Well, what a game that was. A couple of thoughts. Serbia were brilliant for 60 minutes. Switzerland much better in the second half but still made chances even when playing badly. But everyone will remember the eagle hand gesture.
In case you don't know, it isn't just a Kosovo thing. All ethnic Albanians make that sign as sign of pride, whether in Albania, Kosovo, Macedonia or in the wider diaspora.
It will be scene as extremely provocative by Serbs, who will wonder why they have been under the microscope for chants and flags and yet two players can make this gesture in a game. Albanians will argue that it is cultural, rather than political.
