Yeah, except ..... "Spain midfielder Jenni Hermoso has spoken of how uncomfortable she felt when she was kissed on the lips by Spanish football federation president Luis Rubiales after their World Cup final victory in Sydney.

As the 33-year-old veteran, who had a second-half penalty saved by Mary Earps, made her way to the podium to receive her winner’s medal from Fifa president Gianni Infantino, 45-year-old Rubiales hugged her and lifted her off her feet. There was then brief exchange of words before Rubiales put his hands around Hermoso’s back and planted a kiss on her lips."

Kissing people you don’t know on the lips will always be really really really weird to me.

Spain becomes only the second nation to have won both the men's and women's football world cups so, again, well done La Roja.

That’s so weird too! Cheeks or foreheads only!

This was not an everyday social occasion. Winners of the world cup can get emotional.

Rubiales greeted Hermoso on the podium by grabbing her head in his hands and kissing her on the lips, although he responded to the criticism by saying those who condemned his actions are "idiots."

"It was the emotion of the moment," Hermoso told Cadena COPE on Sunday. "There's nothing else there. It's no big deal."

"It was a mutual, totally spontaneous gesture because of the huge joy of winning a World Cup," she later told the news agency EFE. " (ESPN)

So because you get emotional you kiss a stranger on the lips?

Ew.

Rubiales wasn't the one who was meant to be emotional and celebrating. In fact, the entire Spanish FA and team structure have behaved rottenly towards their women players. They really should be fully shamed out, not celebrating.

Definitely a great win for women everywhere.

Apart from the black ones.

[perrykneeham]

And the ones with penises.

Paralluelo wants a word.

Yeah one. She's hot though.

[bertruss2]

Rubiales has decided he made a mistake by forgetting to act more presidentially and less spontaneously and he's changed his tune.

At first, he said

Rubiales told Spanish broadcaster COPE it was "a kiss between two friends celebrating something" and those who saw it differently were "idiots and stupid people".
"Let's ignore them and enjoy the good things," he added, before offering a different view on Monday.

Now, he says

On Monday, Rubiales said: "I was completely wrong, I have to admit it."
He added: "It was without bad intention at a time with a lot of excitement. In the moment, we saw it as natural, but outside a commotion has formed.
"I have to apologise, learn from this, and understand that when you are president you have to be more careful."

“When you are president”….


So clearly hasn’t learned anything.

You are bizarre (and perving on teenagers.)

[mids]

So you're saying she isn't hot?

[bertruss2]

So clearly hasn’t learned anything.

Where is this non-sequitur leading you? To the conclusion that because he accepts he has to consider public opinion as president of the Spanish FA, he can do what he likes when he's not president? Well, did he, and why would he?

[flatandy]

Rubiales also appears to have a pending trial for assault on a woman in 2017. You think he'd at least try a little bit under the circumstances.

All the evidence suggests that he's a horrible little man who really shouldn't be even adjacent to womens football, let alone trying to take any credit and joy from the success.

[bertruss2]

All the evidence suggests ...

That you've just found out about the existence of Luis Rubiales and are fond of the expression "horrible little man".
