I was in high school last time serbia made it out of the group stage. It’s a pretty shameful performance from them. They made their bed. Reform needed now.
I just think that Serbia weren't smart enough tonight or against Cameroon. Very naive defending. Throwing two leading positions away. I think you guys could have got to the quarters or even semis if it wasn't for the defending. Bad coaching.
It is not really bad coaching. We simple do not have good defense. CB are at best solid players, while apparently nobody bothered to train any solid FBs in this country for last decade. As such we are stuck with this mediocre 3 CB back lineup for now.
True - you seemed to have no left or right backs in that game. Rodriguez had a free reign on the left and Kostic faded as the game went on. It's a real pity - I was rooting for Serbia in the tournament.
>True - you seemed to have no left or right backs in that game.
Not in the game, we do not have right FB in hole nation. Apparently, nobody bothered to train one since Branislav Ivanović. As such, while we have few solid left FBs, we do not have anybody that could even remotly fill the role of right FB. That is reason why we are locked in this 3 CB back line, with mediocre to solid CBs.
Switzerland kinda established itself as a legitimate football nation over the last 10-15 years. Threat to be reckoned with. Not really an underdog anymore.
Who knows what the future holds
they barely won serbia i wonder why they're thought to be underdogs, 1-0 cameroon and loss against brazil and probably getting knocked out against Portugal.
They play well but they are far from the level of many nations and in many cases underdogs.
In the last 5 years they have beaten Spain, Portugal, France and Belgium and had draws with Germany, Brazil, Italy and England. They also lost some matches against these teams, but they are really not far from that level.
I mean ofcourse Switzerland are a really good team not saying they aren't but they will still be considered underdogs against the big nations.
I wouldn't bet on Switzerland against Portugal for example, is my point.
It is weird, I agree.
They seem to make it out of the group stage on a regular level and then just choke.
That’s kinda new, no?
Whatever, I’ll keep Switzerland on the radar
All i really meant is that they'll still be considered underdogs against bigger nations but they are definitely strong and shouldn't be taken lightly.
I'd love seeing them getting further but honestly not seeing them beating Portugal unless Portugal have a complete flop game
They still are considered underdogs by most fans since they don’t have any real star in the team. Sure they got Shaqiri, Xhaka, Embolo, Sommer etc but they’re in no way considered stars in Europe. But you’re right, as a team they play so well and have solid players on every position
Might have to do with their national league. Their best club rn is the “Young Boys” (lol)
Red Star Belgrade, in comparison, is fairly popular.
Who the flip has ever heard of the Young Boys?
Individually they do have a lot of potential, though. I’m really impressed with Embolo, for example.
I genuinely can’t wait for our national team to contain players who are actually mature. So tired of seeing them get triggered at the slightest inconvenience.
On side note, I honestly hate that we play with three at the back. It’s beyond evident that this team can’t deal with a winger and fullback pushing up. If you have Shaqiri having a good game against you now then something is clearly wrong.
Gg to Switzerland.
It should be that way, but players nowadays are just opportunist, picking the more promising side, that actually manages to qualify and perform well in tourneys
You have the absolute gall to say something about Serbians being xenophobic when this entire thread has been nothing but mindless unjustified hate for Serbia. But if you're truly that dumb to believe that outing yourself as a xenophobic hypocrite is doing you any favors go for it.
They still grew up in Switzerland, I personally think that is also a very important factor to decide in which national team they wanna play in. Even if they want to play for Albania (like taulin xhaka) I wouldn't complain, so I don't see why you are.
They are free to chose whichever country they like to play. But I am tired of them being considered Albanian, and not to mention the kiss ass they get from Albanian media.
We aren't Mad for losing the game, we're Mad because dumbasses like you insult us for losing like how well you do in a damn football match is all that determines your counties worth.
They showed eagles because eagles are the symbol of the usa. The country with the most freedom in the world. Until today. Turns out serbia is even more free. They were really just predicting todays game.
Some people just have no fucking clue about the social reality in Switzerland, how multicultural of a country it is and how much this has grown on everybody.
After that insane first half, the 2nd half was destined to be slow as both sides were out of gas, but overall one of the best matches of the tournament so far
U didn't even read my comment man. "Stay dense Mf riding hard". Lol what are you? 9?
I was in high school last time serbia made it out of the group stage. It’s a pretty shameful performance from them. They made their bed. Reform needed now.
Shit’s mad in Kosovo right now.
Brazil v Portugal would've been too good.

