Dutch football team employ lingerie models as mascots, fail to score

Underwear models can't lift bottom side.

Dutch side RKC Waalwijk tried out a warm-up with a difference last Friday night.

How often have we heard a side in relegation trouble claim to be down to the bare bones? As part of a Valentine's promotion the Dutch second tier strugglers enlisted a string of scantily clad models to escort their players onto the pitch ahead of the clash with FC Emmen.

But if the pre-match matchmaking got pulses racing, any beneficial effect was briefs and the new mascots couldn't inspire the home side, who slumped to a 1-0 defeat.

Still pants.
