  1. Oh please this is just too.much,

  2. No more shaking hands with women. Everyone bow like Asians. No hugs either. Thanks Feminists.

  3. If hermoso herself had kissed Rubiales it wouldn’t have been an issue, what a world ?

  4. GUESS THE VIDEO ON E BUS SAYS OTHER WISE.

  5. Ŵhat dose it take to get rid shut. He is a peace shot Spain no balls no guts

  6. It was in the heat of the moment and maybe inappropriate but ffs get a grip , she grabbed him and lifted him off the floor first.

  7. I guess I just have one question for the people defending the kiss. It’s easy enough to defend it being planted on another person…

    What would your feelings be if Rubiales had kissed YOU on the mouth?

    If you’re honest with the world, then you are fine with advances like that for yourself as well, which I can totally get behind. But if you wouldn’t be okay with that happening to you, why even argue it’s okay for another person?

  8. right up there with Bucha.

  9. welcome to 2023 and the stupidity of humans. it was just a kiss

  10. The country is falling apart and a kiss is more important. No wonder Spain is becoming such a poor country again!

  11. like an emperor choosing a concubine for the night

  12. Only if it were the other way round, the world would have looked the other side

  13. In my opinion, this was a kiss of congratulations!

  14. Don’t euros kiss each other all the time?

  15. Vive Rudiales ! To H_LL with All that is Booting Him Out For a Kiss of Joy. A picture on the internet now surfaces That the B Hermoso was showing her Teammates , smiling from ear to ear! Her Picture w Rudiales

  16. Mason greenwood when this guy keeps his job: 🥹🤑

  17. I AM OLD … FOR ME HE HAS A HIGHLY PRIMITIVE PERSONALITY … IT IS A SHAME TO HAVE SUCH PEOPLE IN TOP JOBS … REGRET … AND CORRECT …

  18. Before touching a woman get three witnesses to sign a form she said it was okay. Good grief 🙄

  19. It's a celebratory kiss, fast, in the moment, a 'welldone'. No need to sack a man for thanking his player. Although the next time this man celebrates, he'll think twice before kissing anyone.

  20. This is a non story

  21. I totally disagree. He was happy for the moment and didn't grab her butt, groped her. Didn't want to enjoy the moment don't walk up to him.

  22. Look at his asskissers clapping

  23. Seems womens football has turned into a media show for social and political agendas rather than football 😂 who would have ever thought 😂

  24. He's from Spain 🤔🤔 they kiss

  25. For all the kids with Grandmas our there I would just like to say, "No means no!" and hashtag me too! 💋☠️

  26. Glad he didn't goose her.

  27. Crazy kiss.For man over 25 years old.

  28. Stupid. Shuda been handled in house.

  29. But the President of the USA sniffs little girls. How’s this a big deal?

  30. Braking news of banana peel after some one eat banana

  31. I could it as him looking at his players in some father/daughter type relationship, nothing more. I think a fair warning is enough to know next time around.

  32. Too many woke f*ckin' people on this planet. I can't wait until World War III starts. Humans need a long overdue reset.

  33. If he had done that to me, I would have slapped him before the world. Even a peck on the lips has the potential to spread disease. No-one should take that liberty without consent.

    But it seems that men feel entitled to women's bodies still.

  34. Hang on !!! If his kiss was inappropriate then EVERYONE that kissed or embraced any of the winning team members WITHOUT their explicit consent were acting inappropriately !!!! At no time did ANY of them give consent to any physical touching of any kind !!!

    This is the insanity of the “ me too “ movement and feminist logic . If any of that conduct was inappropriate then ALL OF it was but nobody else is being targeted for dismissal including all the women kissing and embracing the winning team .

    It’s just hypocrisy.

  35. Ha Ha Ha, if he kissed a guy then news media would have come to his aid, funny how the world has changed.
