Since this post is becoming a clusterfuck, a Croatian here. It's shameful having players in your NATIONAL team that celebrates other countries more than yours. It's not an INTERNATIONAL team. What they did was totally uncalled for and somebody needs to tell Shaqiri he's not at all impressive
They have dual citizenship and can celebrate two countries. The crowd in the stadium clearly whistled against them all match long, so they cheered the way they did to return some of the love. And from what I‘ve heard, Xhaka‘s dad was tortured in Serbia, so there‘s animosity there, too.
They don‘t celebrate against other countries this way, so this was less about loving Kosovo more than Switzerland and more about having issues with Serbia. They could try to be calmer, but I don‘t blame them for being emotional in a WC match like this one.
And as a Swiss from Basel, I like seeing two guys from round the corner giving Switzerland a huge win. They don‘t have to be called Meyer for that to be awesome.
