By DAVID BRUNAT and GRAHAM DUNBAR (Associated Press)MADRID (AP) — Moments after Spain won the Women’s World Cup, the man who leads the country’s national soccer federation took some unwanted attention away from the celebrating players.Criticism from the Spanish government and the soccer world rained down Monday on Luis Rubiales for his inappropriate conduct while reveling in Spain’s 1-0 win over England in Sunday’s final in Sydney, Australia.By grabbing his crotch in a victory gesture — seemingly oblivious to 16-year-old Princess Infanta Sofía standing nearby — and then kissing Spain player Jenni Hermoso on the lips during the medal and trophy ceremony on the field, Rubiales’s behavior marred the biggest day for women’s soccer.The kiss was “deeply lamentable,” world players’ union FIFPRO said.

During a crucial phase of the war in Ukraine, Prigozhin's rebellion not only posed a threat to Russia but also caused humiliation to Putin. Such incidents are utterly unacceptable to t...
