So I was told an Australian soccer player was groping the breast of a young girl during the anthem tonight. I can't find it anywhere…did anyone see this or was it all BS?
Yeah i was watching it , he wasn't groping…..he was just sliding his hand up and down the Breast region . It was Craig Foster and his 8 year old Daughter , think he was just caught up in a proud moment that the players had having there kids during the National Anthem .
She seems way older than an 8 year old and she wouldn't even be developed around that region , but i did initially think it was a very awkward moment for people watching it , but then i realised it was his Daughter if it was a Strangers Daughter he may well be in serious trouble .

SBS TV presenter Craig Foster trolled over footage of him with daughter at soccer match
SBS television presenter Craig Foster has been compelled to clarify that the girl he was holding during the national anthem at last night’s Liverpool Legends football clash in Sydney was his daughter following a tirade of Twitter abuse.
The former Australia international and Premier League footballer was trolled over footage of himself with his arm around his eight-year-old girl Charlie.
Hundreds of Twitter users thought his behaviour was inappropriate but many did not realise it was his daughter.
Even some of those who knew Foster’s daughter-father relationship, were relentless in their abuse.
“Strange thing for a father to do to his daughter,” one user wrote.
Foster appeared to attempt to stop the backlash by confirming it was his child.

Foster appeared to attempt to stop the backlash by confirming it was his child.
“Was very special for all the players to have our children share tonight’s experience as mascots. My beautiful 8 yo daughter. Unforgettable,” he wrote on Twitter following the backlash.
“Shame my 16 yo girl and 18yo son couldn’t be there as well. I certainly would have hugged them very close too. Special for a father.
“My wife was there, as well as extended family.”
Not all the comments on social media were critical. “Can’t be affectionate toward your own kid any more,” posted one fan on Twitter.
Foster was playing alongside former Socceroos stars for the Australian Legends XI in last night’s clash with the Liverpool Legends before a crowd of 40,815 at Sydney’s ANZ Stadium.
Despite the Legends winning 4-0, discussion of the game was eclipsed by the furore over Foster’s hand gesture.
In the footage, he’s seen standing shoulder to shoulder with other Ex-Socceroos, with their children forming a row in front.
Foster, who is married to wife Lara, is also is a mentor at his former school Kadina High in Goonellabah, NSW.
He played with Portsmouth and Crystal Palace in England before heading back to Australia ahead of his retirement from professional football in 2003.
The 46-year-old made 29 appearances for the Socceroos before hanging up his professional boots and becoming a sports commentator with SBS.
