FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Swiss pair Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri for their “Albanian Eagle” celebrations.
Serbian FA chiefs had demanded action from the world governing body after the two Prem stars made the gesture in the comeback win in Kaliningrad.
The pair, both of Kosovar-Albanian heritage, turned the Group E meeting in Kaliningrad on its head in the second half, each scoring to earn Switzerland victory after Aleksandar Mitrovic’s early opener.
Xhaka, whose father was imprisoned in the former Yugoslavia after protesting for Kosovan independence, celebrated his second-half equaliser by locking his open hands together at the the thumbs and ‘flapping’ his fingers. The gesture resembles – and is understood to be a reference to – the two-headed eagle on Albania’s national flag.
Shaqiri, who was born in Kosovo and plays with the Kosovan flag stitched into his boots, celebrated in the same manner after scoring a 90th-minute winner.
The celebrations run the risk of inflaming tensions between ethnic Albanians and nationalist Serbs in Kosovo and beyond. Kosovo’s Albanian-majority political institutions declared independence from Serbia in 2008. A decade on, Serbia still does not recognise Kosovo’s independence.
I hope they will punish them fairy
FIFA cunts will punish them more than they do cases of racism.
Just wait and see
FIFA are a joke, so is VAR.
Yakubu ayiegbeni used to celebrate the same way…
TÜRKIYE, ALBANIA, KOSOVA, BOSNA I love,
When its anti-black racism, those “Aryans” drag their feet like bitches, when its Albanians and Kosovars taking them on, they act as if its the end of the world. I have never understood why the majority like to claim victimhood. Someone said, “they want to be oppressed so bad”. Its just recently that Serbs were ploughing any Albanian or Kosovar in their way. On the other side of the world in Trump’s America, whites have had a Civil rights march approved, they are going to march in DC…For civil rights…
A black man was killed in Belgrade by Serbian skinheads for hanging out with a Serbian white lady, ferk Serbians. I love Albanians because at least they try to get along with my people. If I were to take a side, I would side with Les Albanians + Kosovars, but I know kuna mtu ataniambia haituhusu sisi nywele ngumu. I know, I know. But I choose to take a side.

Whenever you choose side in act of racism you’re a pure racist, and force behind your action is hatred and egoism. So, don’t worry to backup Albanians or Kosovars because you behave like Serbians.
Whatever
ego
VAR is alright.
Takes the human error element out of refereeing.
That I totally agree with.
If being pro-black is racist then I accept am racist 100%. Why lie ? Anyone who is cool with my kind, am cool with them, anyone who is not, ferk them.
Problem is they did it while facing serbian fans, that counts as provocation
Pumbaf…
they investigated themselves and found out that they are not culpable to the corruption accusation mitigated against them.
Don’t worry if you’re pro-black then you will support your tribe, your family etc. No one will consider you fool because you choose being discriminator.
Sana!
