Euro 2024

His own fault. Especially because he knew Uefa gonna punish him after Daku got also banned for 2 games. I hope it was worth it to exchange this proud moment for a quater final and possible semis.

I commented on that yesterday.

People wondering why Shaqiri wasn't suspended for the eagle celebration vs. Serbia, but Demiral showing Grey Wolves against irrelevant Austria - Shaqiri did it before cancel culture.

Guess this Demiral dude wasn't looking brown/black enough so they took him for white supremacist.
Meanwhile guys like him are raping and pillaging Germany no problem. None of them even get deported and most of them get slap on the fingers by so called law enforcement. Such an upstanding and moral empire of goodness.

Demiral showing grey wolves has to be proven first to be honest.This hand gesture is pretty old and can simply represent a wolf, one of turkey’s symbols(and other central Asian countries alike) like Germany has the eagle and France the hen.

shaqiri and xhaka did directly to provoke serbian fans.

Having said that, I do understand ban and was dumb by demiral regardless. Just hope to see fifa/uefa be consistent in their enactment.

I think German government pressured fifa/uefa into this. Might have gotten off with hefty fine as well otherwise

2-game ban btw

Yeah, and they also need to prove the straight right arm in the air is a nazi salute and not just showing directions.

Have never ever seen that gesture made aside from being the nazi salute tbf.

Have seen wolf gesture not meaning to represent gray wolf

But fair enough. Dumb to do regardless

Germany didn't ban the wolf gesture, contrary to other states. The grey wolfs are just under observation.

 

[Djoker]

Why didn’t xhaka and shaqiri get banned when they signaled nationalistic albanian symbol to serbians to provoke?

This incident was much worse than what Demiral did.

Back for the final then.

 

[Andresito]

Think it's harsh though. A fine would've been sufficient like Bellingham got.

 

[Porque]

Should have celebrated by giving his team mate a blowjob. They would have praised him.

The problem is if you start allowing political gestures, it'll never stop and it becomes a political shitshow real fast. The punishment has probably also something to do with Demiral being proud of it instead of giving an apology.
But he'll be Turkey's national hero for it, Erdogan personally gonna sit him on the throne for the next couple of weeks. So he'll get over it.
