Spain’s Women’s World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda on Saturday criticized the “inappropriate” behavior of the country’s soccer chief Luis Rubiales.
Spain’s Women’s World Cup-winning coach Jorge Vilda on Saturday has criticized the “inappropriate” behavior of suspended football federation president Luis Rubiales, whose forced kiss to player Jennifer Hermoso at the World Cup final last Sunday caused a wave of indignation in world football.
In the US, the Houston Dash displayed a banner reading “Contigo Jenni,” which translates to “With you, Jenni,” and wore white wristbands with the same message written on it during their National Women’s Soccer League game. Players from the KS Current, Orlando Pride and San Diego Wave – including Alex Morgan – wore similar wristbands. It was a visual representation of the global solidarity which has marked women’s soccer this week.
