WORLD CUP

According to a survey take just before the 2010 World Cup, only five per cent of Germans would prefer a night of passion with their loved one to watching Germany in the World Cup Final. Despite that, 38 per cent of respondents said they were not interested in football.

The Argentine squad at the World Cup, however, were told by their team doctor that may have sex on non-match days during the World Cup in South Africa, "but with regular partners and without champagne or other drinks".
