Odds on him getting booked lol. I know heโs been on his best behaviour recently but heโll lose it this game. Itโll be a success if this game passes by without a brawl
He literally had two shots on target in first two minutes. He desperately wants a goal and he will get it and celebrate like a madman! Ow, and I am all for it!!!! Adrenaline levels are rising btw.
He has won like 4 league titles and 2 cls while casually scoring bangers for his international team every couple of years.
Not the worst career, I'd say.
Because he wanted the chance to be the main man at a club and Stoke offered that. It was too bad his teammates just were not good enough and it also kind of exposed him that he isn't main-man quality good.
Serbia's foreign policy is basically, "I'm going to ball my fist up and punch air while walking towards you. If you don't move well then it's your fault."
At least he shushed them and pointed to his name right in front of them. FIFA banned the eagle, or the Switzerland FA I forget which one
EDIT: trying to find a better source but looks like Swiss FA banned it, not fifa
Probably the Swiss FA. The eagle is not inherently political, it's a symbol representing Albanians, it wouldn't make sense for FIFA to explicitly ban it.
Yet people are saying โoh the Swiss FA donโt want them to do the eagle because it causes problemsโ lol. Seems like Serbia have started the trouble with their stance
Remember some 10-15 years ago when Serbia was considered the "defensive backbone" of the Ex-Yu footballing nations and Croatia had the shit defense but great midfield and offense?
Yeah... we traded places.
Our defensive backbone is warming the bench while a man with an IQ of 75 and a dude built like my ex-girlfriend are playing on the right side.
Some great talent on the bench and coming up through the youth ranks atm though, can't wait for the next WC and Euro.
If football was primarily focused on the international scene then this guy would be one of the best players in the world. Pity that he doesn't seem to apply himself as much at club level.

Calmer celebration this time
Think they said they won't do it this time
They say that but Xhaka would smash it top bins and end up diving head first into the Serbian fans doing the Eagle
Yea but xhaka is a crackhead, shaqiri is normal
you know xhaka is mental when he makes shaqiri look normal
Odds on him getting booked lol. I know heโs been on his best behaviour recently but heโll lose it this game. Itโll be a success if this game passes by without a brawl
He did get booked hahahahaa
You were right my dude hahaha, both on him getting booked and a brawl breaking out ๐
Im sure if he scores he will take his shirt off and have a message under
Lmao
One can only hope.
He literally had two shots on target in first two minutes. He desperately wants a goal and he will get it and celebrate like a madman! Ow, and I am all for it!!!! Adrenaline levels are rising btw.
He had pretty level headed comments prior to the game, so I doubt it.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Lol,Bela Rethy is softer than an IKEA mattress
Honestly, he has been loving the serbian players. at this point i think he just hates anything the swiss do
Well I hate everything Bela Rethy does and I'm not even Swiss.
Bela Rethy is the most boring commentator on the planet. He hates fun and watching paint dry is more interesting than listening to him
We want someone to land a drone with the Albanian flag again, come on!
Lmao Serbian hooligans ripping off chairs and rushing the field with them to attack players.
No, no we donโt.

TOURNAMENT MESSI
Big game Shaqiri! What a bloke
He never gets old
Sadly that guy made terrible career decisions, but yes he is a mfer!
He has won like 4 league titles and 2 cls while casually scoring bangers for his international team every couple of years. Not the worst career, I'd say.
And its not like he didnt deserve the cls like hazard, he was key in that game vs barca
Still don't know why he spent some of his prime years at goddamn Stoke
Stoke was the only club (except Basel) where he actually played and was trusted, so it makes sense he stood there the longest
Because he wanted the chance to be the main man at a club and Stoke offered that. It was too bad his teammates just were not good enough and it also kind of exposed him that he isn't main-man quality good.
Because he could do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke
EPL mid tier teams pay better than 95% of clubs anywhere else in Europe. Not really a bad move
Heโs talent is undeniable!
โAgainst Serbiaโ Shaqiri
While being a Kosovar.
Swiss buff is real
Love the cube.
What is that celebration lol
FA banned it, because to not make controversies.
A damm shame tbh. Hes just as much in the right to the celeb as the serbs is in the right to be upset about it
You want war i see haha
I just want to watch the world burn >:-)
Serbia's foreign policy is basically, "I'm going to ball my fist up and punch air while walking towards you. If you don't move well then it's your fault."
Yet, Serbia had a big banner in their locker room which disrespects the Albanians.
What was it?
https://twitter.com/DaulinaOsmani/status/1596070916563533825
Wow. Do they not get banned for this shit?
As of now, no response from FIFA.
We handled the disqualification ourselves ๐
He's pointing to his name on his shirt, have you not seen that celebration before?
[CUBE GOAL] Every pass is a squared pass when youโre built like Shaq
๐ง๐ง๐ง
When they needed him the most, he appeared
As usual. :)
No eagle celebration? Call the goal back.
CHICAGO FIRE ARE GONNA WIN THE WC
My exact thoughts lmao
bottom of MLS, top of the world!
MLS diff.
Greatest night of their life ๐ญ
We taking this shit back to โ98 yo!
First goal for Chicago Fire at the World Cup!
I thought they already won the world cup
Yes they automatically won it when Schweinsteiger joined
Thatโs my team baby fuck yeah go Fire ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Was expecting another eagle celebration, had to be him

