The 2014 World Cup was played in Brazil, and they had a lot of pressure to win it, due to unbelievable defeat against Uruguay in the 1950 edition, also known as “El Maracanazo”. The Brazilian team was criticized a lot by their media, but they started a great tournament with Neymar playing amazing football and Thiago Silva being a wall as a center-back. In the quarterfinals against Colombia, Thiago Silva got booked for the second time in the K.O. stages, which meant he couldn’t play the next round. Not only did they lose their best defender, but they also lost their best player when Neymar received a foul by Zuñiga which injured him and made him unable to play for months. Without their two best players, they ended up losing against Germany in the semifinals, with a humiliating 7-1 defeat, even worse that the 1950 World Cup comeback. Our World Cup API provides live match commentary regarding fouls and bookings for your users to be able to follow live match actions.
In 2010 the World Cup was hosted by an African country for the first time ever. The hopes where high, because there had never been an African team in the semifinals. Lots of people believed in South Africa, the hosts, but sadly they couldn’t make it to the knockout stage. After that, all the continent hopes were in Ghana, who eliminated Australia and Serbia in the group stage and USA in the next round. In the quarter finals they were the underdogs against Uruguay. They did a great job to reach the extra time with a 1-1 draw. It was a very close match until in the last minute after a controversial call Ghana had a freekick close to the penalty area. They almost scored in that play to win and finally reach the semifinals, but Luis Suarez did an unbelievable line clearance with his hand and got sent off and a penalty was awarded to Ghana. Sadly for them, Asamoah Gyan hit the crossbar and they ended up losing in the penalty kicks, so there wasn’t a first time African semifinalist. Our World Cup API provides live match commentary and data on pre-match and live odds to help your users predict results.

In the 2014 World Cup, Costa Rica was placed in one of the most difficult groups ever. They were in the same group as Uruguay, Italy and England, three world champions. Considering they are a small nation without any big stars in football, all the odds were against them. Most people considered they were to lose every match they played. Not only it didn’t happen, but they also didn’t get to lose one match in the whole tournament! They managed to get amazing wins against Uruguay and Italy and then, being already qualified for the knockout stages, they draw against England. In the next round they were very unlucky against Greece because they draw in the last minute, but Costa Rica finally won at the penalty kicks. Their last game was against the Netherland, where again against all odds they managed to get a draw, but they sadly lost in the penalty kicks. Our World Cup API provides data on pre-match and live odds to help your users predict results.

A few months before the start of the 2022 World Cup, Enzo Fernandez wasn’t expected to go to the tournament. He was a promising youngster from River Plate but not a regular in Argentina’s national team. His good performances in River Plate and in Benfica during the following months gave him a place in the squad as a substitute. He entered the pitch when Argentina was losing against Saudi Arabia and despite the result he had an amazing game. He took charge of the build up with amazing passes and managing the tempo of the game. The next match against Mexico he came up as a sub and not only had a great impact in Argentina’s team play, but he also scored an amazing goal from distance. After that, he never came out Argentina’s starting XI and performed even better in every game. Our World Cup API provides data on the performance of every player for your users to be able to track their performance.

Manuel Neuer is considered as one of the best goalkeepers of all time. He was already one of the best in the world before the 2014 World Cup, but in that tournament he surprised the world with his incredible playstyle. Not only he had some amazing saves in almost every match, but he was also unbelievable in the build-up and intercepting counter attacks going far off the penalty area as if he was a center midfielder. His performance against Algeria in the knock-out stages is one of the most memorable performances of a goalkeeper ever. He instilled fear in every forward that faced him and made the goal seem smaller than it was. Our World Cup API provides data of every save made for our users to be able to track the goalkeeper’s performance during the competition.
