The theme of the day: A greeting to the sultan
Two incidents at international football matches were irritating on Monday evening: Bulgarian fans showed in Sofia continued the Nazi salute and made jungle sounds in the international match against England (0: 6). Now the Minister of Sport calls for the resignation of the Bulgarian head of association.

Also ex-Bayer Xerdan Shaqiri and a teammate in the Swiss jersey celebrated a goal against Serbia with the Albanian double-headed eagle. The millionaires paid a fine of 10,000 francs. But there were also cases with less silly penalties.

Cenk Sahin, player with the Hamburgers since 2016, had declared on Instagram, he stands "on the side" of the soldiers in the war Erdogans against the Kurds. Now the club has released him. For Sahin no big problem: He returns home to Basaksehir Istanbul - the club that Erdogan is close to.
