2010 Football World cup squads

Costa Rica's national soccer team will live a chaste regime during the soccer World Cup in Germany, while the Brazilians travel with their wives and girlfriends, said the Costa Rica Football Federation on Wednesday.

"No footballer has spoken to me about reserving tickets for their wives, so, just like the last World Cup, they will travel without them," Frank Rojas, deputy president of Fedefutbol told reporters on Wednesday.

Jose Francisco Porras, Costa Rica's goalkeeper, said that the players were used to long periods without their family.

"We are professionals and we know that this is part of the sacrifice we have to make. At the World Cup we have to abstain," he said.

Forward Ronald Gomez said that his teammates were thinking of sport and nothing else during the World Cup period, and team doctor Gerardo Artavia said that sexual abstinence is part of the team's professional duty.

Alexandre Guimarae, head coach of Costa Rican team, called up the a 28-man squad for the World Cup on Monday.

They began training on Tuesday, while the list will be trimmed down to the final 23 by May 15, the deadline set by the International Federation of Football Associations.
