The Lions danced to the Swiss national anthem at the World Championship gold celebration - the rage ignited!

Towards the end of the celebrations, when the Lions were on stage, a song by the Swiss band Stubete Gäng was played from the speakers. This song serves as the goal song for the Swiss national ice hockey team. Switzerland lost to Finland 0–1 in the World Championship final.

A video of the situation was published on the Instagram account named hockey.worldwide, and the video has since spread widely online. The post has received a lot of attention and also criticism.

In the comments section, some viewers found the choice disrespectful:

– That is just disrespectful, bro, one user wrote.

– How disrespectful can you be? Another commented.

– The difference between Switzerland and the Finns… We stayed at the stadium and showed respect, and they? Greatness shows in defeat, a German-speaking commenter lamented.

– The Finnish team is now officially dead to me, this level of disrespect is something I have never seen, one commenter stated.

– I have never seen such a toxic winning team – no respect at all, another wrote.

The Swiss goal song was already discussed on Monday morning in the Radio Suomipop show Aamulypsy, where the Lions players were involved in the broadcast. The players hoped that the Swiss goal song would be played on the radio since it was not heard at all during the final.

Finland also has previous traditions of playing songs related to opponents during celebration moments. A well-known example is after the 1995 World Championship gold, when the Finnish audience adopted the song “Den glider in” made for the Swedish national team, which is still popular in ice hockey circles in Finland.

Finland celebrated its fifth ice hockey world championship on Monday in a spectacular event in front of the Helsinki Olympic Stadium. Several songs were played on stage during the festivities, but one music choice has drawn particular international attention afterward.
