What should have been a moment of pure jubilation for Spain as the country celebrated its first Women’s World Cup title, was overshadowed a bit by a moment that happened during the postmatch ceremony.
Spanish Football Federation president Luis Rubiales planted a cringe-worthy kiss on the lips of team captain Jenni Hermoso during the ceremony, causing outrage.
The moment was captured by televisionIn an Instagram live video from the team celebration inside the locker room, Hermoso and her teammates learned that the moment was seen on TV and shrieked while watching it back. She also said in the live video when asked about it by commenters: “Hey, but I didn’t like that!” cameras and beamed across the globe.

Does he kiss the bulls at Pamplona that way?
It looks like they are celebrating the end of World War III.
It’s soccer. What do you expect?
Well, it is Europe.
If that’s a woman, then he must be into dudes.
I honestly don’t know if it’s considered appropriate or not in Spain.
Does the lady care? I can’t really tell.
She didn’t appreciate this guy grabbing her head and planting one on her lips.
I, personally, would have slapped his face after delivering a knee to the groin.
Only my husband is allowed to kiss my lips. Disrepect my husband and I will make you pay for it.
Trust me, you don’t want him to settle the tab.
Very poorly executed if you ask me ...
that hand should have been much lower ...
a good squeeze of the glutius maximus would have been the better form.
And I notice the kissee's hand is in a hug position as opposed to pushing away.
Hard ta tell about such things from foreign countries.
But if this is the biggest of their problems.... d;^)
Lesbians don’t like to be kissed by males, even if the male transitions to female.
That’s a very estatic guy. Very emotional. Calm down people. It is called affection. If she didn’t appreciate it, tough crap, it wasn’t sexual.
SLOW NEWS DAY AT THE NEW YORK POST
LOL.
Well, in fairness, I saw this in many news sources all around the world.
JUST EXTENDS MY POINT TO MORE MEDIA. SOMEONE KISSES A PLAYER WHEN THEY WIN A BIG SOCCER MATCH. OK.
If he was kissing a male player it would be celebrated.
