NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
FIFA president Gianni Infantino has vowed to ‘support women’ amid the World Cup kiss scandal involving Luis Rubiales and Jenni Hermoso.
Spanish FA president Rubiales was pictured grabbing player Hermoso and kissing her on the lips during the country’s celebrations after beating England in the Women’s World Cup final, an incident which has been widely condemned.
Hermoso says that the kiss was not consensual and has confirmed that she will not play for Spain again until Rubiales has been sacked, while her team-mates have joined her in solidarity despite Rubiales insisting he will not resign.
The Spanish FA have urged Rubiales to stand down while he has been provisionally suspended by FIFA and it is thought that they are pushing to hand the 46-year-old a whopping 15-year ban.
