  1. In my day!
    Lauren James would have been the biggest culprit of the Tournament! Not only because of her negative physical stamping, but because the Ads kept rolling , she kept getting paid and was allowed into the team on such an occasion for her bad behaviour? This was deemed okay because it was troublesome to tackle?
    The people who taught me sport deemed fair play above all and would, with some regret have been glad that England didn't win, seeing that she had been chosen!
    As for kisses, i have seen many women powering down on colleagues and female coaches to give them a peck! The manager in question should be talked to but left alone thereafter!? A couple of well placed Mediterranean kisses on the cheek would have been surfice.
    Don't forget a Manager's job pays very well!

  2. The press need heros and villains to parasite on, thats how they get attention. But really, this purile behaviour of elevating the inconsequential into a frenzied news story demonstrates the sickness in our societies.

  3. Well if she says that things such as "euphoric kiss at the spur of the moment" isn't something that should ever happen and thus deserves this much attention- she should as well make a case fr her teammate who stomped on the Nigerian player- if such wasn't a "question of emotion" which Lauren james and the English team called it out to be and a 2 match ban was given to her.

    Nobody blew this out of proportion and called it some sought of 'colonial subjugation' or spin it into some 'supremacist agenda' or asked her to be expelled from the national team because of it..

    Because if we're been honest that was more 'thought out and inhumane' than what rubiels did. Buh yeah, her teammate can conveniently say "it's the end of football"😂

  4. Her body language says it all, her right arm is inside his arm as if to push him off, she did not reciprocate by caressing the back of his head.

  5. It's been tarnished by the furore of it. Otherwise it's just an excuse for usual SJWs to get outraged by something. He shouldn't have done it. He's apologised. For goodness' sake get on with your life.

  6. 4:12 Of course gender matters. Certainly matters to predators. Show me one picture of him kissing a male player on the lips,, and in such a domineering way. He literally has a hold of both sides of her head and just forces a kiss on the lips onto her. Hell, if that's not abusive, dont know what is.

  7. To be fair I'm glad we lost, if it means I don't have to listen to asinine comparisons to the mens game about how the women "brought it home" and now they should be paid the same as the men for winning a far easier and less developed competition, I may start losing faith in the intelligence of the general population.
