Paraguayan players and fans will be keener than ever to bag the Copa America title after model Larissa Riquelme promised to 'pose nude' if the team manages to triumph.
"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.
"I think we'll do well at the Copa," forecast Riquelme, who intends to follow all her country's matches on the spot.
The busty Riquelme made similar promises during the last World Cup that earned her the sobriquet la 'Novia del Mundial' (World Cup girlfriend) in her homeland.
The Paraguayans are in Group B with favourites and holders Brazil as well as Ecuador, whom they were facing Sunday, and Venezuela.