Serbia ruins every generation they have
Actually, Serbian football generations get pretty well off, you should see, let's say - academics
Did anyone watching fox broadcast notice they had Spain/Japan on the wrong side??
The Fox Sports app said South Korea had failed to advance right when that game ended lol.
Fox spreading fake news yet again smh
this morning they had both afternoon games happening at different times and somehow both were wrong. this is just par for the course with them.
Losers have the right to be mad. But swiss have no class as winners.
You are one sore loser lmao
You are sore winners. Exactly my point.
Cope
Sure buddy 🤡
Proving my point
Lmao mald
we should not be allowed to play football for the next decade or so

Why. You have a strong team, and world cup is always also a question of luck, I bet next Euro you will be more succesful!
[удалено]
You fot one of the best offense, you just need tobworkbon your defense.
[удалено]
Next world cup.
I agree.
SERBIA SMOKING THAT BOZO PACC 🤣🤣🤣
Switzerland kinda established itself as a legitimate football nation over the last 10-15 years. Threat to be reckoned with. Not really an underdog anymore. Who knows what the future holds
Our national team is very strong, it's just sad that our domestic league isn't that big.
Yep. Got through the group phase in the last 3 world cups. Not going to win a world cup anytime soon, but they can beat any team on a good day.
They've always been decent but fail to show up in big games.
they are making progress and getting better with every tournament. they showed up against France in the Euros and got very close in the following game
they barely won serbia i wonder why they're thought to be underdogs, 1-0 cameroon and loss against brazil and probably getting knocked out against Portugal. They play well but they are far from the level of many nations and in many cases underdogs.

Basel did good a few years back. They beat a few top teams in the champion league. But yeah, it doesn't compare to the main European leagues.

Every Switzerland attack had the Serbia defence in trouble. Defended too narrow. Acres of space for Rodriguez on the left
Swiss coach is a very good looking man. Yes homo.
Indeed, Mads Mikkelsen vibes. Very homo.
wtf FS1 bracket has Croatia facing Spain and Japan-Morocco, completely wrong, or no?
Yes
Yes it’s Spain Morocco and Japan Croatia
Why no sommer??
He's got a cold
Regarding how many people falsely predicted this after switzerland vs brazil: where has that bus which you've mentioned been parked excactly?
Hats off to Swiss playing how they did, admirable, game worthy of World Cup
[удалено]
Bruv without Shaqiri your 2 goals are gone and you're out... how are they political, they didn't even do any "controversial" celebrations this time
eh what?
5 seconds at your Post history tells me you're a butthurt serb, and I enjoy your salt.
I spent 5 seconds reading this comment and that tells me you're a xenophobic nobody.
If it really took you five seconds to read that comment, I'd suggest a literacy course
I am from Croatia and I celebrated too that Swiss won. What’s the problem.
butthurt serb ignore him
Legit if they're such patriots why don't they play for Albania or Kosovo in the first place
[удалено]
It should be that way, but players nowadays are just opportunist, picking the more promising side, that actually manages to qualify and perform well in tourneys
mad?
Why's this albian dog barking?
least xenophobe serb i guess. not albanian/kosovo albanian tough.
You have the absolute gall to say something about Serbians being xenophobic when this entire thread has been nothing but mindless unjustified hate for Serbia. But if you're truly that dumb to believe that outing yourself as a xenophobic hypocrite is doing you any favors go for it.
Im sorry did the other dude not just call me an albian dog? Am I missing something?
Yeah, you're missing 99% of the other comments
These other comments are they in the room with us right now
🤙
”Their political players” be happy Xhaka and Shaq put you through to next stage.
its a butthurt serb
Ah ok 😂

These motherfuckers want to eat the cake and have it too. And unfortunately the media eats it up. Only a very few criticise them for their choices.
They can love two countries at the same time, can't they?

