Its a Tale of Shifting Loyalities.
ANY BODY FOR PARAGUAY? Lingerie model Larissa Riquelme has pledged to run naked “with my body painted with the colours of Paraguay’’ if her country wins the World Cup | AFRICARNIVAL P 19, 20 ref: Times of India, 01 July 2010.
Paraguay faced Spain in an epic encounter. Spain retained 80% possession in the match - only a few times they let Paraguay players touch the ball - the Paraguayans scored. It was a lame ass revisit to the Switzerland match. however, this time - people across the world rejoiced and the Spanish Armada was knocked out. Next, they faced the Gritty and disciplined Germans. It was not a team of footballers - but it was a well trained army. They had destroyed the Argentinians 3-2 in a show of might. Everyone thought the Paraguayans had scored a fluke win against the Spanish and the semis would be a cake walk for the Germans. The Destiny had something exciting in store. Germans played well - they definitely did - but somehow they were like little school buys in the Paraguayan D. Just after the half time - scores of young paraguayan gals "flashed" .. right in front of the German keeper. The sight must have shook the German wall -- what else do you think could have happened because the next moment resulted in a goal. The keeper fumbled the ball as if it was a fish - in a stoopid attempt to clear the ball - Lahm deflected it to their own post. Paraguay 1 - 0 Germany.
People eagerly await the WC finals when the Paraguayans take on the mighty Dutch. The web has been swept with support for the Paraguayans. Twitter and Facebook are swamped by what is now called the Paraguayan tit pit army. Even distant despo Indians have changed colors to support Paraguay. Two days back Brazil, Argentina and Spain were suddenly replaced by Paraguayan demigods and all of them cherished the above fantasy. Two days back was the day when Times of India had splashed a young Paraguayan Model's fullsome bosoms. It also quoted her vow to run naked on the streets with her body painted in Paraguayan Colors. A canny Arnab Goswami, lead new anchor of Times Now screamed it was Times of India which garnered the support of Indians by showing Larissa Riquelme on the front page. The little man-crushes on Messi, Kaka and David Villa were replaced by the a desire to see the Paraguayan win. It was not the first time someone has promised to run naked if his teams wins. The mercurial Maradona had some time back vowed to do it. However, it never resulted in such a metamorphosis of football fans across the world. Estrogen is a willy old fox - you are defenseless against it.
When a random Indian walking with Paraguayan flag painted on his face was asked, "So, why do you support Paraguay?" He answered, " Since, India can't be there for next 100 years - there is little stake of an Indian in the soccer world cup. But if Paraguay wins at least we will have some visual pleasure," Do you know where is Paraguay?" "Somewhere near Las Vegas." Take a look at her and you decide which side to support in the World Cup.
Meanswhile - feminists have decided to lodge a protest with FIFA against such a materialistic treatment of women. It is also heard that they have asked Blogger and Google to remove this blogpost.
