I didn’t like it

And then…

In comments later released by the Spanish football federation Hermoso - Spain's all-time leading scorer - said the moment was a "natural gesture of affection". "It was a totally spontaneous mutual gesture because of the immense joy that winning a World Cup brings," the 31-year-old forward added.

Or she's being pressured to say it's okay to kill the controversy.

Yeah, might. It's good good to question it even if that's the case. Maybe next time someone will think twice about doing something similar if it's not consensual.
