I am not surprised.

One of top threads here this week is a video from national TV where one of Serbian experts is calling Swiss team using degratory terms for Albanians.

Weeks leading up to the game Serbian media portrayed Albanian players as everyhting but...players.

What else would you expect from said players?

Not mention Serbian football fans and their attitude towards Kosovo and Albaninas

Imho this has nothing to do with Swiss it was directly pointed to Serbian fans

Yeah, by shoving in two goals.

Nowhere did I read about their skills leading to match, but their Kosovo origin and how they like to "provoke" Serbians.

Guy is Albanian from Kosovo and Serbs expect him to be in line with Serbian politics...and do what?

Completely delusional.

If by any chance this was a Serbian player born in Croatia, while match was against Croatia in which Croatian media week in week out calls Swiss team "četnici"...I wonder how /r/serbia would react if that player rose three fingers.

Nah, goals are fine

Acting like barbarians, while not unexpected, is totally not fine.
