The best performance of Switzerland during this year's FIFA World Cup were three quarter-final appearances in 1934 in 1938, 1934, and 1954. They hosted the tournament in 1954, and played against Austria for the quarterfinal game and lost 7-5. This match is still the top scorer World Cup match ever. In 2006, at the FIFA World Cup, Switzerland made the FIFA World Cup record by being eliminated from the competition despite not scoring a single goal losing to Ukraine following penalties in the round of 16. They didn't concede any goals until a game against Chile during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, conceding in the 75th minute of the match, making the World Cup finals record for consecutive minutes without conceding an goal.
Switzerland and Austria were co-hosts for UEFA Euro 2008, where the Swiss had their third appearance in the tournament and failed three consecutive times to make it beyond into the groups stage.
Overall, Switzerland's most impressive performance in a soccer match is the gold medal that they received in 1924, following a loss to Uruguay by 3-0 in the final match of the 1924 Olympic Games.
