Heading into the big tournaments with your national teams, many players are faced with the realization of being away from their loved ones for quite a long period of time.
Specifically their wives and/or girlfriends.
Jurgen Klinsmann was asked about that dilemma and how it impacts the USA in aà video produced by the Soccer Gods.
Basically it went along the lines of ââ¬ÅJurgen, will you let the U.S. players have sex during the World Cup?ââ¬
Asked about Mexicoââ¬â¢s coach not allowing his players to engage in ââ¬Åintimacy and physicalityâ⬠(their words, not mine) off the pitch during the World Cup, Klinsmann had the following to sayà in regards to how strict he will be with the USMNTââ¬â¢sâ⬦ off field activities.
ââ¬ÅWe are very casual the way we approach things. They [players' families] can pretty much come any time, they will be at the games, they can come to the hotel and we can have barbecues together," Klinsmann said.
''Every nation is different. I played in different countries where you didnââ¬â¢t see your girlfriend or your wife for twoà months. That was more the Italian background when I played in Italy. Every team and country has a different approach basedà on their culture.
''I respect the Mexican approach because it is their culture. We have a group of guys together and an environment that is very open and casualâ⬦ but once we go on the field for training and before the games we are very serious and down to business.ââ¬
