The football world cup in Brazil is just a few weeks away and Travis Waldron writes that many players aren’t allowed to have sex on their minds:

• Mexico’s team manager has announced that players are not allowed to have sex over the course of the tournament, arguing that professional players should stay focused on the task at hand.
• The managers of teams from Spain, Germany and Chile feel the same way.
• Things are more forgiving for the Bosnia-Herzegovinian team. While players aren’t allowed to have sex they are allowed to masturbate.
• The players from the host country are allowed to have sex but must do it in a balanced way and avoid “acrobatics.” Players will be surveyed to make sure they comply.
