Spain are celebrating the FIFA World Cup after beating England 1-0, but the team has been through quite a bit of turbulence over the past year. A year ago, as many as 15 players stated that they would not be seen in the national team for as long as Jorge Vilda is the head coach.
After the match, Vilda thanked the media from the Spanish Football Federation, especially the chairman From Luis Rubiales the support they receive.
Rubiales himself made headlines because of the events at the World Cup gold party. He behaved questionably at the medal ceremony when he congratulated the Spanish players.
Rubiales gave each player a big hug and kissed them on the cheek, but when Jennifer Hermoso had received his medal, Rubiales grabbed the player’s face and kissed him on the mouth.
The 33-year-old star player of Pachuca, Mexico, shared his opinion on the situation in an Instagram live filmed in the team’s locker room:
– I didn’t really like it.
