Diego Armando Maradona played one of the biggest matches ever against England in the 1986 World Cup. During the first half he was already having an amazing game, unstoppable with the ball and being the playmaker of Argentina, but in the second half he had the most memorable performance ever. First, he scored the 1-0 with his hand, in what he later named “The hand of God”, but the biggest moment came a few minutes later, when he received the ball in the midfield and dribbled half of the England team and the goalkeeper to score one of the greatest goals of all time if not the greatest. It was a crucial match for Argentina considering the war that ended few years before and that it was the quarterfinals of the World Cup they ended up winning. 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 2018 World Cup there was a lot of doubts about if Samuel Umtiti, the starting centerback for France, could play the tournament due to a knee injury. He decided to play even though he was putting his career in danger because he was advised to have surgery. He ended up winning the World Cup and being one of the best defenders of the tournament alongside Raphael Varane, his partner. He also scored the only goal in the 1-0 win over Belgium in the semifinals. The decision to play in the World Cup affected the rest of his career, which was plagued by injuries and a never-ending rehabilitation process for his knee. This helps to understand how important the World Cup is to the players, who might risk their career to have the chance to win the most prestigious tournament in sports. Our World Cup API offers the possibility to keep in touch with the live events in every match played during the competition.

Before the 1982 World Cup Brazil was one of the biggest candidates to win the tournament. They had one of their best teams ever with players like Socrates, Zico, Falcao and Junior. They started the tournament with amazing wins against the Soviet Union, New Zealand and Scotland and then they beat Argentina in the following round with a strong 3-1 win. They were playing unbelievable team football, but they ended up losing against Italy in the last match of the second group stage so they couldn’t reach the semifinals. The players identified as the responsibles for the defeat were Serginho and Valdir Peres, their striker and goalkeeper, whom many people say they weren’t at the same level as the rest of their team. That shows how important those two positions are in football to do the most basic things: score and stop goals. Our World Cup API provides data on every shot taken and save made in a World Cup match for your users to be able to keep track of the game.

In 2014 Argentina reached the World Cup final for the first time in 24 years and 28 years without winning the tournament. To make it even bigger, they had the chance to win it in Brazil, their biggest football rivals who were humiliated by Germany in the semifinals, and it also would have been Lionel Messi’s first World Cup. The final was a very close game against Germany, the favorites, but Argentina had the biggest chances. Gonzalo Higuain and Rodrigo Palacio had huge situations where they faced Neuer and missed the goal, there was also a Messi’s shot that went very near the far post, and a collision between Neuer and Higuain which many people still claim it should have been a penalty. Sadly for them, they couldn’t convert any of these situations and Germany end up winning with a fantastic Götze goal in the extra time. Our World Cup API provides data on live match commentary for your users to be able to know every time a shot is taken, or a foul is committed in a game.

In the 2022 World Cup, Spain, Germany, Japan and Costa Rica were placed in the same group. Before the tournament, all the predictions said that Spain and Germany were the candidates for the qualification to the knockout stage as all the odds were with them. It all changed when Japan beat Germany in the first game and then Costa Rica won against Japan the following match while Germany and Spain drew when they faced each other. In the last round Germany had to face Costa Rica and Spain was against Japan, and it was a very exciting match up because the results were changing the whole time. There was a moment when Japan and Costa Rica were winning their matches and qualifying into the next round. Sadly for them, Germany managed to get a comeback but still wasn’t enough and Spain and Japan qualified for the next round. 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.
