So Xhaka and Shaqiri face two match bans. The most stupid thing I've ever seen. Fans chanting ubi siptari, ubi siptari to them all game long wearing Ratko Mladic shirts and you want to ban the players subject to the discrimination for retaliating with an eagle sign.

Anyways the whole basis of this 'controversy' is so fucking dumb. Does FIFA have anything better to do? It's a fucking harmless gesture not a nazi salute. What does this accomplish someone please tell me?

This is crazy. You can rip of your shirt. Throw yourself on the ground and hump the grass, you can taunt the opposing team, but you can not represent your national flag... In a game btw that hoists the very flag that he is trying to represent with a hand gesture. Very funny.
