The Ukrainian team will be given a break from training if they reach the World Cup semi-final - to have sex with their wives. The promise was made by Ukraine coach Oleg Blokhin who said he wanted players to forget about sex and to concentrate on their game. But he told the Russian daily Sport-Express: "I will personally send my players to see their wives if we reach the semi finals. In fact I will drag them to their wives whether they want to or not." Holders Brazil went most of the last finals under a strict sex ban, although current coach Carlos Alberto Parreira has said his players can have as much sex as they want this time round. Ukraine are playing in their first World Cup finals and will meet Spain, Tunisia and Saudi Arabia in Group H.
