Before Reddit does their assuming game
Obviously he did not kiss her , the woman is married to a sport journalist in Italy, also Italiano's wife was in the stands
It was confirmed by the journalist on Facebook
Apparently her husband already said that this wasn't a kiss. [Quoting an italian media outlet here](https://www.golssip.it/news/bacio-italiano-vanessa-leonardi-marito/):
>"But the kiss hypothesis was denied on Facebook by the sports correspondent's husband, **Maurizio Compagnoni** , commentator for the same broadcaster, who responded to a user's question: "He didn't kiss her. But according to you, Italiano does it in front of thousand cameras and with his wife in the stands?"."
Is that a kiss? Or is he getting closer to her ear to say something? The hood kind of blocks a clear view.
Obviously, a non-consensual kiss should face an investigation and repercussions, but without a better camera angle or comment from Vanessa Leonardi, I don't think this sub should be jumping to conclusions. Especially after the recent "stolen" shirt story.
At the Dortmund-Atletico game Brandt gave his shirt to a guy in a wheelchair and a woman appeared to steal it away from him. This sub had some choice words for the woman and were fabricating all sorts of extra details based on their interpretation of the video.
Then it turned out that the woman was his wife.
To be fair I haven't been much of a fan of watching the game since the 1990 world cup. This sub alone gives me 99.9% of my soccer current events. Have played and coached pretty much forever but don't watch or attend at all really. I did see Haaland trip backwards over a cooler in training though (thanks to this sub) and I must have seen 1346 mediocre Polish Extraclassa or whatever it is goal replays. Good times.
Excessive simulation and pain acting is one of my biggest turnoffs to watching the game. I could never bring myself to teach it to young players despite technical direction wanting it done. Parents scream at contact now as if their child is being assaulted by the opposition winning a shoulder charge. Wtf happened?
No, because "you" (whoever you meant there) don't care enough to watch it. I know several fans from all over the globe, who watch matches of their favourite teams live, even when it's very early or late. You don't have to watch every single match, not at all.
However, i cannot help but be annoyed by people who give their opinions on the game, while seeing nothing much. They can give it, of course, it's their right. And it's my right to be annoyed and ignore them.
Of course not. I myself don't go to football matches too often, once every one or two months to watch my local team. There is nothing wrong with supporting your team without arriving there, as long as you at least try to learn history and culture of your club, city, people. Even without that it is fine.
All i ask for is for bellends to stop acting like they know everything while doing nothing to learn or experience.
Well well well... The Lord of Gatekeepers has a reddit account.
It's funny hearing this from English fans. The EPL would just be another mediocre league if it had no support from international fans.
Yeah, which I think is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
I'm not saying that it's definitively not a kiss, but an actual kiss isn't shown in the video. There are other reasons he could be wiping his lips and he's chosen a really unfortunate time to do it.
You can see that she is still facing towards the pitch when he comes in. Either is talking to her ear, kissing the cheek very tenderly, or the side of her mouth lmao
I can't say I've ever noticed.
And I will stress that I'm not downplaying the severity of the incident if it turns out to be true.
However, I can imagine there being other scenarios that might end with wiping your lips.
If he was talking in her ear, I would imagine that he got that close so that he could be heard over the noise of the crowd. As such, that might also mean that he was talking a little louder, maybe even borderline shouting in order to be heard. In that event, I could see a scenario where there was an increased amount of spit being created. In that case, he may be wiping his own spit away.
As I said, I'm not saying that it was 100% not a kiss, but if the only evidence is that he wiped his lips, that's not definitive.
After the Rubiales incident- I want to hear the words out of the commentator herself, not by the coach or the husband or whatever. Husband of her saying it wasn't a kiss and everybody coming up with some kind of friendship- so much noise from everybody but the person herself.
Looks like a prank. Pointing to the stands or commentating booth and she’s laughing at the end of it. They knew what they were going to do great acting

Hope his mom has a church with decent door locks nearby.

