New footage shows Jenni Hermoso laughing and joking on the team bus about Luis Rubiales kissing her after Women's World Cup final Let's continue celebrating in peace and showing them our love and admiration.' Lionel Messi and Argentina had earlier returned as heroes as they were greeted by thousands of fans at Ezeiza International Airport after touching down in Buenos Aires.

A real shame.' Gabriela Cerruti, an Argentine presidential spokeswoman, tweeted as TV stations broadcast the breathtaking images of the crowds looking upwards towards the players above them in the sky: 'The world champions are flying along the route they were taking because it was impossible to continue by road with the explosion of happiness. I apologise in the name of all the players. The security organisations that were escorting us won't let us continue. AFA president Chiqui Tapia confirmed in a tweet just before 4pm local time: 'They won't allow us to greet everyone who was at the Obelisk. It will take in landmarks including the iconic Obelisk, where the majority of expectant Argentinian supporters have congregated. The streets of the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires have been mobbed with jubilant fans for the open-top bus parade, which is set to last around eight hours. The helicopters carrying the footballers circled low above the skies of the capital including the area around the iconic Obelisk monument as crazed fans chanted and applauded before taking them back to the Argentine Football Association's (AFA) training facilities HQ near Ezeiza Airport where the victory parade had begun around midday. The practice of simultaneous kick-offs for the last two games of a group serves another purpose - that of ensuring that no match-fixing of any kind, propelled by bets on a team/teams, can be engineered.The players were transferred to choppers after four million supporters thronging the streets of Buenos Aires made it impossible for them to continue their journey. Austria meanwhile were knocked out in the second round (played at that time before the knockouts which began with the semi-finals), after a 0-1 loss to France and a 2-2 draw with Northern Ireland. In the 1982 edition, West Germany made its way to the final, where they lost to eventual champions, Italy. It helps to maintain a level playing field for all teams, ensuring that no team gets the short end of the stick. This was done to maintain the sanctity of the games and the tournament as a whole, so that no team/teams can plan results in advance, based on previous results.
What FIFA did do though after this was revise its World Cup match schedule such that the final matches of all groups from the next edition in 1986 would have simultaneous kick-offs. The Algerian Federation of course protested against this, but since no rules were broken, FIFA or any other body couldn't punish anybody. It appeared to be an on the spot decision by the teams to play in this fashion and not really pre-match fixing, but the match went down in the history books as one of the most infamous games of football ever played and is still remembered as 'The disgrace of Gijon'. According to some reports, Austria's national broadcasters told viewers in Austria to switch off their TV sets. Local newspaper El Comercio ran the match report in its crime section. The commentators were disgusted by what they witnessed, so were the fans in the stadium. West Germany had a GD of +3, Austria of +2 and Algeria had a GD of 0. The game ended at 1-0 to the Germans which meant that West Germany, Austria and Algeria all finished on 4 points and the Germans and the Austrians went through to the next round on goal difference. Barring a couple of players who showed some intent, the match steadily deteriorated into quite the farce. Often the ball was kicked back to the goal-keeper. No attacking plays as such were witnessed. But after this goal, both teams began to aimlessly pass the ball around in their own halves.
The Germans scored the first goal in the 12th minute via then centre-forward and current coach of Hamburger SV, Horst Hrubesch, nicknamed 'The Header Beast' for his skills in heading the ball. In what was one of the most shocking sights on a football pitch in the history of the World Cup, the Germans and the Austrians colluded to play the game in a way that Germany walked away with a 1-0 win.
