Kosovo sanctioned after the match was stopped: UEFA awards victory to Romania

Quote from Smarty

Well, it’s not a big surprise that the points go to Romania.
Anything else would have been completely incomprehensible.

Yeah, you can be racist in the stadium now…the copycats will think wink

Normally this should be a heavier sanction for Romania, but that doesn’t matter now. I don’t want to have a pointless discussion right now because my opinion isn’t going to change anyway. The Kosovo national team has clearly been racially insulted here, and if they are not punished more clearly, there will be imitators in the future. FIFA constantly says things like “say no to racism” etc. It was clear they weren’t going to stick to it, it’s just a joke.
And for you to understand it even better, because you apparently didn’t do any research: this was the SECOND time that Romania attracted this kind of attention during a match against Kosovo. In Prishtina, capital of the sovereign and independent Republic of Kosovo, Romanian players have always been well received. But as soon as the Kosovo national team plays in Bucharest, incidents of racism arise. It just sucks. You are a repeat offender. In September last year it was exactly the same and now again. It’s just boring now. It spoils the fun of (Site notre bureau spécialisé) when you play outside some countries and you always get a bad reception.
