Prostitutes' soccer team loses to cops
GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A soccer team made up of Guatemalan prostitutes, formed to call attention to their poor working conditions, has lost 3-1 to a team of policewomen.



The women get paid as little as $2.50 for sex and complain of frequent police harassment, despite their profession being legal and widespread in Guatemala.


"We get much more attention from the public now our faces are known; people come up and congratulate us and tell us to keep up the good work," said Valeria, 27, who scored the prostitutes' goal on Saturday.


"It's good to feel the power of being united; when we work, we are more isolated in our rooms," said defender Beatriz, 37.
