There really are no words to describe the above video. What it seems to display is German national soccer manager, Jochim Löw, the man who led Germany to the 2014 World Cup, putting his hand down his pants during a Euro 2016 match against Ukraine on two separate occasions. Once down the front, and once down the back.
That’s bad enough, but to make it roughly 10,000 times worse, Low went ahead and just sniffed his hand afterwards both times. Despite his horrible attempt at subtlety, there is absolutely no doubt what was going on.
May I remind you that Euro 2016 is an internationally televised tournament with millions of people watching, and somehow Löw thought he could get away with this. Depending on how germaphobic you are, this is either the most hilarious or most disgusting thing you will see all day. It’s probably both, honestly.
Somehow, this isn’t even the first time that Löw has been caught doing this on camera.
Oh god, the man never stops! pic.twitter.com/teY41U560D

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, JOACHIM LÖW. And to think he is probably shaking all of his players’ and the opposing manager’s hand after the game with that same filthy mitt.
I hereby demand that this man be banned from managing any sporting event ever again. Or at least forced to wear gloves at all times. My god. But German footballer Lukas Podolski tried to put it all into perspective for all of us:
Lukas Podolski on Joachim Low's scratch 'n' sniff: "I believe 80% of you [reporters], and me as well, scratch your nuts from time to time."

I guess you should never throw stones if you’re living in glass crotch-and-butt-sniffing houses.
