Suddenly, I'm a HUGE fan of the Paraguayan soccer team

Paraguay’s success at the World Cup continued on Tuesday, with the country’s soccer team beating Japan on penalty kicks to advance to the tournament’s quarterfinals. Now, with only eight teams remaining, the Paraguayans may have a few more fans to help win it all. Larissa Riquelme, a curvy lingerie model who loves her national team, has been cheering the Paraguay squad on from Asuncion, clad in revealing outfits. The 24-year-old beauty has pledged to run naked through the streets “with my body painted with the colors of Paraguay” if Paraguay wins the World Cup.

So, I’ve been glued to the World Cup for the past 2 1/2 weeks now, and I’ve become increasingly impressed with the passion that fans from all over the world bring to the competition. Some are a bit more off the wall than others, but few will garner more attention than Larissa Riquelme. To call her a bigger fan of Paraguay’s soccer team than I am of the US team may or may not be true. Then again, no one’s going to want to see me running naked through downtown Portland with my body painted red, white, and blue. Riquelme, though, will undoubtedly get a much more enthusiastic reaction. In fact, you could probably sell tickets and count on a crowd running into the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of single, dateless Paraguayan men.

BTW…nice cell phone holder….

Sadly, the odds of Paraguay winning the World Cup are roughly equivalent to my being elected Queen of England. Still, this is why they play the game, right? Keep the faith, Paraguay; your dream may still come true…and I’m not just talking about the World Cup.
