Shaqiri - The Hat Trick man for the Swiss

Jul 01, 2014 12:48

Interesting facts about Xheridan Shaqiri, the Swiss midfielder who's to encounter Argentina:

He's called the Alpine Lionel Messi as he has the same body structure and lower center of gravity as the world legend.
He's scored the second hat-trick of the World Cup '14 and has been awarded the match of the match twice.

His exceptional dribbling and ball control have sent his team to victory in the past.

If the 22-year old plays against Argentina as he has been playing in the past, it would make for an extremely interesting match and the odds could be in anyone's favour.
