Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka could face punishment for 'political' goal celebrations

if a genocide was perpetrated on your people less than 3 decades ago you have the right to do all the "political" celebrations you want when you score against the perpetrators for your new country that rescued your family and gave you a new life. the serbian players may have been toddlers or not even born yet, but lets not act like to this day serbia isn't filled with people who were complicit. this isn't some non-german european player bringing up world war 2. some of these swiss players were actually born in the balkans before fleeing. the wounds are fresh.

Want to see my boy Lukaku with a hat trick today




Hazard and any other chelski player in this World Cup.

Whilst I don’t disagree with their sentiments for doing so, where do you eventually draw the line on making political statements? I understand and sympathize with the players but you let one group make political statements, you can’t pick and choose who can say what afterwards.
