[The Colonel enters]”This has all gotten silly!”
WWC23 | England v Spain - Spain win the World Cup - and Rubiales gets sacked
- Thread starter jojojo
- Start date
Ha! exactly!
Whatever part necessary for them to soldier on. It's just the normal Figgins routine, every single topic.
Luis Rubiales dimitirá mañana tras ser abandonado por todos por su polémico beso a Jenni Hermoso

Do you know what that means?
The cultural part you say is true. Lots of kissing and hugging to say hello and goodbye and maybe on another level it could be seen as just a spontaneous act of happiness, but he is the ultimate representative of football in the country.
Besides, he wouldn't dare kiss the queen or the infanta in the VIP box.
In other words, he used his position of power.
If such liberties are allowed to be overlooked at a trophy ceremony, imagine the liberties he can take in private. Maybe insignificant and funny for some, but definitely uncomfortable for the girls.
Well explained, thanks.
How wrong can you actually get? This is presumably coming from an Oirland fan.
:/
I watched the match. In that match Spain played like, well a Spanish team. England tried a lot of direct, and less passing. What’s wrong about that?
Some may say it casts a cloud over the feat of the Spanish world champions, but I see it differently: Not only have the players made Spain a world champion, but to add to that, they are managing to force overdue changes into the boys club that run them, and they bring the conditions they’ve silently had to live with into the open, to great effect. They are winning several games at once here.
What a creep.
Can't wait for Infantino to claim some of the credit for [all successes and consequences pending]
Thank you for confirming what others have denied.
It's not what I say, it's the model that says, I merely asked the question using the model. It's not just the kiss he's been criticised for, he certainly wasn't the only one engaged in other actions. While i agree he holds/held a position, I wasn't referring to his position, and we've no idea what he'd do in other circumstance. I would agree that how he might act towards the queen could be culturally different than someone who is not the a queen. I'm not sure it is just about power.
We've no idea what happens in private, i'm not sure speculation is helpful.

Sadly, your post demonstrates a lack of understanding and is just blamantly false. I questioned huge, they haven't defined it. If anything, there are strategic voices, political voices and LGBT/womens voices. Can you tell me their proportionality relative to the population?
An even more monumental bellend than John Delaney
I'm surprised we don't have a legion of bellends claiming he's innocent until proven guilty in court.
women? 50% of the population.
It just doesn't look right does it.
Not entirely surprised. Villar the previous president also resisted for years.
He will look for some trick to continue
Seems like a nice humble person
Spanish FA HQ:
Spanish players should just refuse to play the next game and he is gone tomorrow.
Well, haven't like 60% squad already refused to play?
I bet he was being barricaded out of women's changings rooms post win, was probably trying to get in the bath with them ffs.
Several players last year sent each an email to complain about the coach working methods and the environment, the federation made a public row of it with the aforementioned Rubiales voicing a hard line. Following that 15 players made themselves unavailable for the NT. I believe a couple had been reintegrated since (after apologies ? I'm unsure.)
Yeah, so I doubt striking players will do much.
I think after winning a world cup and all the skeletons in the closet became international news, the die is already cast.
Actually he just confirmed your initial idea is absolutely wrong. None of this is culturally acceptable, hence the backlash.
What a strange hill to die on...
Obviously all players have to participate in the strike including the men's team, so they have to cancel the games. I'm pretty sure the pressure would be big enough for him to resign.
You're welcome to an opinion; I raised the question about country level culture not corporate culture. I'm aware people get confused between the two, they are distinctly different.
Borja leaves the national team "until things change and such acts do not go unpunished."
Again he didn't; what he pointed out was country level culture there is a case for hugging and kissing etc. Then he moved to corproate culture which is a different lens..
I can see why you think jordan peterson is a smart guy who should be respected.
You seem to fail to understand very basic stuff and try to hide by using expressions hard to define or that have no meaning at all.
Rubiales takes being a bellend to monumental new heights. What a toxic, entitled POS that man is.
Is the lgbt/women lobby pressuring him to do this? What a traitor to his culture...
Stop. You aren't helping yourself.
Monty Python helps, as does Matt Berry. ha
It's not me who has said JP is smart, he's recognised by academic peers.
Basis stuff? I'm not hiding behind anything, I've posed a question, I'll understand if you cannot navigate the question.
You have your view, i have mine.
