i thought this was funny.
If Ukraine's players want any, um, quality time with their wives and girlfriends during the World Cup, they better play awfully well.
According to a report in the Russian daily Sport-Express, Ukraine will have to reach the semifinals before its coach will sign off on any extracurricular activities.
When asked if he would allow his players to have sex with their wives and girlfriends during the month-long tournament, Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin replied, "I would personally send my players to see their wives if we reach the semis."
Apparently whether they want to or not.
"Those who don't feel like it, I'll just drag to their wives," Blokhin added. "Take my word for it."
