Switzerland is the first team in the World Cup history to leave the World Cup without receiving a goal (of course, we are talking about the match time, not the penalty shootout).

Switzerland’s record in Germany was amazing because previously they were known as the team guaranteed to let goals in. In their 22 FIFA […]

Ukraine, World Cup debutants, go through to the final 8, after the most boring game of the World Cup.

Oleksandr SHOVKOVSKYI (UKR) Budweiser Man of the Match
You can’t prepare for penalty shoot-outs. I try not to get too worked up about it. I don’t think about it too much, I just stand there and completely clear […]

Really, they made their teams play the most forgettable game in the World Cup, what were they thinking?

I expected Ukraine to play like this. It was no surprise, but despite that, we couldn’t take advantage. We didn’t manage to score, which would have spared us the drama of penalties. I’m not going to […]

France and Switzerland go to the final 16 due to last games result: France won 2-0 to Togo, as did Switzerland against South Korea.
The first half was not the best we’ve seen in either matches, but France came back in second half and finally got through.
As for the match between Switzerland and South Korea, the […]

Some words coaches said after the game between Togo and Switzerland.

Otto PFISTER (TOG)
My players really gave it 100 percent. If you’re faced with disputes for weeks on end like the ones we’ve had, then that’s bound to affect you deep down. When you take the circumstances into account, I think they played really well. In […]
