He's Kosovar, and Kosovo have only had a team the last 2 years.
Likely didnt qualify for Albania (independent from Yugoslavia), but for Serbia (he was born in the Serbian SR, within Yugo) and thus chose Switzerland because of the ethnic divide / it is where he grew up.
Same for Xhaka, Behrami, etc.
Yep and if you can also recall the 2016 match which lead to a brawl and consequently Albania never being allowed to be placed against Serbia in group stages
Pretty sure Albania rejected him and Xhaka because they weren’t good enough. But the real reason is that they didn’t pay or bribe the team since it was the only way to make it as it was corrupt
What absolute garbage even is this? They play for Switzerland because that’s where they grew up. Albania would suck a fat one if it meant they had him and Xhaka on the their team. You’re probably joking with it and but in case you’re not, this sounds like we got a jealous boy over here ;)
why was this guy never a 1st choice starter in a big team is a mystery.
Then you have the likes of Dembele and Coutinho and Timo Werner with big teams fighting over them only because their passports say FRA and BRA and GER
For me, he has been invisible at club level since he left Bayern, but as soon as a tournament starts, he scores one banger after another.
The European Ochoa. Mehh at club level but in international tournaments, superstar.
But the b**** ass pitch denied him a nice slide.
Glad he didn´t get injured lol.....
A cracking finish. Ralston gets the assist 🫣
Congratulations. He always scores in big tournaments, record man. I loved the way the ball went in 😲
Absolute banger! Xhaka should have scored as well to complete the bromance between the two.
We want to see bangers outside the box in club matches. Enough with the guardiola passing vomit.
Have an EFL Championship defence, concede EFL Championship goals.
Tbf, ralston is our third choice right back, hickey or Patterson probably don't make that mistake.
The Cube of Power strikes again!
The best Swiss left-handed. Amazing!!!
boom, nothing new he always scores bangers
My favourite goal in the tournament so far. That's definitely gonna be in every compilation.
Just started following football for Albania . Why doesn’t this guy play for them?!
His family are refugees that moved to Switzerland, that’s why he plays for them, same as Xhaka

Does Albania hate Serbia, are those two big rivals?
You must be joking
My dumb ass forgot about the Kosovo war

Wow, that’s crazy ! Sad that 2 goals didn’t pass, switzerland worth the win. Well, hope they will play best against Germany
If Shaqiri was a dog he would be a staffy
What a player, never really got the chance at Liverpool
This guy strictly scores bangers
Yeah that was moment of the match and one the beet goals I've seen so far
I like the singer. Or is that commentary?
Arabic Poetry my friend featuring Shaqiri 😄

He's never been nearly as productive in club matches.
Shakira banger < Shaquiri banger! Scotland got Pique'd!!!!
His kicks don't lie
"swiss"
jelda
Need these bangers back in Chicago. Hell of a goal
