This gesture didn’t shock us, but it made us laugh anyway
Competitive sports, on the other hand, are the exception rather than the rule. Most notably, however, was a moment in the 2018 World Cup when Swiss fans hurled cheese at Xherdan Shaqiri after his winning goal. The gesture didn’t shock us, but it made us laugh anyway. For centuries, cheese has been a central part of the Swiss identity, and it’s a staple of their cuisine.
Perhaps something more lighthearted will be thrown next time Switzerland nets a World Cup goal? Our hearts are racing as we eagerly await the results!
