We nostalgically remember the knockout stage of the World Cup against Argentina in 2014. Dmemaili hits the post alone, Dmemaili hits the post, after a heroic fight we retire after 120 minutes.
Players cry bitterly, coach Nati Ottmar Hitzfeld coming to an end. It's a drama. St. Petersburg's emotions are lacking on Tuesday. Against Sweden, players radiate no passion, no desire to win. "It's my fault too," says coach Vladimir Petkovic (54th) immediately after the match.
Where are we after four years of Petkovic? That's the question Gretchen of Swiss football. In the Stammelf he has – if all was in shape – compared to Hitzfeld made only three changes. Yann Sommer for the resigned Diego Benaglio. Manuel Akanji for Johan Djourou. And Blerim Dzemaili for Gökhan Inler. The testimony of Captain Inler was also the only really difficult case to decide

The World Cup Certificates: Yann Sommer: Note 6 | If everyone had played at his next level, we would be in the final in Moscow on July 15th. Of course the best Switzerland. TOTO MARTI

Stephan Lichtsteiner: 4th year | The aggressiveness of the captain is missing in the second round against Sweden. This is not so easy to replace. TOTO MARTI

Manuel Akanji: 4th year | Best performance against the world stars of Brazil. Compassionate against Costa Rica at 1: 1. Against Sweden, he deflects the ball to 0: 1 unfortunate. TOTO MARTI
Fabian Schär: Note 4 | Secure on the 1: 1 line against Brazil. But especially against Costa Rica with stock mistakes and bad passes. And with a yellow too. Missing against Sweden. TOTO MARTI
Johan Djourou: Note 4 | The replacement of Schär is not that of Switzerland in the second round is already over. Against Sweden without fault or fault. TOTO MARTI
Ricardo Rodriguez: Note 4 | The summit against Brazil and Serbia is, as always, calm even, after which the left-back of AC Milan has less influence on the front. TOTO MARTI
Valon Behrami: Note 4 | How he made the world star Neymar screaming without unfair means is world class. Play often too far against Sweden. TOTO MARTI
Xhaka granite: Note 3 | Does he still feel the knee injury of the Lugano camp? Or is he doubled in the Premier League? Shine only with a goal against Serbia. TOTO MARTI
Xherdan Shaqiri: Note 3 | Nice goal to 2: 1 win against Serbia. Is then bailed out by Fifa for the double rejoicing of the eagle. The magic dwarf can do more. TOTO MARTI
Blerim Dzemaili: Note 3 | Go far, always strive. However, despite a nice goal against Costa Rica, you can see that he's not a born playmaker. TOTO MARTI
Steven Zuber: Note 4 | The replacement of Mehmedi shoots with a goal of balancing against Brazil in the history books. Sometimes, he creatively convinces Sweden.
Haris Seferovic: 3rd year | This is definitely not his World Cup. The Lisbon Press Bank hangs totally against the Serbs in the air, is even replaced at the break. TOTO MARTI
Mario Gavranovic: Note 4 | Delivered against Serbia after the break for Seferovic. And the scores with dream help Shaqiris to win the goal at 2: 1. Pale against Costa Rica. TOTO MARTI
Josip Drmic: Note 4 | In the second round against Sweden without commitment in the match. Convinced as Joker in 2: 2 against Costa with Latteköpfler and Tor. TOTO MARTI
Breel Embolo: Note 4 | Justifies his nomination for Seferovic against Costa Rica with the dream help to 1: 0. Against Sweden as a nervous and hasty substitute. TOTO MARTI

Michael Lang: Note 3 | Can do in the round of 16 against the Swedish captain Lichtsteiner not forgotten. Leave the World Cup scene for the red card. TOTO MARTI
Football is more offensive than under Hitzfeld. Cutting point more successful. But despite this, the Nati, seen against Sweden, have not taken a small step forward – while the players in their clubs have developed well.
In addition, and so openly must we say, that Petkovic once again insisted on foreclosure at this major event. A former Nati player said yesterday on the phone: "I did not see any crew with joy." He brings it back to Tolyatti, where the Nati was felt to be at the bottom of the world.
South Africa 2010: "It was a mistake that we were so isolated at Vanderbijlpark." The Nati player confirms: "The players were sad to be out of the tournament, but happy to be able to return home from this place. You have to do something distracted, see cafes, see family, have fun. Hitzfeld corrected it in 2014, where the Nati stayed on the beach in Brazil
But this foreclosure is also an advertising problem. Before the match of Serbia, Petkovic dodged all the theme of Adler – until the boiler exploded during the match. After that, he and the players tried to play down the theme – instead of staging their own media. As the Swedes did in the case of Jimmy Durmaz, for example
Petkovic is hiding and letting players hide. The day after the liberation, he does not face the media, does not draw a World Cup record. Seeing nothing, hearing nothing, saying nothing
