At the world cup? Preposterous!
Rubiales has certainly a lot to say about the rfef leaders, otherwise they wouldn't stand behind him like they do.
Vilda (the team manager) is despised by the players, who have been trying to get him ousted. Rubiales is responsible for his still being in post. I would guess most of them are extremely reliant on his patronage. He wasn't even that good a footballer in his day. It's just a boys club where he uses RFEF money to throw orgies and they like beng protected from any fallout from their ridiculous machismo, I guess.
But the RFEF are starting to turn on him, at regional level at least: Luis Rubiales: Regional Spanish FA bosses call on president to resign over kiss.
Awful for Hermoso but ultimately good for Spanish football, I think. It's gone beyond ridiculous and the inevitable fall will be glorious.
Maybe they have similar, entitled, macho opinions.
That website's cookies settings are awful - anyone got a link to the video itself?
It's a Twitter link in the article. Hence not linking to it direct.
Ah ok, thanks.
This just puts me into a captcha loop ... Am I a robot?
As if the original viral footage wasn't enough, but glad there are more angles to remove all doubt.
Pretty insane that his mother is literally willing to die for "justice" when it's dead obvious he initiated everything. Some people are blind to the truth when it involves family.
