Not trying to make light of the situation as both Shaqiri and Xhaka have every reason to do what they did.
But just reading some reports on the double eagle celebrations from the summer and saw that the Albanian Prime minister Edi Rama shared the pictures of their celebrations on his facebook page with the caption "Photo of the Day "
It really made me laugh that a leader of a country would do this. I don't think its wrong or anything, I find it genuinely funny he saw the opportunity of joining in at sticking two fingers up at the people that had wronged his own people and took it.
You gotta check his Instagram profile, mate
It's like one of those memes' profiles. He is an absolute fucking clown, whos is the leader of the left party here, but in fact little separates him from far right snakes - Erdogan of Turkey being the closest i can compare him to.
I am baffled by the decision not to include Shaqiri, to be honest. Not that I care because he is Albanian, as he doesn't even play for our country, but what kind of message are we sending by this? The fascist c*nts will be in fuckin delirium having gotten their way. I say this because right after the draw their c*nt of a DM/Owner/whoever was talking this up about the reception he will get if he goes there, how he would feel very small, and so on. That twat already had the fuel tanks ready, right after the draw!
It is absolute bonkers that in 21st century, in an event of this magnitude (the biggest club competition in the world), you have to leave a player home because dare you hurt the feelings of wild, fascist animals who still live 2 centuries back, and will jump at the first opportunity to cause riot.
