Not Fornicating Nor Form Can Stop Spain
When Spain's 23-man squad gathers at their training base in Madrid on Monday, ahead of the friendly encounter with France, Vicente del Bosque could invite their WAGs, sisters and mothers along too.
The national manager could wheel in crates of tequila, bottles of beer and instruct his footballers to drop their car keys onto a table.
Del Bosque could inform each of his charges that they had two days to do what they wanted, where they wanted with whoever they wanted and it wouldn't make the tiniest bit of difference to the side's World Cup chances this summer.
Captain Iker Casillas could repeatedly whack long balls up the channel of the reserve left-back's squeeze until it turned blue and fell off and La Furia Roja would remain the strongest of favourites in South Africa.
However, considering the very eligible Real Madrid goalkeeper is currently dating the hottest TV totty in Spain in the foxy form of Sara Carbonero, it's unlikely that Casillas would be wanting to stray too far from his own box, as it were.
Spain are just so insanely strong in all departments that not even a serious bout of inter-squad shagging can stop them. And nor would the country let it, for that matter.
The John Terry / Wayne Bridge affair has been followed with just as much interest in Spain as in the UK. The 'will they, won't they' handshake moment from Saturday was the biggest of talking points in every barrio bar.
But as well as the scandal-loving locals loving a decent poking-related tale as much as anyone else, the story was focussed on the very public response in England to a very personal matter.
Fabio Capello's decision to strip John Terry of the England captaincy was met with near universal disbelief in Spain. This is partly due to the fact that the Chelsea defender is widely admired for his stern, shouty, very English ways. However, there is a genuine lack of understanding of why a footballer's perfectly legal - if not entirely moral - off-the-field activities is anyone's business but their own.
Whilst la Liga's footballers are no less angelic that their counterparts in the Premier League, their night-time indiscretions are widely overlooked by the national press whose main interest lies in pounding players on the pitch and not who the footballers may be pounding off it.
If the situation were different, then juicy tales of a former international breaking curfew ahead of a game for Spain to nail a fan in the team's hotel car park or the Primera squad that hired a brothel on a Far East tour would have been headline news instead of being overlooked.
Part of the reason for this embargo is that the likes of Marca and AS would find their access to clubs very quickly cut if the goings-on of expensive superstars were exposed.
However, there is also a very relaxed attitude to the private lives of players unless it happens to affect their performances. For this reason, Jermaine Pennant made last week's news for arriving late for training with Zaragoza for the third time in ten days.
Therefore, there has been a great deal of giggling at England's expense over what is seen to be a rather puritanical, hypocritical and over-the-top reaction to the lives and loves of John Terry's todger.
But even if Spain were to share the same unfortunate situation as England - which it most certainly hasn't - and del Bosque were to make the same decision as Capello, handing the captaincy of La Seleccion to Carles Puyol would not slow the side down for a second.
The Spain manager could even kick Captain Casillas out of the squad completely and move Pepe Reina into his position without harming his side's chances in South Africa.
In fact such is the strength in depth of the European Champions in nearly every position that a galactic gangbang wouldn't cause a ripple.
Barcelona's clash with Málaga on Saturday night is a case in point.
Victor Valdés was in goal for the Catalan club. Barça's man between the sticks has not been called up for Spain since 2005. Since that time, Valdés has won the Champions League twice, the league title three times, was the best keeper in la Primera last season and is statistically the best in the current campaign having conceded just 14 goals in 24 games.
And anyone who says that Valdés only looks good because of his defence hasn't seen Rafa Marquéz or Puyol of late and is forgetting the first ten minutes of the Champions League final against Manchester United.
Valdés is currently fifth or sixth choice for his country, meaning that Casillas, Reina, Diego López and Andrés Palop could all be blasted into space and Spain's goal would still be very well protected, come the summer.
The scorer of Barcelona's opener in the 2-1 win over Málaga where the league leaders returned to their normal, fine footballing form was a forward called Pedro RodrÃguez.
The Canary-Islander has scored 16 in 24 matches for Barcelona this season, and has racked up goals in la Primera, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup and the World Club Championships.
Nevertheless, Pedro has almost no chance of making the World Cup having been missed from del Bosque's latest list. And it's easy to see why with Juan Mata, David Güiza, David Silva, Alvaro Negredo, David Villa and Fernando Torres all in front of him.
And that's not even including Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente, who has missed the cut, once again, but who has already showed what he can do for his country by scoring against England in last year's friendly.
The versatile Pedro couldn't even sneak into a midfield berth with the outstanding Sevilla footballer, Jesús Navas, having recovered from his stress issues to take his rightful place in the Spain squad and give his country even more attacking options in South Africa.
For a team where Cesc Fabregas will probably start on the bench and Torres could well do the same, the strength in depth is so incredible that Spain's South Africa preparations could resemble 1960s San Francisco in the summer without it being too much of an issue.
Aside from a massive collapse in footballing form, nothing can stand in the way of what should be a World Cup winning campaign for Spain.
But more importantly, unlike the current situation with what they see as being their sex-obsessed, ivory tower-inhabiting Anglo-Saxon rivals, Spain won't allow anything to do so.
wow...Spain really strong sah
