BBC Surprised by Peru's Performance Prediction in the World Cup 2018

The BBC surprised everyone today by predicting that Peru's national team will reach the quarterfinals of the World Cup Russia 2018. The renowned British media based its forecast, among other considerations, on the team's 15-game unbeaten streak and the level shown by the players in friendlies.

According to the media, Ricardo Gareca's team, known as "El Tigre", will advance to the round of 16 as the second team in Group C, being surpassed only by France. It is there, in that phase, where they will face Croatia and the national team will come out victorious from the match.
