as a swiss im fucking angry. i feel so sorry for serbia. ehat the fuck was the ref doing? where was var?
disgrace
and those fucking albanian eagle gestures. i could never root for this team, never. and im born and raised in switzerland. wtf
it's funny that you got triggered by the eagle gestures but not by the serbian nationalist fans that don't recognise kosovo's independence and were booing them all game as well as provoking and even threatening them on social media.
was it a smart move of the players to retaliate like that, further fueling the conflict? certainly not. should they have been above it and let their goals speak for themselves? sure. however, are their emotions and gestures understandable? absolutely.
also, it's hilariously ironic that you complain about a lack of identification, while you yourself were 'born and raised in switzerland' but always root for italy. so when you say 'and i was born and raised in switzerland' that doesn't really illustrate what you were hoping for, but rather your own hypocrisy...
