#3 Peru - Paolo Guerrero
La Blanquirroja is competing in the World Cup for the first time since 1982 and it's captain almost missed the trip to Russia due to a cocaine ban.
Thankfully for the Peruvians, the ban was appealed and reduced from a year to six months.
Guerrero is a leader on the pitch, and his strength in the air and set-piece taking ability will be vital for his country.
The Peru captain is all-time leading goalscorer for Peru and will undoubtedly be the focal point of every Peruvian attack. Expect him to combine well with Farfán to make the most of their adventure in Russia.
Notable Mention: Jefferson Farfán