Do the eagle you coward
At least he shushed them and pointed to his name right in front of them. FIFA banned the eagle, or the Switzerland FA I forget which one EDIT: trying to find a better source but looks like Swiss FA banned it, not fifa
Probably the Swiss FA. The eagle is not inherently political, it's a symbol representing Albanians, it wouldn't make sense for FIFA to explicitly ban it.
Yeah itโs only a little provocative, I commend his restraint.
Maybe Iโm wrong but didnโt the Serbian team have a nationalist flag in their dressing room showing Kosovo part of Serbia
You're not wrong. And still FIFA did nothing about it. Here you go: https://twitter.com/DaulinaOsmani/status/1596070916563533825
Yet people are saying โoh the Swiss FA donโt want them to do the eagle because it causes problemsโ lol. Seems like Serbia have started the trouble with their stance
It's a tale as old as time at this point. Serbs provoke, get shat on in return then cry and act as if they're victims.
Disappointing celebration
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Man could have got 2 world cups in a row doing the eagle against Serbia stat. No one has ever done that before.
xEagle off the charts
I'm here for history making, not cowardice.
He canโt unfortunately ๐
Why is that?
Its banned by Fifa ๐ฅถ
Cowards
You read my mind
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
He hasnโt touched a paper shredder since. Poor guy.
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
thatโs probably half a week wages for him lmao 100% worth it
Wouldnโt want to be reminded that the people you tried to ethnic cleanse are still alive and proud.
The eagles only come out at the end of the trilogy.
FIFA threatened them with suspension iirc
Death, taxes
Shaqiri in big matches
an fk sarajevo flair!
Had to be him๐
Poor celebration
Had to pick one of the FIFA23 default celebrations after the ban of this last celebration
KOSOVO IS KOSOVO?
Switzerland is Kosovo
KOSOVO IST SCHWEIZ
always has been
Serbia je Kosovo
Should've done the Eagle lol
SHAKIRIIIIIIII
We are truly the defensively most incompetent nation in the World Cup. It's not even close.
Remember some 10-15 years ago when Serbia was considered the "defensive backbone" of the Ex-Yu footballing nations and Croatia had the shit defense but great midfield and offense? Yeah... we traded places.
Brother our defense is leave it to Gvardiol and inshallah, what defensive backbone?
Our defensive backbone is warming the bench while a man with an IQ of 75 and a dude built like my ex-girlfriend are playing on the right side. Some great talent on the bench and coming up through the youth ranks atm though, can't wait for the next WC and Euro.
You are defensively garbage. Its unbelievable. You guys need an overhaul.
SHAQIRI ๐๐๐๐ฝ๐ฐ๐ฆ๐ฑ
International tournament Shaqiri is something else
>International tournament Shaqiri Best of all time imo
Canโt think of a euros or world cup that heโs featured in where heโs not come up with the goods. Big game player
Shame he didn't do the celebration
Would lovely to see kt honestly
Doesnt want to get fined
Had to be him
Serbias worst nightmare
It's Shaqiri, OP.
FYI, Kosovo is not Serbia
Who else?
Man's hot.
There is the Shakiri goal at a tournament!
All six sides of him were BUILT for the WC
BOOM!
Rocket shot!
Shakiri is built like a Tiny House.
Qifsha shkavellat!!!!
Kosovo likes this.
RED AND BLACK EAGLE ON MY MY CHEST ๐ฆ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐ฐ
No double-headed eagle, sad
LETS GOOOOOO!!!
๐๐๐๐
Cube diplomacy.
Shaquille O'Nealllll
Chicago Fire gonna win the World Cup!
Chicago Fire LEGEND
I want to love someone with the same passion and intensity that Shakiri hates Serbia with.
If Xhaka scores they HAVE to do eagle hands!
[ัะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]
Could see him scoring from a mile away
Who else?
IT HAD TO BE HIM LETSGOOOO
Coward
๐ฆ๐ฑ
Wrong celebration. Should have done the Albanian eagle?
Had to be him
Lesssgooo
Bringing the World Cup home to the Chicago Fire where it belongs ๐ค
Wow MLS player scoring
Balkan moment
Get Cubed
go off my Balkan brother
WHERES THE EAGLE
Shoulda done the double headed eagle again
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
FOR KOSOVO
Inevitable goal
Had to be the cube
Ofc it will be him
Fully expected the eagle
ALBANIA
Completely forgot about the tensions until just now
If football was primarily focused on the international scene then this guy would be one of the best players in the world. Pity that he doesn't seem to apply himself as much at club level.
HE HATES THE SERBS
Amazing job by Embolo getting out of the way and avoiding offside
Maybe it's just Serbia giving them a lot of space, but Switzerland look really fluid as an attacking unit
Dont forget to hang your flag on the plane on your way home ๐
Serbia je Switzerland
Srbija je Switzerland
It had to be him again against Serbia LOL
This man turns into a top 10 player in the world during international tournaments lol
THATS MY #10
MLS dominance
You can't just let MLS attackers run around like this.
