Football's world governing body has opened an investigation into Granit Xhaka and Xherdan Shaqiri's goal celebrations during Switzerland's World Cup victory over Serbia.
Both players are ethnic Albanians from Kosovo, where a Serbian crackdown on the Albanian population only ended with Nato military intervention in 1999.
They appeared to make an eagle gesture as they celebrated in a symbol of the two-headed eagle on the Albanian flag.
Both players were booed by Serbia fans.
In a statement, Fifa said its disciplinary committee had opened proceedings against Xhaka and Shaqiri, adding: "In relation to the same match, disciplinary proceedings have been opened against the Serbian FA for crowd disturbance and the display of political and offensive messages by Serbian fans.

Apparently they could be suspended two games for this.
ETA: Inb4 that one poster who would randomly show up and bump that thread about the Albania drone incident to argue with Bhoy shows up to post in here.

The guy Bhoy was arguing with. He'd come back like 7 months after the conversation died and bump it.

Is there a rule against any kind of political statement? If so, then suspend them or it’s open season on all kinds of bullshite.

If they get suspended I will rage hard and I don't even like either of them at all.
I mean come on I love the Serbs and all but can you really blame them for giving them a little stick after the way Serbia has swung it around in the Balkans for a long time?

No but Albania would be so much better if these dudes took their roots

FIFA being investigated is what u usually see

This would be some bullshite. Apparently the Serbian fans were giving them jeers all night. So they score and give it back to the fans. It makes for a great spectacle. Who cares?

Good for them. Proud Kosovars. The chetniks are scum and deserved the gestures. Hopefully Brazil beats the frick out of them this week.
