THE MOST FABULOUSS KISS OF 2019
Do you know that story of the most fabulous kiss of 2019?
No? So, pay attention to this. It was at the time of the Women's World Cup. Sweden had just won the round of 16 game in Paris. And as usual and incredibly beautiful in Swedish football games, they go to the stands and will be congratulated by family members. Magdalena had her girlfriend waiting. Pernille, Magdalena's girlfriend, wore the Swedish shirt and a powerful kiss happened there.
Pernille is one of the best football players in the world. Danish. Wearing the same sweater as her Swedish girlfriend. Can you imagine? In front of 38.000 people? In front of the televisions. Ahead of the world.
Have I told you the story of Pernille and Magdalena? If I already told, oh well, I'll tell you again and I don't want to know if it bothers you, because this is so inspiring! This story of two of the best football players in the world. Magdalena Eriksson is a defense, drop-dead gorgeous, and in 2013 she went to play at a club called Linköpings FC, in central Sweden. In addition to playing in one of the best teams in the country and being a national champion, Magdalena met the Dane there. Isn't it cute? Pernille Harder, with a beautiful laugh to die for, one of the most effective strikers in the sport, had arrived at the Swedish club a year earlier, as one of the greatest promises in football. The Swede and Pernille started dating and became known, as they often have videos and photos on social media. Fun, epic dancers and encouraging in their lesbian relationship. Cute to die for.
But in 2016, Pernille was signed by a German club, Wolfsburg. Yes, they continued to date at a distance. They took advantage of all the holidays and even games in which they faced each other, so they could be together. In 2017, Magdalena was signed by Chelsea FC in London. The distance was even greater. How does love to endure, when two women struggling to have a career in a sport considered to be men, need to be distant? Tell me, how?! And when we sometimes say that love wins everything. Sometimes you lose. But with Pernille and Magdalena, it seems that he wins a lot.
Let me tell you about that kiss again. Do you have any idea how many gals, girls and boys saw that photo? That kiss? That mutual respect and happiness for your girlfriend’s winning? That audacity to wear the sweater of the neighboring country, happy for the success of her girlfriend? Can you imagine such a scene in men's football? So pure. So simple.
Luckily the world always has powerful people somewhere to make it so beautiful. Whenever I see terrifying news for the LGBTQ + community, whenever I hear about bullying and violence against homosexual teenagers, whenever I revolt with shitty policies and comments on proliferating social networks, I close my eyes and remember Pernille and Magdalena’s kiss.
A few days ago, I read one of the best football news of 2020 and I want to share it with you. Chelsea FC made the most expensive signing ever for women's football to bring Pernille to London. Yes! I swear. Magdalena, who became captain of the English champion team, helped to convince the club to bring in the best Danish player ever and 4 years after Linköping, the girlfriends live together, work together, and will look for mutual success together.
Pernille and Magdalena won again!
Oh My Goddess, I know! It is so powerful! So Amazonian
