In a statement, the federation said that it would take the “necessary legal action” and told the female players that “playing for the national team is an obligation on any member of the federation called upon to do so”.

Okay, so you're arguing that this guy should be let alone after he allegedly lied. He said it was the female player who told him to kiss in her lips. That's your position. Alright, everyone, he keeps his job, nothing to see here!

I'm saying I believe they can figure it out amongst themselves without massive international attention. Social media has this tendency to blow things way out of proportion despite not even knowing any of the context. I don't know what the fair resolution would be, but it seems odd to me that this mans life should be ruined over a kiss.

This was not 'a kiss', this was sexual assault.

I mean, he's the god-damn head of the national football association. Of course, that person is unfit for that role.
