Germany coach Joachim Loew picks nose before shaking hands with Cristiano Ronaldo
GAMESMANSHIP or just bad manners? Germany coach Joachim Loew raises eyebrows with his dirty handshake with Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
EEEEEEEEEW! Germany coach Joachim Loew has added insult to injury after his side trounced Portugal, picking his nose before shaking the hand of beaten superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.
Having cut a frustrated figure during a terrible 4-0 loss against the Germans, Ronaldo trudged off the pitch towards Loew, who was revelling in his team’s continuation of its bogey team status against the Portuguese.
The coach, who has form in this area, was caught fiddling away inside his nostril as Ron approached and he didn’t even bother to wipe his hand before shaking.
The incident sent social media into a frenzy.

It’s certainly not the first time Loew has been caught out in public indulging his filthy habit. In fact, he’s been outed as a serial offender, with England another victim and poor old Portugal also in the firing line at Euro 2012.

Loew has yet to apologise and there has been no official comment from Ronaldo thus far. But his fans, and supporters of personal hygiene around the world, have been horrified.
Joachim Low gets caught digging his nose every World Cup, worst part is he shook Ronaldos hand straight after it this time #WorldCup2014
