Listen to the news

There was hardly any way the World Cup in Qatar could pass without a big scandal, and at the epicenter of events in recent days was Dusan Vlahovic.

According to rumors spread on social networks, he and Luka Jovic slept with the partners of their teammates Predrag Rajkovic and Nemanja Gudel.

On this occasion, and the questions raised about the striker not starting in the first two games of the group stage, the Serbian star should have specifically asked to appear at a press conference before the match with Switzerland, which our western neighbor lost and dropped out of the World Cup.

"I've never done this before, but now I have to. My name is being mentioned and that's why I'm reacting. This is nonsense, fiction. People who do this and invent such things must be bored, they have nothing to do with their lives," he fumed. Vlahovich.

The "shack on wheels" traveled around Germany, and half-naked porn stars played football

In the end, he scored against Switzerland, but Serbia lost 2:3, and with the departure of the Serbs from Qatar, the truth about whether there was any forbidden Balkan entertainment at the headquarters will also leave.

And if at this World Cup we can say that it got away relatively easily, then history shows that there were not a few footballers with weak angels over the years.

Regardless of the importance of the tournament and that the whole world is watching, sometimes, it seems, the temptation is too great.

"Webcafe" recalls five cases in which the stars went too far in their belief that this time they could get away with it and no one would find out what they had done.

Farewell party with 30 prostitutes

This year, Chicharito was not part of Mexico's squad, and one of the reasons why the goalscorer has rarely donned the national team shirt for several years has to do with a large offshoot.

Recently, journalist Jose Ramon Fernandez brought more clarity.

In the run-up to the 2018 World Cup, the Mexican public was rocked by a scandal in which several footballers took part in orgies with prostitutes, and Fernandez claimed that Chicharito was the mastermind.

Just before Mexico's staff departs for Russia, the players are given the opportunity to say goodbye to their families or unwind.

Eight players choose the latter and go to a bar where 30 girls engaged in paid love are tasked with entertaining them.

Javier Hernandez had to explain himself to Mexico's football federation, but in the end it all ended with the striker gradually being sent out of the team without much explanation.

French love

At the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, three representatives of Raymond Domenech's selection were detained by the police and questioned on charges that they had sex with underage prostitutes.

In the days after that, the French media also came up with the names: Sidney Gouvu, Franck Ribéry and Karim Benzema.

After that, the whole world understands that the French are a completely disorganized command, and sex scandals are the least of the team's problems.

Naturally, this is incomparable to Karim Benzema's accusation years later that he was complicit in the extortion of former Roosters team-mate Mathieu Valbuena.

In 2015, French football was rocked after it emerged that Benzema was suspected of helping a group of alleged extortionists get to Valbuena more easily.

Their goal was to get as much money as possible from the former Marseille player - otherwise they wanted to publish a compromising sex video with the player's participation.

A captain who does not lead by example

What could remove the captain of the USA national team from the 1998 World Cup?

If you answer, "To sleep with his teammate Eric Wynalda's wife," it will absolutely be done.

That's exactly what John Harks does.

Two years earlier, he was called by many names: Captain America, Captain Planet and others.

At the World Cup in 1998, it is still unclear why coach Steve Sampson took him out of the team.

At the time, the coach gave the most disingenuous explanation possible -- namely that Harks "has trouble being the leader of the United States."

More or less two decades later, the victim Eric Wynalda spits out the stone and admits to the passions between his wife and John Harks.

Get caught in a Czech alley

In 2009, the Czech national team tried for the first time in its history since the 1960s to qualify for two consecutive world championships.

To do so, the Czechs must beat Slovakia in the qualifiers.

And, if possible, maintain good enough discipline both on and off the field.

It all ended with the dismissal of the national coach Peter Rada and a 1:2 defeat.

But disaster struck after tabloids in the Czech Republic published pictures of six national team players partying with prostitutes before one of the most important matches.

The "heroes" are Tomas Ujfalusi, Milan Baros, Radoslav Kovač, Martin Fenin, Marek Matejovski and Vaclav Sverkos.

And the "golden ones" can cry

At the 1982 World Cup, Michel Platini learned first-hand that it doesn't matter if you're the best footballer in the world when it comes to love.

The Roosters' staff have been rocked by the revelation that Jean-Francois Lario is having an affair with the wife of his Saint-Etienne and national team-mate.

At that time, it was not a popular policy for the team's management to try to cover up the scandals - on the contrary, the guilty were reprimanded.

Lario was immediately kicked out of the team, and Platini decided to forgive his wife and remains with her to this day.
