Soccer tarts banned!

Gotta love the TABLOIDS.

The new manager of the Football Association of England is seriously considering banning players' wives and girlfriends from future tournaments following a weeks-long streak of abominable behavior during the World Cup in Germany.

The so-called WAGs (wives and girlfriends) raised a ruckus with their constant partying, shopping, and calling their gentlemen-friends in the wee hours of the morning when the men should have been resting up for England.

It seems the boozing broads are being held at least partially responsible for England's less-than-stellar performance in the World Cup.

The sad thought is that the England players are probably even harder to control when the WAGs are not there.
