Its World Cup Confidential!
NIGERIA COACH ISSUES SEX BAN
While the Argentina FA had embarrassingly released a guide on how to pick up Russian women at the World Cup, one of their rivals has revealed a completely different approach to the local females.
Nigeria coach Gernot Rorh has instated a rule forbidding his players are not allowed to from engaging in sexual relationships with Russian women during the tournament.
"Yes, the players can have their wives and family come to visit them at the World Cup," Rorh said.
"However, I won't allow them to have Russian girls, no, no, no. Only captain Mikel who has a Russian partner can come with her."
