Forgive me, as I don’t know much about “the sports”, but my understanding is that when a football team wins the World Cup, what happens next is something along the lines of absolute unparalleled national ecstasy and hoodallally, followed by joyous entries in the history books. Every team member becomes, essentially, a living god, celebrated across the land; and, most important, they never have to pay for another pint again in their lives. Everyone wants to buy a World Cup winner a pint.
The outrage and fury, then, that the Spanish women’s football team must be feeling right now — two weeks after winning the World Cup — will be unprecedented. For what should be the greatest weeks of their lives have been outright stolen by Luis Rubiales — the man who grabbed the head of the national star Jenni Hermoso and forced a kiss on her, in front of a global audience.
