Larissa Riquelme, Paraguay’s biggest football fan and lingerie model, will run through the streets naked if her home country wins the 2010 World Cup. With Paraguay’s penalty-kick win over Japan, Paraguay only needs three more wins for Larissa to get her wish. Unfortunately, Paraguay will have to find a way to beat Spain/Portugal next, and then Argentina/Germany in the semi-finals.
Larissa isn’t the first person to promise a little streaking if their team wins the World Cup. Argentina coach Diego Maradona said he’d run through Buenos Aires nude if his team brings home the Cup.
It’s a tough head to head. Who do the fans want to see streak naked through the streets more, Larissa or Diego?
Whatever the outcome, Larissa has quickly gone from obscurity to one of the most searched people in the world thanks to the football World Cup, according to search engine ‘top searches’. The model has been regularly pictured among the throngs gathering in Asuncion, Paraguay’s capital, to watch their team play in the world event in South Africa. -Agencies
