Clement Turpin - vs

Oh boy, either the Netherlands or Turkey is going to have to play the semi-final with three goalkeepers on the field given Turpin's love for pulling cards out of his pocket left and right  

[heywoodu 15,355]

Meanwhile, Turkey will have to play without Demiral against the Netherlands and, if they win, in the semi's. He has been suspended due to some ultranationalist and terrorist-related gesture in their match against Austria. I guess he didn't want to play anymore this tournament, because obviously he knew this would result in trouble

I predict some Turkish "fans" will burn a few cars and other stuff now. Anyway, this is what you get when you promote politics in football. Obviously BBC and other media didn't realize promoting politics in sports doesn't only mean promoting liberal democracy. Qatar quashed the narrative with heavy pro-Palestine campaign in 2022 and forced the liberal media to sit on their hands since suddenly they realized queer campaign wasn't the only one that had to be accepted. Welcome to the real world

 

Germany is lucky Mesut Ozil has retired already or his Edrogan fanboyism and the grey wolf tattoo would really cause havoc. And now UEFA can pretend he never existed

People in the big cities here are not exaggerating or wrong when they say they are slightly worried about Saturday night, and this is the reason for that  

 

Genuinely happy with living in a relatively small town, plenty of bigger places are simply not at all going to be nice Saturday.

Did Mbappe, Thuram, etc. receive any kind of punishment for campaigning against a political party or press conferences are exempt from this?

I think actions on the field of play has different implications and sanctions as opposed to press conference & interviews.

All we need is Turkish ultranationalism... Not that we dont have terrible crisis all over the world, Otomanic revival to top it all.

Merih suspended for two games, I do not support what he did but I cannot see how this is fair. 
 

Shakiri and Xhaka made a similar gesture in 2018, all they got was monetary fine.

 

I believe these kind of penalties make things bigger than necessarry, this thing was going to blow over, but now it will become a Turkish ultranationalistic propaganda, and unfortunately they will be right saying this is one-sided and not fair

[bestmen 2,833]

he did this gesture pro extrem right  the first time i see it , so what and why 

 

[hckošice 15,128]

what kind of complete insanity is this punishment ? He got a punishment for 1 match, but somehow he does not have to serve it immediately, but only within a year whenever he wish Now, Only now, I think I really saw it all

 

 

🚨 UEFA confirm Jude Bellingham has been given a suspended one-match ban after his celebration.

❗️ Bellingham’s suspension is valid for a year so he will be able to play against Switzerland.

He’s also been fined for €30k. pic.twitter.com/hQIefJlHYK
