Who could forget when Xherdan Shaqiri lit up the 2014 World Cup against Honduras?
Back then the attacking midfielder still played for Bayern Munich, and was only 22 years old.
Switzerland had done well scoring a 93rd minute winner against Ecuador in their opening group game, but were royally thumped by France in their second.
