DEVASTATED football fans have been urged to have sex to get over England’s shocking World Cup campaign.
Many gutted Three Lions fans are likely to drown their sorrows by hitting the bottle.
But the Government-funded Men’s Health Forum says there are much healthier ways to get over the miserable failure by Roy’s boys in Brazil.
Bosses have issued a World Cup Survival Guide which insists that one of the best ways for fans to beat the blues is to jump straight into the sack.
It says: “Try at least one of these tips to beat depression: take some exercise, sing, have sex, do something you enjoy, do something different.”
Bizarrely, it suggests the latter could include simply filling in your World Cup wall chart “with a different colour pen”.
Health chiefs say football lovers are far more likely to have heavy booze sessions during the tournament and eat junk food as they head to the pub to watch matches.
The Forum points out that male hospital admissions for heart attacks rocketed by 25% when England were knocked out of the 1998 World Cup on penalties to arch-rivals Argentina.
And at Euro 1996, when Terry Venables’ men lost to Germany on penalties at Wembley, there was a whopping 50% rise in heart problems.
The Forum even pokes fun at veteran England star Frank Lampard.
“Warming the bench is fine for Frank Lampard but not for you,” says the guide.
“World Cup managers live or die on the quality of substitutions.
“Make some smart ones of your own when choosing the World Cup takeaway.
“Look no further than Greece’s 3-0 defeat to Colombia for the dangers of too many kebabs.”
The advice came as England fans began jetting home early in their droves to escape the World Cup debacle.
