This did include a 5-1 victory over Peru and Chile at home with Francisco Varallo being the main striker in the games scoring a goal in each of the qualifying matches. For Peru they would have to take on Uruguay when they defeated Bolivia 2-0 on the final match day with Alejandro Villanueva scoring a double in the result.

The winners of Round 1 will be taking on Belgium or Sweden in the qualifiers to see who will qualify through.

The End of this Timeline

I'm sorry to say but this timeline will have to end in 1933 as I have lost the passion for this timeline. But I did have fun while it did last and at least it lasted almost 30 years which is a good length for the timeline.
 
After around about a one and a half years of not updating this timeline. I have thought in my head that it was time for this to be reborn with the timeline being in the playoffs for the 1934 FIFA World Cup and hopefully get it all the way up to the latest tournament in the wikibox timeline which is 1954 maybe even further. That is if you want it to keep going of course.
