All World Cup Teams That Went On Sex Strike Have Been Eliminated

Back in May, we reported that Mexico was among the teams whose coaches had banned sex for his players during the duration of the World Cup. Well, it didn't really work out too well for them as they were eliminated by The Netherlands on June 29. In fact, all the teams with similar bans in place (Russia, Spain, Bosnia, and Chile) have also been eliminated. 

According to The Daily Mail (link below), the teams with the most lax policies regarding sex seem to have fared the best. 

Germany and Holland bosses allowed wives and girlfriends to stay in team hotels and both have navigated their way safely into the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Meanwhile, France, Brazil and Costa Rica who have more complicated rules regarding sex, but still allow it, also remain active in the competition as do Argentina, Belgium and Colombia whose preference isn't recorded.

So if there's a moral to this story, and there always is, it's that banning sex doesn't work. In fact, I would wager to say that it was incredibly detrimental to the well-being of the players on those teams. It's probably impossible for them to relax at all, being on edge from the games, and the no sex. It sounds like hell. Hopefully these guys listened to Mark Hanna's sage advice...
