A member of the Russian Parliament, Mikhail Degtyaryov, has encouraged horny local women to ignore comments made by others and have sex with fans at the tournament.

In his words, Mikhail said: “The more love stories we have connected to the World Cup, the more people from different countries fall in love, the more children are born, the better.”

“Many years from now these children will remember that their parents’ love story began during the World Cup in Russia in 2018.” He added.

His position on the matter is coming on the back of a damning warning issued by a colleague that Russian women to steer clear of visiting supporters.

MP Tamara Pletnyova, head of Russia’s committee for families, women and children, is adamant that the prospect of women giving birth to mixed-race children is a bad idea.

She said: “We must give birth to our own children.

“These (mixed-race) kids suffer and have suffered since Soviet times.

“It’s one thing if they’re of the same race but quite another if they’re of a different race.

“I’m not a nationalist, but nevertheless I know that children suffer.” Pletnyova concluded.
