oh come on, it was on the cheek, maybe too longer than it should be, but still just a friendly cheeky kiss. People are so purist nowadays :p

but, if he would do that to my niece, I would kill him :p

 

 

Don't think that was the kiss that was the issue as it happened before she had picked up the trophy.

 

The team were congratulated by the Queen and then moved on to Rubiales - who it has to be said, was very "affectionate" with all the squad - but Hermoso was the only one who ended up with his hands on the back of her head and pulled in for full-on lip smacker.

Because that worked out so well for Spanish players last time :wacko:

This news story doesn't seem to be dying down any time soon - Spanish government have started legal proceedings to suspend Rubiales.

I don't understand the outrage. Do we know that the player didn't want it/have a problem with it? Why do people feel the need to feel insulted on behalf of others? If she has a problem with it, she should express it/speak out herself.

Yes, we know, because she released a statement to that effect.

81 players have so far announced they will not play for the national team whilst Rubiales remains in post - they're quite a militant lot these Spanish footballers :lol:

This includes every player who played at the World Cup.

 

Everyone here who dismissed this as a minor issue or as being overblown really needs to do some serious soul searching imo.

Spanish coaching staff have resigned en-mass and Rubiales has been suspended by FIFA. In response, Spanish FA are threatening legal action against Hermoso. :facepalm:Has nobody told them that when you find yourself in a hole, you stop digging?

Kissing anyone without consent should be penalised. Rubiales should take full responsabillity and appologise. 

I mean, i know that Spaniards are full of emotions but celebrating by kissing a player in the mouth??? Disgusting :sick:

    • Congrats Diggins, well deserved! 👏   Too bad she fell on the last lap in the last race (as well as Karlsson also did x2).   For the future I would really like them to remove the bonus sprint points suring the race that almost makes more importance to the overall standings than the positions over the finish line. And get back to the same point system as the other FIS events. 30 gets points instead on 50, and 100-80-60... instead of this system. in this case Diggins deserves it and Sweden who of different reasons have missed pets of the season On purpose or not, does not deserve it. But it as it is now it may take 20 wins to catch up for one missed race (if the opponent is 2nd in each). Dahlqvist won the sprint cup without any individual wins (3rd overall) is one example of that.    There must be room to miss a race of any reason. If not, it Will not make people race more events, instead it might make skoters who already missed one weekend feel they are already too far behind so they light as well take less priority on the rest of the World cup season. Also skiiers who in Norway for example would be good enough for a top3 in the overall might not even be selected for many races due to the internal competition. Same for a skiier like Ebba Andersson who most likely would not qualify if she would be selected to go a sprint race. But she would still get a few points probably for rk 31-50, but because she would not make it in to the Swedish sprint team she Will lose a lot even compared to those who fail the sprint qualifications. Frida Karlsson another example, she would also probably have qualified most of the times but is most often not good enough to make the team. With more award to winning and making podiums and also less athletes scoring that would make it better I think. The scoring system in biathlon got some critics when they decided you have to count all races, but they at least increased the value of top positions meaning you could faster catch up a bad race/missed race, by a few podiums.
    • Great to see O’Connor on the podium again! Thats 4 major medals in the past 12 months (World Indoors x 2, Euro Indoors and World Championships).   Her strongest event is the javelin so she is going to continue to be a huge threat in the heptathlon this summer and she is still improving all the other events. Exciting times for her  
    • Congrats to Diggins winning the WC in her final season 
    • Call me mad, but it feels very strange to have made it all the way through a major championships without hearing how the results were going to lead to a slashing of funding for  sport.  
    • Only Fabbri from Italy has disappointed and that's a bit concerning... In 3 of the last 4 major events (OG and 2x Indoor World Champ), he's performed significantly worse than he did on the entire season – he took bronze at the 2025 World Championships, but his result was also nothing special. His performance today is completely incomprehensible  (
