He's from Basel. His parents are from Kosovo.

Just read his dad and uncle were jailed in Serbia for protests.

He loves getting one over on them now, scored and done the Eagle in ‘18, and knocked them out yesterday.

Facing investigation from FIFA for wearing a Kosovan (I think) ‘hero’s’ name on a shirt after the game.

I’m starting to warm to him the big shithouse :lol:

Yeah, although the police in Kosovo in the 80s when it happened were mostly Albanians, which was one of the reasons for the surge in Serbian nationalism in the first place. Xhaka's dad was likely arrested by, tortured by and jailed by Kosovo Albanian communists, not Serbs. 

Still, the Serbs gave Albanians plenty of reasons to hate then in the 90s, so it's understandable he/the media overlook that.

I think the KLA gave a lot of Serbs a reason to hate them too. None of the ethnic nationalists of the SFRY come out of history particularly well, perhaps apart from the Slovenes? 

We've discussed this before but shelling Dubrovnik was the Ratners moment for Serbia. Oh and it helps to have your particular organisation backed by the CIA.
