– Only high-profile brothels said their business was humming.

“The first few days have been a bit slow, but it has really picked up now,” said a spokesman for Pascha in Cologne, Europe’s largest brothel, declining to give his name. “We are working at 100 percent capacity and could do more if we had more space.”

“For us, soccer and sex go very well together,” he said. “In soccer there is always a winner and a loser. One needs a party, the other one needs consolation, and we can offer both.”
