Football Daily | Luis Rubiales and a toxic tale of when double-doubling down goes wrong

Gambar
Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! It’s been quite the weekend for Luis Rubiales. On Friday, the man’s man of Spanish football admin stood up on the stage at RFEF HQ and gave a masterclass in how to look like a colossal whopper. With the world expecting him to do one, the Spanish FA’s top, top pen-pusher doubled down on his belief that his kiss on the lips of Jenni Hermoso in front of a global audience in the World Cup trophy ceremony was entirely normal behaviour and repeated five times that he wasn’t going to resign. He claimed Hermoso called him “an ace” and initiated the embrace – “she was the one who lifted me up, who brought me close to her body” – and that the kiss was consensual, despite Hermoso saying the exact opposite. Later, on the radio, he double-doubled down on his egotistical claims, denouncing those who doubted him as “d1ckheads” and “dumb@sses”. Great to see The Wonder Stuff at Walsall in Friday’s Memory Lane (full email edition). What a fantastic d...

When you have been carrying a team’s attack for as long as the Portuguese has, anything else feels light by comparison. Leão has been Milan’s top scorer and assist-provider in Serie A for two seasons running – though he did share the first of those titles with Olivier Giroud in 2021-22 – a blessing and a curse for his team. He seemed to win games on his own at times, but the Rossoneri also became predictable, forcing play through him. When injury forced Leão to miss the Champions League semi-final first leg against Inter, there was no one else able to provide a spark. Continue reading...
