Switzerland vs Argentina

Here is all you need to know about the match

  • Argentina headed into Brazil World Cup 2014 as a genuine favorite, they won all three of their games, but none of them by more than a single goal. Through three games, Messi has four of Argentina’s six goals, now he is immerse weight of expectations resting on his slight frame.
  • Switzerland. Xherdan Shaqiri. People expected a lot of this key player coming into Brazil. And in Game 3 he delivered with a gorgeous hat trick. His stock is soaring.
  • The only previous World Cup meeting between these two sides came back in 1966, when Argentina defeated Switzerland 2-0.
  • Argentina have been knocked out only once in their six previous appearances at this stage (versus Romania in 1994).

Controversies

  • Win or go home… Africa goes home
    Five African teams started out at the tournament and now none remain. But, Africans across the continent untied behind a range of national teams from Cote d’Ivoire to Algeria, depending on who had the best chance of progressing through the tournament. Nigeria and Algeria ran hard and pushed France and Germany in the round of sixteen, the task was too much and both countries are now heading home. Nigeria was a far improved team than we witnessed last summer at the Confederations Cup. Algeria’s strong running and commitment made them a team that all wanted to avoid. Both contributed positively to this tournament.
  • World Cup Marketing Campaigns
    We have seen different goal-worthy marketing campaigns, big brands produced great advertisings, some including the World Cup heroes, as Beckam or Ronaldo, as Adidas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDUIuzIwwTU) or Nike (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XviR7esUvo) , personally the creativity of Adidas wined the play, also personalizing the official match ball of the #WorldCup, called brazuca (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PImQsVsXCrI) , implementing that campaign with the ball commentaries in Twitter (@brazuca). Anoher great AD is the McDonald’s GOAL! getting us closer the anonymous players and the aim and precision of football.
