… AND SERBIA COACH TOO

-

THE world football’s governing body said it was also probing Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic for alleged statements made after the game. Krstajic reacted to the defeat by calling for the match referee, Felix Brych of Germany, to be put on trial in a war crimes tribunal in the Hague for failing to award Serbia a penalty. Serbia were furious when Brych failed to award a spot-kick in the 66th minute after Aleksandar Mitrovic was wrestled to the ground in the penalty area by Swiss defenders Stephan Lichtstein­er and Fabian Schaer. “We were robbed,” Mladen Krstajic told Serbian reports on Saturday, when asked about Brych’s decision. “I wouldn’t give him either a yellow or red card, I would send him to the Hague. Then they could put him on trial, like they did to us.”
