The 2006 World Cup quarterfinal between Italy and Ukraine was not enough to tempt a couple who were convicted of obscene acts in public after being caught having sex while the match was being played. Photo Getty
The couple, then a 60-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman, were caught having sex outside in southern Italy in 2006 while the national football team was playing in the World Cup quarterfinals in Germany.
Their defence at a previous trial was that they had timed their tryst under the stars so they would not offend anyone, because everyone else would be watching the game on television.
They were convicted and brought their case to Rome's Court of Cassation, the highest appeals court, where they lost again.
For the record, Italy played Ukraine that night and won 3-0, going on to win the tournament in a final against France.
