World Cup Sex Guide
It's the eternal sporting question. Does sex before a big game improve your performance on the field or does a bit of pre-match nooky rob players of that winning aggressive edge? SPIEGEL ONLINE has the definitive answer.

The biggest story of the World Cup so far is undoubtedly the huge media presence afforded the wives and girlfriends of the top teams. Whether it's the England team WAGS (wives and girlfriends) going on a spending spree (more...) in Baden Baden, or the German team's bevy of beauties in the stadium on matchdays, there's no doubting who the real stars of the tournament are. But, is it a good idea to let players and their girlfriends canoodle during a big tournament or would abstinence encourage players to take their frustrations out on the pitch and punish the opposition by defeating them? Or does being deprived of a bit of touchy-feely cause players to get grouchy and commit too many fouls? The science is inconclusive, so SPIEGEL ONLINE compares the sex policies of some of the big teams, and examines how this may have affected their on-field performance in the tournament so far.

England (Games Played 3 - Games Won 2 - Goals Scored 5 - Yellow Cards 4 - Sex Allowed? Yes Qualified for Next Round? Yes)

The way the press has covered the England team WAGS you'd be forgiven for thinking the soccer wives are staying in the same hotel, keeping the players up all night with their wild partying and wily ways. But while the England players are staying at the exclusive Buhlerhohe Schlosshotel in Baden Baden, the WAGS are ensconced close by in the luxurious ¤1375 a night Brenners Park Hotel. Players and girlfriends are only allowed to meet up on selected rest days, such as after England's wins against Paraguay and Trinidad & Tobago. An FA spokesman told the People newspaper "The players had more than 24 hours off with the wives and girlfriends. This is standard procedure to help the team relax and Sven has done this before for the players in previous tournaments." But the team's slipshod performance against Sweden may cause manager Sven Goran Eriksson to think again. The WAGS might be proving a distraction and the England players need to keep their mind on the job.

Sweden (Games Played 3 - Games Won 1 - Goals Scored 3 - Yellow Cards 6 - Sex Allowed? Yes Qualified for Next Round? Yes)

When the Swedes could only manage a paltry draw against World Cup minnows Trinidad & Tobago, questions were asked about the players' attacking potency and ball skills. Coach Lars Lagerbäck knew there was only one thing for it: Allow the players to let off some steam so that passions could then be recharged for the next game. But, clearly passions were running too high. It was reported in the Swedish media that after the disappointing performance star player Fredrik Ljungberg and captain Olof Mellberg were involved in a "hot dispute" in the changing rooms, suggesting the players almost came to blows. The players were all subsequently granted a conjugal visit and judging by subsequent strong performances, it seems to have done the trick. "Having sexual relations is not forbidden," Swedish team spokesman Thomas Saletag told the Associated Press. "We haven't even thought of a sex ban."

Ukraine - (Games Played 2 - Games Won 1 - Goals Scored 4, Yellow Cards 5 - Red Cards 1 - Sex Allowed? Not till the semi-finals... Qualified for Next Round? Not yet)

Ukraine was trounced 4-0 by Spain in its opening game and many were left asking if the much-fancied team had the motivation to win. Hryhory Surkis, chairman of Ukraine's football association told a press conference, "We had plenty of other problems during the game but a lack of desire was the root cause.... I was surprised to learn [midfielder Andrij] Gusin and [defender Vladimir] Yezersky met with their wives in a bar [the day before the match]." But the Ukraine team has a neat solution to the problem which will also prevent any further fraternization with girlfriends for the time being. If the team gets to the semi-final of the World Cup, the Ukrainian coach has promise the players a visit from their girlfriends. "I would personally send my players to see their wives if we reach the semis ... Those who don't feel like it, I'll just drag to their wives. Take my word for it," Oleg Blokhin told Russian daily Sport-Express. The message seems to have hit home. Ukraine beat Saudi Arabia 4-0 in its next game and now looks determined to reach the latter stages of the competition.

Ecuador (Games Played 3 - Games Won 2 - Goals Scored 5 - Yellow Cards 6 - Sex Allowed? No Qualified for Next Round? Yes)

Ecuador is one of the few World Cup teams to publicly announce a sex ban. Coach Luis Fernando Suarez has barred all hanky panky between players and girlfriends until after the World Cup is over. So far the tactic appears to have worked. Although defeated by Germany, Ecuador recorded two strong wins to reach the second round for the first time (they play England on Sunday). Announcing the sex ban at a press conference Suarez admitted the sex ban applied to him as well. Reuters reported a female journalist piped up, "Oh, that's good." Suarez was sanguine. ""No. No, it is not good ... It is not good at all."

Italy (Games Played 2 - Games Won 2 - Goals Scored 3 - Yellow Cards 5, Red Cards 1 - Sex Allowed? No Qualified for Next Round? Not yet)

What's making the Italians so grouchy? So their tally of yellow cards may not be the worst in the tournament but anybody who saw the ill tempered bear fight that was the US-Italy match knows how fiery tempers have become in the Italian camp. (Daniele De Rossi was given a red card after he elbowed Brian McBride in the face.) Could the mood swings have anything to do with sexual frustration? Well, apparently Marcello Lippi has not only banned his players from having sex during the tournament but also barred their access to all the porn channels broadcast on hotel room TV sets. Still, young Italian players should thank their lucky stars they weren't in the squad last time round. Former coach Giovanni Trapattoni also introduced a sex ban at the last World Cup in Japan and South Korea. And, it is rumored his religious ardor was so intense that he would visit players in their hotel rooms and hear confession of their mortal sins. Trapattoni also kept a bottle of holy water next to him in the players' dugout pitch-side. Bless him.
