At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, Switzerland set a World Cup record by being removed from the contest despite not giving way a single goal, being removed by Ukraine after penalties in the round of sixteen. They did not allow a goal until a game counter to Chile at the Football World Cup 2010, surrendering in the 75th minute, setting a Football World Cup Finals best for successive minutes without surrendering a goal. In 1992, Switzerland selected English manager Roy Hodgson as head trainer of the Switzerland Football World Cup team and at the time of his selection, Switzerland had not been capable of any main contest since 1966. Under his leadership, Switzerland rose to 3rd in the FIFA World standing in August 1993, which still stays their peak FIFA ranking to this day. Hodgson directed Switzerland to the 1994 World Cup, losing just one game during succeeding, in a group that involved Italy, much-fancied Portugal, and Scotland. Switzerland won their home-based tie with Italy, and in the missing game, took a 2–0 lead before being attached back to a 2–2 draw, and also took four points from Scotland, winning 3–1 at home ground and drawing 1–1 away. Against the Portuguese, Switzerland drew 1–1 at home and lost 1–0 in the away
