In the decisive match, the Eagles were defeated by Switzerland with a score of 3:2 and thus repeated the scenario from four years ago in Russia.
3 - Dusan Vlahovic is the third player to have scored on his debut as a starter in the World Cup for Serbia, after Sasa Ilic and Nikola Zigic in 2006. Unlocked.#SERSWI#FIFAWorldCuppic.twitter.com/yOOCQyMaRe
It was not without incidents in the stands and on the field
11 – There were 11 yellow cards shown in the match between Serbia and Switzerland (Serbia 7, Switzerland 4), the most in a #FIFAWorldCup match since the 2010 final between Spain and the Netherlands (12 in 120 minutes). Feisty. #SRBSUIpic.twitter.com/kb85MtJUJo
"I want to congratulate Switzerland on the well-deserved victory. For sure we are not satisfied with the result, which is normal. For sure, all the problems we had here, taking into account the physical preparation, player injuries to be more precise... We made every effort to bring them back to be in the service of the team, but it seems to be too much of a problem for us. The boys fought, they gave their maximum. For this level of competition, it is not enough. There are valid reasons why it is so and I can't ask for more from them."
"We had to be much smarter and more experienced. To know what needs to be done at that moment. We allowed Switzerland to come back. We had a qualifying cycle that was perfect, we beat Portugal and deservedly found ourselves in Qatar. There is a time of success, when people praise you, but there are also moments when you fail. This is what it is, but I have nothing against the players. They fought as much as they could, but that is not enough at this level of football. We are happy to be among the 32 teams. Imagine a great Germany that finished the competition. You have a lot of great teams that you couldn't believe would not pass the group. In this state of health, I can congratulate the players."
"We are starting preparations for the European Championship and we move on. This is a competition we haven't been to in 24 years. Of course, I will be happier if the players are healthy."
That’s why they jeered Shaqiri and Xhaka when they play for Switzerland and banned Dual Lipa,Bebe Rexha and Rita Ora songs in Serbia.
Sooner Serbs grow up better for them…but we have to wait for a long time for them to grow up and behave like adults.

They jeered those Albanian players because they ran around making political statements at the last world cup. Hey, if you want to make political statements, play for Kosovo or Albania not Switzerland.
You are correct, Serbia needs work on both Midfield and Defensive backs. They also need to give more chances to players within Serbia not the prima dona's from Europe who don't put out their best for the national team.
Look at Croatia, they play as a team, Serbia does not. I would not say Croatia is much more talented then Serbia other than the midfield with Kovacevic, Modric and Brozovic.

Xhaka needs to calm down and learn an important lesson. Since silence means complicity, to Iskander the tough task to teach a lesson to Xhaka, Shaqiri, to Ilir Meta who congratulated Xhaka and to all albos. 1) Xhaka you're a sportsman, nobody I mean nobody, has assigned you the task to 'protect' or even worse 'promote' albos' interests in the world. You're not qualified, simple as that. Be humble and know your place, 1st lesson of civilization. 2) If you think that you are making us proud of you, you're wrong. I personally am ashamed to be associated with you. You have just one mission: incite hatred between albs and serbs. Albos don't benefit from this hatred, no idea if serbs bebefit or not. 3) You were born in Switzerland and you play for Switzerland's flag. If u love Kosovaaaa more go play for Kosovo or Albania dude.

Serbian team against Xhaka's Switzerland was 100% focused on Serbian national chauvinist behavior and history as Serbian players in many occasions during the match physically assaulted the Swiss captain who has Albanian background and Serbian fans throughout the game sang very nationalistic songs used during Serbian genocides in Bosnia and Kosovo and chanted extremely offensive slogans against Albanians and not to forget the first Serbian match in Qatar when Serbian team displayed a genocidal map of Kosovo in their dressing room...
What else should Serbs do to be stopped by FIFA behaving like that, bombing entire opposite team or what !?

Serbia had a good team but had a major problem in defensive/midfield line.
Serbia conceded 8 goals in 3 games which is almost 3 goals per game…a lot for a World Cup competition.
As for Shaqiri and Xhaka they are very good players which somehow Serbs are obsessed with, just because they came from Kosovo.
I know Serbs consider Albanians in Kosovo as inferior humans and people like Shaqiri,Xhaka,Dua Lipa,Rita Ora or Bebe Rexha doesn’t fit their narrative of their superiority.
That’s why they jeered Shaqiri and Xhaka when they play for Switzerland and banned Dual Lipa,Bebe Rexha and Rita Ora songs in Serbia.

I think most people who understand the game knew that our defense was at best mediocre. with this said, you need to press offensively to offset the poor defense and score goals. I didn't understand why the coach didn't play the same lineup that got him to the World Cup. I understand there were some injury issues, but this is a once in a lifetime endeavor for some of the players. I think he should have stayed with what got him there. The first two games he played players that were mostly defensive in ability, and I think this cost them when everything was said and done. Regardless, I'm very disappointed with them, they had the talent to potentially go deep in this tournament, but as they say, next time....

This manager,Dragan Stojkovic,is a gentleman and a football scholar.What more could we possibly wish for when we have such a fantastic team of players. We were just unlucky with last minute injuries.It would be a travesty if there were any talk of replacing Piksi now.We are capable of doing very well in Euro 2024 so let's give them all our support.We are proud of you boys.

Last lesson: choose decent men to be your heroes. Adem Jashari was not a hero. Wasn't even a decent man, because a real MAN dies fighting till the end alone, or alongside brothers in arm, but before that sends out women and children, saves their lives, if the eneny offers me that opportunity. And serbs offered that opportunity to Jashari. Jashari was a terrorist, lived as a terrorist and died as a terrorist. Only Jashari and ISIS scumbags keep women and children hostages to die with them. Sad day for albos the day Jashari is considered a hero. And now, for real, you, all of you, can consider me a serb or a russian. I have nothing to share with you. We for real belong to two different civilization. So long, Albania. Has been fun, lots of good people like in any country. But you need to seriously clean up your house.
