Breaking news from Paraguay, where lingerie model Larissa Riquelme had become the centre of attention after promising to strip naked and run through the country’s capital were the national team to win the World Cup.

That was subsequently amended to reaching the final and then just the semi-finals, raising suspicions Miss Riquelme was keener to take her clothes off than keep them on. But Paraguay’s quarter-final defeat appeared to have failed to do enough to prompt a streak of any kind.

However, the shy and retiring Miss Riquelme has now announced that she will still strip and run. "It will be a present to all of the players, and for all the people in Paraguay to enjoy, because they tried as hard as possible and gave it their all on the field.”

If she does, then in the interests of global football coverage, World Cup Daily will be there.
