Peru to the repechage: the best memes of the elimination of Chile to Qatar 2022

The South American Qualifiers came to an end and the teams that directly qualified are Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay. The ticket for the repechage went to Peru after beating Paraguay 2-0 at the National Stadium in Lima.

For their part, Chile and Colombia were left without any chance of tempting half a place for the World Cup. Because of this result, dozens of memes began to circulate on social networks mocking the situation of the southern cadre.

La Roja was particularly upset by netizens, as it is the second World Cup they will not go to after winning the Copa America twice in a row. For this reason, many remembered when in 2017 Arturo Vidal took a picture of his children sleeping while promising that he would take them to the next World Cup.

“Rest. Dad has to work to take Chile to the World Cup,” wrote at the time the midfielder who now shows off at Inter Milan. Many of the jokes were directed towards that time.

They also stressed that Peru has become their executioner by leaving them for the second time without the option of reaching a World Cup. Peruvian netizens recalled when the Chilean national team painted the following phrase in the dressing rooms of the National Stadium: “Respect! The champion of America passed through here.”

CHILE WAS SEVENTH IN THE TABLE

The Chilean team came in 7th place in the 2022 Qatar Qualifiers with 19 units. Lasarte's team was seriously questioned among fans on social media for its performance in recent matches.

It should be remembered that the Peruvian national team won the quota for the Conmebol repechage, which will play against the winner of the UAE and Australia crossing. The match will be in June on neutral court.

RICARDO GARECA HAPPY TO QUALIFY FOR THE REPECHAGE

Ricardo Gareca made history again with the Peruvian national team after beating Paraguay 2-0. After the meeting, the 'Tiger' spoke to the media at a press conference. The strategist said that he already thinks about the rival in the repechage to Qatar 2022.

“The key was the uptick we had during the qualifying round, from the middle to the front. We didn't start well but the rally was important and gave us the chance to access the repechage. I want to congratulate the boys for qualifying on the last date for the repechage”, commented the technical director.

In addition, he referred to the next rival that will come out between the United Arab Emirates and Australia. “Now it is to know the rival, we are going to be aware of who is our turn. I think we will have enough time, although it will be a difficult opponent. We are all looking to get to Qatar, but the most important thing now is to try to be with the family, that the players return to the rhythm, that the boys with problems recover and thus arrive in an important way.”
