Spain ends up winning the cup and then Ruby Alice afterwards,
00:07
apparently goes over to one of the women who was on the team and
00:11
ends up kissing them.
00:13
This is basically the kiss scene around the world,
00:17
I would say at this point.
00:19
Right after it happened,
00:21
I know the athlete had said that there was much to do about nothing.
00:25
That is not going to fly, it looks like at this point,
00:28
as there's been a suspension now from FIFA.
00:31
This is a hard story to cover, isn't it?
00:35
>> It is, it's a mess.
00:37
And it's unfortunate to see because it was such a big moment for
00:42
this federation to win the Women's World Cup.
00:46
It just was such a next step for them.
00:50
They'd never even made the quarter finals of a World Cup and
00:53
then they went on to win it.
00:54
It's a supremely talented team.
00:56
But the situation has just overshadowed everything and
01:00
just been a massive bombshell to the world of women's soccer.
01:03
And it's so unfortunate because the Spanish Federation has
01:09
supported a guy who has clearly crossed the line.
01:14
And it's just taken step after step after step and
01:18
taken crazy twists, this story.
01:21
I mean, the Spanish Federation called a press conference early in this saga
01:25
to announce Luis Rubiales' resignation.
01:28
He stood up at the podium at this press conference after the media was briefed
01:31
that he would be resigning.
01:33
And he basically wolf of Wall Street, he stood up there and said,
01:37
I'm not resigning.
01:38
And since then, it's been a nightmare.
01:40
The coaching staff has, they've resigned except for the head coach.
01:48
And they've suspended, FIFA had to step in and suspend him.
