An England win, raising false hopes and dreams for the summer.
