The Switzerland national football team won their World Cup group stage match against Bosnia and Herzegovina 4-1. Granit Xhaka, the captain of the Swiss team, scored a penalty goal in the final minutes of the game to seal the win. After the goal, he provoked with a gesture, opening and closing his right hand as if to say, „Let them talk.“ Xhaka had previously caused unrest when he criticized the discipline within the team and said that they should not try to solve everything alone or put themselves in the spotlight. The midfielder had also publicly criticized the team's performance after their weak start against Qatar. The gesture was likely a reaction to a provocative report by the „Blick“ newspaper, which claimed that several Swiss national players were unsettled and no longer felt comfortable after Xhaka's critical comments. Xhaka demands pride and says he doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He has played 148 games for the Swiss national team and is an important player in the team. The Switzerland national football team will continue to fight for a spot in the next round. Xhaka will remain a key player for the team. The Swiss will build on their performance against Bosnia and Herzegovina and try to improve their chances of advancing to the next round.