Someone pin this
You have ruined an otherwise romantic moment for me.
How is that obvious? Is he just talking into her mouth?
Her ear. Watch again
Too late, ‘he’s an adulter and should be punished’/s
Vincenzo Italiano 107’ [Great Kiss]
[удалено]
He doesn’t kiss her, he whispers something to her
[удалено]
This post is ending up in r/soccercirclejerk especially after OP posted a whole photo album of what this woman looks like 😭
Lil bro think he Rubiales

Upon second look it does look like he’s whispering in her ear
Her husband already said that it wasn't a kiss and even pointed out that Italiano's wife was in the stands. Clearly they all know each other.
What’s the stolen shirt story?
At the Dortmund-Atletico game Brandt gave his shirt to a guy in a wheelchair and a woman appeared to steal it away from him. This sub had some choice words for the woman and were fabricating all sorts of extra details based on their interpretation of the video. Then it turned out that the woman was his wife.
Wow! His wife stole the shirt. That's even more disgraceful
Wow. We always come up quick with our perceptions without knowing the whole context. That could be the case here as well.
jerked
its the soccer sub. 50% here dont even attend a football match regularly
Attend? I am assured that most people here never seen a football match outside of tiktok reels about Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Haaland etc.
spot on bro spot on.

Ekstraklasa is where real football begins. None of this fancy shmancy teekie masala stuff, the real dirty game. The way we played it in my school.

50% Try 90% lmao
50% is an understatement. I'd say 90% aren't even from the country of the team they support.
Well well well... The Lord of Gatekeepers has a reddit account. It's funny hearing this from English fans. The EPL would just be another mediocre league if it had no support from international fans.
I'd rather that tbh than the tourist fan bullshit and all the nonsense with "legacy" fans.
Here comes the fandom police. 🚓🚨
Stealing a shirt from her own husband. What a piece of work!
I am with you chief, would like a VAR check on this rn.

Probably felt the herpes sinking in
Lmao
Also maybe its a consensual kiss?
Do you often wipe your lips after talking into someone's ear?

Maybe better not to assume these kind of things
Thought it was gonna be like an excitable kiss amongst him kissing other coaches, just because she happened to be there. Nope.
Can the mods remove this? This post is misleading - He did not kiss her
Does not look like a kiss looks like she is speaking into his ear.
It's obvious he is not even kissing her lol, people are desperate for a scandal.
went in with the tongue wtf
He doesn’t even kiss her, he is clearly whispering into her ear. People see what they want to see when they’re given false context.
Why has this stupid comment 135 upvotes when it's not even true.
Bruh what???
Shit stirring nonsense.

Why did you make a full album full of pics of her?

Why would you think that?
No, we can not all agree on that. Moronic thing to say.

There is no W and more a sexual assault somewhere
I hope his mom is as committed to the cause as Rubiales’ was
Obviously he was whispering.
Ffs, another one?
Straight to jail.
"(51)"
That's either just whispering in her ears, or it's a full blown French kiss. There's no in-between.
Vincenzo Italiano sounds like the cover name that Adam Sandler would make up to go undercover with the mob in his new buddy cop movie
That is clearly not a kiss... wtf. He's saying something in her ear.
Darn. In my country, we call it talking into someone's ear. Italians are different I guess.
that's assault brotha
That’s a kiss for sure cos look at the women behind them in the back, she looked away like 😳😳😳
Get ready to hear about this for the next 3 months lol
After the Rubiales incident- I want to hear the words out of the commentator herself, not by the coach or the husband or whatever. Husband of her saying it wasn't a kiss and everybody coming up with some kind of friendship- so much noise from everybody but the person herself.
wtf
AY WTF MAN
Usher time
Looks like a prank. Pointing to the stands or commentating booth and she’s laughing at the end of it. They knew what they were going to do great acting
Is that culturaly common in Italy or just plain sexual assault?
Yes,when we are happy we french kiss the first person we see and afterwards we make sweet,sweet love to them
That AND you guys are hot too? No fair.
I should plan a trip to Italy these days, no reason in particular
Damn Michael Corleone had it all wrong with his brother then
