So yesterday during the Germany vs France friendly, this happened.

(Description: French national team player Olivier Giroud celebrates his goal by kissing teammate Mathieu Debuchy.)

Yeah, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on my stream. Luckily, someone ripped it and uploaded it to youtube, so I could make sure I wasn't seeing anything. ;) It's just so refreshing and nice to see affection expressed so between two players when the sport can be (and is, often) so homophobic.

(Don't read the comments, though, if you click through to youtube. Lots of homophobic stuff there, unsurprisingly, sadly. :|)

I saw that on one of the replays (I was attempting in vain to get work done with the match in the background). I was like O_O wow, that was...was that open-mouth kissing? Damn!

I don't think the angle of the camera allows for conclusively deciding whether the kiss was open-mouthed or not, but my favourite part is how Debuchy appears to just go with it - he puts his hands on Giroud's head and just goes with the kiss. *o*

It was a very ... friendly kiss :D Especially with the head-touching.

Awesome and so sweet!
