BUCHAREST, June 27: A romanian fan spends four hours a day with his head immersed in the bath praying to God to help Romania win the World Cup, his wife has told a Bucharest daily.The Newspaper, Evenimentul Zilei, said engineer Ioan Moldovan, 44, had been a model family man and worker until two weeks ago and has since told psychiatrists he was Romania's only `human amphibian'.
Moldovan's wife Adriana said she believed the only solution was to cut off the water supply to the family home.
``Better to die of thirst and go unwashed than to continue seeing my husband every morning in the water and believing that Romania will win the championship,'' she said.
``I've come to hate soccer. I want my husband back the way he was.'' Romania meet Croatia in the second round on Tuesday.
