It looks like Switzerland is going to avoid any punishment from FIFA for the player altercations against Serbia. Serbia on the other hand had proceedings opened for several violations.

https://www.football365.com/news/xha...ascist-slogans

Quote:
A Fifa statement read: “The Fifa disciplinary committee has opened proceedings against the Football Association of Serbia due to potential breaches of articles 12 (misconduct of players and officials), 13 (discrimination) and 16 (order and security at matches) of the Fifa disciplinary code related to incidents during the Serbia v Switzerland World Cup match that took place on 2 December.”

A public address announcement in the 77th minute of the game asked the crowd to refrain from “discriminatory chants and gestures”, with an eyewitness telling The Guardian that Serbia supporters were ‘displaying fascist slogans and aimed racist chants towards ethnic Albanians’.

Serbia being sanctioned for things like that is practically a tournament tradition at this point.

You'd be surprised if they went through a tournament without punishments like this.

Ramos completing validating Ronaldo's benching with two goals and an assist.

Edit: Make it a hatty. More knockout goals than Messi and Ronaldo combined lol.

Minimize distraction? If he ends up playing a few minutes, media might not make it as big of a thing, especially given the result

I've heard the chant in question. It is literally "kill, kill, kill [slur for Albanian Person]". This is in addition to proceedings for the flag/map the players hung in their dressing room that shows a Greater Serbia.

The flag with the inscription “We do not surrender” was also displayed by several Serbia fans in the stadium during the opening 2-0 World Cup defeat against Brazil in Qatar on Thursday.

Ronaldo is pissed that Leao scored instead of floating in a cross for him to head in.

So Canada was in a group with 2 quarter finalists and the number 2 ranked team by FIFA rankings.

And probably deserved a better fate than what they got in terms of coming away with points ( Deserved a win against Belgium and draw against Morocco IMO)

Almost all of the powerhouses got through to QF, minus Spain. Awesome for Morocco!

Wait until the Croatia/Morocco final. All us Canadian fans will be unbearable at that point!

People see what they want to see.

He's obviously no angel and will never be a symbol of grace and class, but the assumptions and rushes to judgement over anything the cameras catch him doing is something else.
