Final

Paraguayan fans will be keener than ever for their team
to land the Copa America after model Larissa Riquelme on Sunday
promised to pose nude should they triumph.
The 26-year-old Paraguayan Internet sensation recently made an
announcement that arouse many people's interest.
The Paraguayans are in Group B with favourites and holders
Brazil as well as Ecuador, whom they were facing Sunday, and
Venezuela.
And the busty Riquelme gave them extra motivation after making her
promise, similar to one she also made during the last World Cup,
earning her the sobriquet la 'Novia del Mundial' (World Cup
girlfriend) in her homeland.
"If Paraguay win the Copa America then I shall pose nude on the
pitch," she told AFP, gesturing in the direction of the Brigadier
General Estanislao Lopez stadium before the Ecuador game.
Argentina has been caught in a polar snap this week with
temperatures plunging well below zero Celsius in the middle of the
Southern Hemisphere winter.
But Riquelme did her best to bring a warm glow to supporters of
Paraguay and Ecuador fans demanding pictures and autographs from
the model who eschewed even a coat as she pranced in a sleeveless
top in Paraguayan red and white.
"I think we'll do well at the Copa," forecast Riquelme, who intends
to follow all her country's matches on the spot. Her fans will
doubtless hope she is right.
This is not the first time that she has promised to strip,
she made similar claims at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but
to no avail with her nation being dumped out by eventual winners
Spain in the quarter-finals.
“If Paraguay win the Copa America then I shall pose nude on the
pitch,” The model had said that this is the way to show her support
for the team. The model was also to say that does not even have any
experience in front of the stage, with permission from the BCCI.
The kingfisher model is now the highly-in-demand and one of the
most downloaded models on the internet.
Riquelme, one of the country's biggest (yes, you know what
we mean) and most famous football supporters.
