The 2026 World Cup will be the first one of all time with a mandatory hydration break due to the extremely hot temperatures that the North American summer has, so every game is going to stop for three minutes each half. There’s a debate about how it is going to affect the game because many people argue that it could stop the momentum of a team that’s playing well and attacking and favor the team that could be close to receiving a goal. Many other people say that it will have a great impact because it would help the players to rest a little bit more, so we’ll have a better spectacle in the last minutes of every game or in the extra time, where there are cases of matches that the players are so tired that almost nothing happens in those extra 30 minutes. Our World Cup API provides live-match commentary so your users can keep in touch with every match and don’t miss any big moment.
In the 2018 World Cup Croatia reached the final against all odds because almost no one had them there in their predictions. They were placed in a group with Argentina, Nigeria and Iceland, who had a great Euro a few years ago, and everyone agreed that it was a tough fixture for them. They ended up winning all matches, including a 3-0 win over Messi’s Argentina. In the following round they beat Denmark after a penalty shootout and went against Russia in the quarterfinals, who were the hosts and had beaten Spain the round before. Croatia ended up qualifying to the semifinals from the penalty spot and faced England there. They weren’t the favorites in that match, but they managed to win in the extra time. In the final they faced France and ended up losing, but it was an amazing campaign for a very small country, and the players were received like heroes. Our World Cup API provides data on live match commentary and on pre-match and live odds to help your users keep in touch with the live results and probabilities.

Right before the 2006 World Cup, Zinedine Zidane announced that he was going to retire from football at the end of the tournament. There were a lot of expectations about how he would play and he delivered one of the most memorable performances ever in the tournament. He scored against Spain in the round of 16 to secure the ticket to the quarterfinals against Brazil. That match ended up being a World Cup classic because he played at the highest possible level against the Brazil of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Kaká and company. After that he also scored against Portugal in the semifinals and against Italy in the final with an amazing penalty Panenka style. He was on his way to having one of the greatest campaigns ever until he hit Materazzi with his head in his chest and got sent off during the extra time. Sadly for him, France ended up losing in penalties. Our World Cup API provides live match-commentary for your users to be able to keep in touch with every big game and not miss any big moment.

Luis Suarez was one of the best players in the world a few months before the 2014 World Cup, but he had a knee injury that made most people think he’d lose the tournament. He had surgery and started with a recovery process in almost record time. He couldn’t start in the first game against Costa Rica and Uruguay ended up losing, but they said they were aiming to the second one against England. Not only did he start, but he also delivered an unbelievable performance scoring two goals in a 2-1 win that gave Uruguay great chances to qualify for the next round. In the last match against Italy, he incredibly bit Chiellini’s shoulder, which costed him a month’s ban. Uruguay ended up qualifying, but Suarez couldn’t play against Costa Rica, and they ended up losing to Colombia in the next round. Our World Cup API provides live match-commentary for your users to be able to keep in touch with every big game and not miss any big moment.

Before the 2022 World Cup Argentina’s striker was Lautaro Martinez, he had been a starter for more than 3 years before the tournament with great performances like the 2021 Copa America. Everyone thought that he had his place secured in Argentina’s starting XI for all the competition, but a few bad performances in the first game against Saudi Arabia and in the first half against Mexico costed him position in the team. Julian Alvarez also contributed to that happen with amazing games and gained his spot fairly, but before the World Cup started no one thought that could happen. Argentina was one of the biggest candidates to win the tournament, but the football world was expecting Lautaro to show up, not Julian. This shows how important every performance and goal in this competition is and how quickly things can change during the tournament. Our World Cup API provides data on every goal scored and shot taken for your users to be able to track every striker’s performance.
