The WAGs of the England national football squad have been reportedly banned from the Brazil World Cup, as their presence would tend to cause distraction among players.

Teams such as Portugal have been barred from socializing with women and are on a stipulated night curfew.

Roy Hodgson, manager of the England squad said that such arrangements are made to ensure his meticulous preparations are not disrupted and the team arrives in Brazil in their best form.

According to Daily Star, the FA bosses have imposed stringent safety measures as they have tightened security around the camp with a team of forces guarding the area on quad bikes.

Reports have further revealed that the England stars were ferried around in a blacked-out bus and eat together in a private room.
