Did Shaqiri score against Serbia? Did he make the two headed eagle symbol again?
Yes. No.
Fucking race traitor.
He was apologising to the player while he had the cards in his hands.
By the letter of the law, he had no choice.
He wouldn't.
Anyone could win this world cup. There's no good teams and no good players.
Might be good thing in a sense, hence this week's drama. But it's not borne out of quality.

Key stats (provided by ESPN Stats & Information)
Xherdan Shaqiri scored his fifth World Cup goal, second-most for Switzerland behind Josef "Sepp" Hügi, who has scored six.
Xherdan Shaqiri: First Swiss player to score at three FIFA World Cups -- he scored three goals in 2014 and once in 2018.
Three players have scored in the last three FIFA World Cups: Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Xherdan Shaqiri.

There's still some power in that cube.

Saw a tweet earlier saying that he's younger than Belgian Kevin!
Would have thought he had a few years on him.
This World Cup is so open anyone could win it. France, Portugal, Brazil, Argentina - maybe the 4 favourites - have all lost games and been unimpressive scraping wins in others. I still think France look the best but every match could be a scrap, and England have as good a chance as any it's so wide open.
It's been a great World Cup Group stage so far. Favourites getting eliminated, Good teams losing out on goal difference, qualification going down to extra time goals, take getting punished for being defensive, chaos all over. As a neutral, I'm totally loving it.
Oh and England have one of the best attacks, and who'd have thought?

He could apply some common sense. He does of course have a choice.
No he doesn't. If he wants to keep on reffing. It's a very clear FIFA regulation - remove your shirt and it's a Yellow. There's no leeway and common sense doesn't come into it (well it does but at the regulation making level - and that's FIFA for you).
It's no different in the PL of course. Straight Yellow for removing your shirt.
and that Salah hating weirdo from Cameroon scored two. The first so he's better than both Salah and Neymar now I guess
He was powered up to the max by his Albanian ancestry while playing the Serbs.
What frogfish said. He's a professional himself and he'll be thinking he wants more games this world cup.
If he doesn't give a yellow, more than likely that would be the end of his world cup too.
Blame the rule, not the ref.
He doesn’t, unfortunately.
It’s an interesting last 16, all the old big power houses are being kept apart. Quarters could be insane.
Power cube’s is a true performer for the Switz and always seem to score against the Serbs too.
Don’t know why their fans bother winding him up.
Regarding Serbia, with the teams and players they have had, seem to always perform poorly from what I can remember. How many times have they actually made it out of the post Yugoslavia days? Can’t think of many.

To be honest the losses for France and Brazil, maybe Spain, Portugal have come with much changed sides after they got their 6 points. I think like you with France looking most likely, but England's chances look very good.
As I said, he has a choice. 🙂
He would get sanctioned though, but wouldn't it be great if they could apply some contextual judgement?
Not being these automatons, like we see in so many aspects of society, rules rules, and their followers, controllers and a horde of controllers of the controllers.
Ok, I am getting off on one here, pointing at NPM practices and visions. As you were...
From a local tipster 😱
Gakpo is out. Must have caught the flu going through through Dutch squad. That's a huge loss for a side that struggles to score.
