Italy
's highest court yesterday rejected an appeal by a couple who said that their conviction for committing obscene acts in public was wrong, because the rest of their town was inside watching an important football match as they had sex outside.

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 soccer team was playing in the World Cup quarter-finals in Germany.

Their defence at a previous trial was that they had timed their tryst under the stars so as to avoid causing offence, because they had calculated that at that time everyone else would be watching the match on television.

But they were convicted, however, after which they 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 after beating France in the final.
