lol yeah taunting a jewish player with a nazi/holocaust reference is exactly the same and equally as bad as winding up a country that tried to genocide your family.

The thing is the KLA tried to genocide the family of Serb fans being taunted. ethnic cleansing and other atrocities were committed by both sides https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_crimes_in_the_Kosovo_War#Kosovo_Albanian_war_crimes

So these swiss geek players who probably grew up in a mountain valley full of cows with people in those weird swiss outfits making the Ricola commercial noise on horns should really stop acting out

Lol why should it count? Lets say hypothetically an ethnically german Italian player from south tyrol celebrates with, idk, a WW2 German symbol at Israeli fans would that be cool or a provocation? It's the same poo poo as doing sectarian crap in Scotland/Northern Ireland

fake thug wannabes from loving raclette eating switzerland trying to act like KLA hardmen is corny as poo poo anyway I hope FIFA throws the book at them

Why are you so invested in whether it's ok to do fascisms? Wearing a Celtic/Rangers top isn't banned at stadiums, but singing about being up to our knees in Fenian blood is, do you see the difference? Showing affinity to an oppressed group is not the same as expressing affinity for exterminating ethnic or religious groups.

And I can guarantee you that Kosovar and Albanian refugees (and any other immigrant to Switzerland) in the 80s did not get the Swiss passport for many years after their arrival. Having permanent residency here does not entitle you to a passport or a vote and being born here does not make you Swiss unless your parents are Swiss. They had Kosovar/Albanian/Macedonian/Yugoslavian passports, but somehow that's not real enough for you and you're projecting this KLA bullshit onto it as well. You're making the whole thing up in your mind to get pissed off at the libs or something just get a grip.

If they suspend Shaqiri, Xhaka and Lichtsteiner we are getting turbo-hosed even by Costa Rica.

A suspension would've been absurd; maybe a game behind closed doors for the next nations league or quali or whatever the gently caress is happening after the world cup was what I was expecting. Was the fine more than what England had to pay for Sterling's egregious Red Bull stunt?

Xhaka and Shaqiri were fined like €8k each, Lichtsteiner was fined €4k. Sterling's fine was £16k.

My understanding is that Oliwan is an actual Swiss person who just moved to the Netherlands and started supporting their national team.

I was born in Switzerland, but my mother who is Dutch moved back to the Netherlands with me when I was 6 years old, where I grew up among my Dutch family... so I guess you aren't wrong??

quote:

Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka and Stoke City forward Xherdan Shaqiri were fined £7,600 for making hand gesture to mimic the Albanian national symbol, an eagle.

Switzerland captain Stephan Lichtsteiner was also fined £3,700

FIFA also punished Slavisa Kokeza, Serbia FA president, and coach Mladen Krstajic in relation to comments they made on the goal celebrations after the match. Kokeza and Krstajic were sanctioned with fines of £3,800

Serbia's FA was also fined £41,000 ($54,000) and given a warning "for the display of discriminatory banners and messages by Serbian supporters as well as for throwing objects during the match".

Of course he knew, this double eagle stuff isn’t new; they had a team meeting about it years ago and decided to eschew it (lol). It’s cool and good that they decided to do it anyway to troll the Serbs imo.

Also, fantastic posts greazeball, once again.
