The Argentina Football Assn. has apologized for distributing a World Cup manual that included a chapter with tips on how to pick up Russian women.
The manual was handed out Tuesday during a course called "Russian Language and Culture," for players, coaches, reporters and others headed to Russia next month for the World Cup. Course instructor Eduardo Pennisi, a Russian language teacher, wrote the manual, which included a chapter titled, "What to do to have a chance with a Russian girl," according to a translation by Deadspin.
The course was interrupted so the manuals could be collected.
