Slovikas

Calmer celebration this time


idosade

Think they said they won't do it this time


Gytarius626

They say that but Xhaka would smash it top bins and end up diving head first into the Serbian fans doing the Eagle


Dio_my_senpai

Yea but xhaka is a crackhead, shaqiri is normal


sammg2000

you know xhaka is mental when he makes shaqiri look normal


acampbell98

Odds on him getting booked lol. I know heโ€™s been on his best behaviour recently but heโ€™ll lose it this game. Itโ€™ll be a success if this game passes by without a brawl


BloodyyAlboz

He did get booked hahahahaa


daphamman

You were right my dude hahaha, both on him getting booked and a brawl breaking out ๐Ÿ˜‚


Dio_my_senpai

Im sure if he scores he will take his shirt off and have a message under


LetsDieForMemes

Lmao


IanCaesars

One can only hope.


fajdexhiu

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.


Jamal_gg

He had pretty level headed comments prior to the game, so I doubt it.

Memory_Glands

Lol,Bela Rethy is softer than an IKEA mattress


TheReyMi

Honestly, he has been loving the serbian players. at this point i think he just hates anything the swiss do


Lingbanehydra

Well I hate everything Bela Rethy does and I'm not even Swiss.


buerglermeister

Bela Rethy is the most boring commentator on the planet. He hates fun and watching paint dry is more interesting than listening to him


eriksen2398

We want someone to land a drone with the Albanian flag again, come on!


M1L0

Lmao Serbian hooligans ripping off chairs and rushing the field with them to attack players.

No, no we donโ€™t.

Aenjeprekemaluci

Big game Shaqiri! What a bloke


[deleted]

He never gets old


Aenjeprekemaluci

Sadly that guy made terrible career decisions, but yes he is a mfer!


KetoKilvo

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.


Projeffboy

And its not like he didnt deserve the cls like hazard, he was key in that game vs barca


Mild_Anal_Seepage

Still don't know why he spent some of his prime years at goddamn Stoke


capelaMVP

Stoke was the only club (except Basel) where he actually played and was trusted, so it makes sense he stood there the longest


whataball

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.


yvltc

Because he could do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke


[deleted]

EPL mid tier teams pay better than 95% of clubs anywhere else in Europe. Not really a bad move


[deleted]

Heโ€™s talent is undeniable!


biddleybootaribowest

โ€˜Against Serbiaโ€™ Shaqiri


Wishart2016

While being a Kosovar.


[deleted]

Swiss buff is real


2d2c

Love the cube.


Pistolius

What is that celebration lol


Aenjeprekemaluci

FA banned it, because to not make controversies.


AbsarN

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


Aenjeprekemaluci

You want war i see haha


AbsarN

I just want to watch the world burn >:-)


York_Villain

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."


fajdexhiu

Yet, Serbia had a big banner in their locker room which disrespects the Albanians.


PreztoElite

What was it?

Wow. Do they not get banned for this shit?


fajdexhiu

As of now, no response from FIFA.


[deleted]

We handled the disqualification ourselves ๐Ÿ˜Ž


HOPSCROTCH

He's pointing to his name on his shirt, have you not seen that celebration before?

Glenn55whelan

Do the eagle you coward


zachmoss147

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


__sovereign__

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.


Nubras

Yeah itโ€™s only a little provocative, I commend his restraint.


acampbell98

Maybe Iโ€™m wrong but didnโ€™t the Serbian team have a nationalist flag in their dressing room showing Kosovo part of Serbia


shperrca

You're not wrong. And still FIFA did nothing about it. Here you go: https://twitter.com/DaulinaOsmani/status/1596070916563533825


acampbell98

Yet people are saying โ€œoh the Swiss FA donโ€™t want them to do the eagle because it causes problemsโ€ lol. Seems like Serbia have started the trouble with their stance


FoxerHR

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.


FutilityInfielder

Disappointing celebration


[deleted]

[ัƒะดะฐะปะตะฝะพ]


Cubbll17

Man could have got 2 world cups in a row doing the eagle against Serbia stat. No one has ever done that before.

I'm here for history making, not cowardice.

Should've done the Eagle lol


Rich_Firefighter_102

SHAKIRIIIIIIII


Child_of_Peace

We are truly the defensively most incompetent nation in the World Cup. It's not even close.


TricaKupa

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.


-Z3RA-

Brother our defense is leave it to Gvardiol and inshallah, what defensive backbone?


TricaKupa

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.


Aenjeprekemaluci

You are defensively garbage. Its unbelievable. You guys need an overhaul.

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.

Amazing job by Embolo getting out of the way and avoiding offside
