Arriving into the World Cup 2014 finals after winning their group in a pretty comfortable fashion, Switzerland are seeking to show their worth in the upcoming competition by going as far as possible.
Being drawn in a pretty tricky group with the likes of France, Ecuador along with Honduras. On paper, Ottmar Hitzfeld men do have strong shot in getting into the second round as only Les Blues looked to be the strongest possible opponent for Swiss.
However, after their rather disappointing World Cup campaign back in 2010, Swiss will surely pay more attention on all of their opponents, including Ecuador and Honduras that could provide some surprises in the upcoming tournament.
Despite not being noted as one of favorite sites by neutral fans, Switzerland actually possessed some talented players, who could easily exploded in WC 2014, from senior players such as, Gokhan Inler or Tranquilo Barnetto, to the young talents of Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri, all of them can easily cause problems for any sides.
Being guided by the experienced Hitzfeld, Swiss themselves have been gaining positive points on FIFA ranks as they’re currently sitting in the top 10 ranks, ahead of sides likes Brazil and also Italy.
Switzerland themselves are known to have the ability in troubling strong sides, but the often lost their focus when facing teams that supposedly weaker on paper. This situation is surely something they must avoid should they’re keen on getting into their World Cup 2014 group stage battle.
