It all happened as the Sky News reporter was reporting outside Old Trafford, which is the home ground of soccer giants Manchester United in England.
However, as the reporter was giving his report a playful soccer fan attacks him with a kiss.

It later emerged that the reporter is a Muslim, and was following the Islamic tradition of Ramadan. During Ramadan Islamic followers refrain for all food and drink, as well as all sexual contact. Some have commented that this made the reporter even more awkward, although it would be harsh to adjudge what happened as real sexual contact.
In the video of the incident the reporter cries out, "I am truly fasting," as his colleagues continue chuckling at the turn of events.
Some have found the clip even more funny since the kisser offers a very polite, "Thank you!" as she forces the kiss upon the reporter.
Soccer fans are known for their sometimes "expressive" behavior, and the soccer matches at the Olympic Games this year have been no exception, as the recent incident proves. The Olympic soccer tournament has been one of the major talking points in the summer games so far, with world and European champions Spain making an early exit after losing their opening two games without even registering a single goal. Brazil have become the hot favorites for the gold medal now.
