Russia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, both of which banned sex during the World Cup, each fell short and were eliminated in the group stage of the competition. Mexico and Chile also banned sex for their players, and both teams were eliminated in the Round of 16. Mexico lost to the Netherlands while Chile fell to host Brazil.
Meanwhile, teams such as Brazil, Costa Rica, France, and the Netherlands that have not banned sex or have only placed minor restrictions on sex each advanced to at least the quarterfinals.

Russia and bosnia aren't that great anyway. Mexico and chile played well and were both unlucky not to progress further.
Brazil, france and holland are already decent teams. We cant learn anything from this information.

Correlation doesn't equate causation.
if they're not having sex then they're probably more tense and going to play worse.
I can tell you if I ever got told I couldn't masturbate or have sex for that long I would end up like this.

Would be interesting to know what those "minor restrictions" could be. It's the first time I hear that a soccer team puts rules for what it's playiers should do with their sex life though. lol how are they even able to check? 
a sample size of 5 countries out of 32.. and the suggestion is that not having sex has some correlation to winning?
Nothing like strengthening team bonds by having sex with your teammates.
The Spartans did this too and they were one of the most successful armies ever.
