    Just thought I'd put it out there, Giullerme Ochoa the Mexican keeper is a free agent this summer. Only 28, perfect age for a goalkeeper.

    I Googled that question, but this is all I could find:-

    Why Can't The Mexican Team Have Sex? and 14 Other World Cup Questions Answered

    10. Why can't the Mexicans have sex?

    Because sex is bad for soccer playing. At least according to Mexican national team coach Miguel Herrera. Back in May, Mexico's coach told a newspaper that his team would not be allowed to have sex during the World Cup. "If a player can't go one month or 20 days without having sexual relations, then they are not prepared to be a professional player," he said. Herrera later backed off that claim a little, but he probably wasn't just being impulsively superstitious. Back in 2011, eight members of the Mexican team—including current star striker Oribe Peralta—were caught partying with prostitutes in Ecuador during the Copa America tournament and were promptly sent home. Herrera's proclamation caused reporters desperate for content to begin surveying other national team coaches for their rules about sex. Luiz Felipe Scolari of Brazil, who has arguably the most pressure of any coach at the tournament, said that "normal sex" done "in a balanced way" was acceptable, but that under no circumstances should Neymar, Hulk, Fred and the other players engage in "certain forms, certain ways" that are too "acrobatic".

    Other sex-related news from participant nations: Bosnia-Herzegovina coach Safet Susic pulls no punches. "There will be no sex in Brazil," Safet said. However, he understands human needs. "The can find another solution. They can even masturbate if they want." Cameroon players will be under surveillance, to keep the ladies out of their rooms. So says the Guardian's excellent World Cup blog, which quotes an employee of the team hotel as saying: "Everything will be monitored by cameras. The order came from the team manager himself. The players will not be able to get women into the rooms. If they are looking for pleasure, they will have to find another way." Finally, American players are free to copulate, which is great, because anything else would be undemocratic. "I think we are very casual in the way we approach things," coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "Their families can come pretty much any time."

    Sign up Ochoa although I'm sure so will say green is better.

    The no sex thing has been proven a myth, it makes no difference.

    I haven't censored anything. I was driving home from work when you posted and nothing has been edited on this thread from either Roller or myself. :confused:

    Edit.. I see what you mean now. You started a new thread while this one already existed. They got merged.

    I really don't understand why he didn't get a yellow for the dive. If this was not the right time to give when, then when is?

    In certain situations, the player may have genuinely fallen when he goes down even though it's not a penalty. But in the situation where there has been a simulation, there should be a card. The referee reacted as though it was a simulation and told him to get up.

    I'd had concerns that the fix was in, in favour of Brazil naturally. This result has shown that I was perhaps overly cynical. Good.

    Dope photo, or just a pair of pretty dopes?

    please log in to view this image


    Players have been giving unprecedented behind the scenes access at a World Cup to the public at this event through social media. A photo in doping control? Why not?
    Here is a picture Mexico substitute Marco Fabian has just put on Facebook with Neymar. All friends after the 0-0 draw it seems.
