I hope they get the Swiss cunty bureaucratic letter in reply:

Please see bylaws Section 2, Article a.iii, which states that VAR will only be used in cases where a there is a possibility that a foul may have been committed.

That's just corruption though. I was going to say Italy but it is also just corruption.

Yeah, also, in Italy you can just choose not to bother with certain administrative stuff, nobody will give a poo poo in my experience.

In Switzerland, you're hosed if you e. g. neglect to tell the local government where you live or if you use the wrong garbage bags or if you make a "mistake" on your tax return etc. etc.

I've had my bank account frozen without warning here in Berlin because I wrote something on some form and I couldn't eat for a week lol, it's pretty brutal to be honest

Everyone lives in constant fear of the bureaucracy here, and it's totally normal to have to go to a bürgeramt and wait for hours on end there to get a form or a stamp for something because nothing can be done online either.

One of the Serbian players was asked if he had a problem with that and he responded - "Not at all, I'm just curious why they didn't choose to play for Kosovo then." Which is a decent burn because when a new country joins FIFA, players with ties there have a limited window in which they can switch to the new country. And surprise surprise they didn't.

Yeah I wondered about that actually; Switzerland and Albania would've lost a lot of players. I think a few Albanians switched, I'm not sure.

Besart Berisha did, but he'd already retired from the Albanian national team so idk if it counts?

Bernard Berisha chose to play for Kosovo
The hilarious part is that he plays for Russian shithouse clubs, so he's registered everywhere as an Albanian and he crosses the Russian border as an Albanian citizen