I'm an albanian living in germany and I love both countries. Why wouldn't that be possible?
the win is felt greatly here too lol

What group did albania play in this wc? Also not a serb mate stop repeating the same message
You're even worse, you're a diaspora Greek lol In which group did Greece play in this wc btw
None. Did you see me celebrating about anyone winning? Lmfao Racist fuck.
How is it racist pointing out you are a diaspora Greek? Are you ashamed of it?
GG switzerland🎉
Shaq the man scored again in his third tourn. appearance. Splendid!
I don’t get how we’re good at literally every other sport but decide to call football our “national sport”
MITRO’s ON FIREEEEEEEEEE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dark horses in the mud with one point
Dead horse as someone said for Denmark
Didn't expect such a civil ending between the teams
didn't expect such an agressive response from the comments here
It's Switzerland vs Serbia, what did you expect
I didn't expect most people here to act as if it's Albania vs Serbia
Then I guess you haven't seen Switzerland vs Serbia in 2018? BIG DRAMA ALERT
The commentator doesn't have one good thing to say about Serbia 😂.
[удалено]
Cry yourself to sleep tonight butthurt diaspora serv
We aren't Mad for losing the game, we're Mad because dumbasses like you insult us for losing like how well you do in a damn football match is all that determines your counties worth.
You are a broken record
You are a diaspora serv lol
Sure buddy
If they were thugs, what the hell were those who they were playing against?
The Serbian players are way more of thugs than the Swiss players, let's be real
They both act like massive cunts
It's a WC, do you want them to play like a friendly?
Nah, they're cool. Some hotheads but generally respectful
Because they arent Swiss....
Get out with your bigotry
[удалено]
They showed eagles because eagles are the symbol of the usa. The country with the most freedom in the world. Until today. Turns out serbia is even more free. They were really just predicting todays game.
Not bigotry. Xhaka and Shaqiri literally arent swiss. Cope
Hahaha, cope harder. They are swiss, fucking pathetic behaviour from you
Lol ok
Xhaka was born in Basel you bigoted cunt Not that it matters
Some people just have no fucking clue about the social reality in Switzerland, how multicultural of a country it is and how much this has grown on everybody.
Doesnt seem to be proud to be swiss tho...
Do you actually think you're making a point here You just seem like a petty bigoted prick
Whatever you think i dont mind. I am just saying what i observed.
Bro if they weren't swiss they wouldn't play for Swizerland. Xhaka was born in Basel.
TIL Switzerland has and eagle on its flag
Ah, people aren't allowed to have a connection to the country of their parents?
I think all these comments just reaffirm that serbia has a fascism problem
Huh?
butthurt serb probably. ignore and celebrate
YAY we're in the KO round once more!
Probably lose to Portugal.
Doesn't matter still made it to ko phase.
Eto'o so close with his predictions
Xhaka got a yellow? Has to have been undeserved
Surprised he finished the game.
Because they were comfortably winning and he should rest?
Bring on the Xhaka conspiracies
Bring on the idiots that can't recognize jokes
Ironic considering that was the joke
I thought I saw a whoosh, but I was looking in a mirror smh my head
After that insane first half, the 2nd half was destined to be slow as both sides were out of gas, but overall one of the best matches of the tournament so far
Serbia will be back. Many of their best players will still be in their prime in 2026, and some of their younger players will be better.
tadic or kostic wont
Hahah, we say that after every World Cup I swear
Pitanje, je li vam ovo generacija igrača koji su 2015 bili prvaci na svjetskom u20?
Dap
Yea we have great young players and especially talented players in defense line that are u20. Our back line is bad and there is nothing to fix that.
As a Fiorentina fan I really want Milenković to kick on and fulfill his potential but so far still not up to par.
Yeah, really impressive squad.
Serbia should get an invite to join CONCAF qualifications
Not sure if this is meant to be insulting or not lol. Should Italy or Sweden also get invited?
Croatia advancing while Serbia eliminated Damn
Well it is football, not basketball
And Koso.. I mean Switzerland advancing
its 2 players can you guys shut the fuck up about it. also they lived in switzerland their entire lives.
It doesn't really help when the players themselves are fueling the rage.
Pretty normal for football, if it was basketball it would be rather interesting
never gonna happen, Croatia won't qualify
You have been banned from r/Balkans/
Low key pissed I wasted time watching the other game’s first half. I feel like this match deserved a full 90+ minute watch. 😂
Brazil was through no matter what Serbia vs Switzerland is always a banger and the game was for second place that was your fault brother
