2018 World Cup: Is Switzerland's year finally here?

The 2018 World Cup is the highly anticipated event this year, held in Russia to the delight of millions of fans who will be able to place their bets live. Several teams are competing, including one that features Switzerland—a feat for some, a no-brainer for others. Can we believe in the title this year? Head to Russia to find out!

The big event of 2018

With Switzerland having accumulated 27 points in qualifying for the 2018 World Championship, they clearly cannot be underestimated. Indeed, the players have surprised many, reaching the quarter-finals three times in the history of the championship. However, our last memories of Switzerland in the quarter-finals date back more than sixty years.

However, Swiss fans do not intend to lose hope of bringing the coveted trophy back to their country in 2018. The step may seem a bit high, but with such a seasoned team and the help of providence, the feat remains possible.

A qualification by 1 goal

After dominating the game in the first leg against Northern Ireland, Switzerland thrilled their fans in the match in Basel, thanks to a magnificent penalty conversion.  by full-back Rodriguez, that Switzerland secured a ticket to the Russian World Cup.

However,  The Swiss team had many wondering about the return match in Northern Ireland. A more difficult match, this match only produced a draw, enough to qualify Shaqiri's teammates for the big football event.

While this sluggish qualification may have logically raised doubts, it should not be overlooked that the Swiss held their own against the competition and almost qualified directly. Indeed, having long topped their group ahead of European champions Portugal, they only missed out on their direct ticket to Russia following a defeat against CR7's teammates.

We believe it once again!

It's a Swiss team, eliminated almost 4 years ago by Argentina in the 8^e final, who return more determined than ever to get past the quarter-finals this year. However, they will have to be more decisive and better organized on the pitch to win the trophy.
