The headline itself is split up with the word Goal held up on a banner. Purposely being positioned across this womens chest it suddenly attracts readers to both her chest and the front cover. The picture of a half naked women is purposely used as you would generally expect most men to enjoy seeing this kind of images and in order for the paper to sell they place her there and also combine football aswel which is another topic most men generally enjoy. By doing this both men and "The Sun" itself are satisfied.
The image of the naked woman overshadows the rest of the front cover becuase as a dominant reader you would enjoy staring at the image other than reading large amounts of text. The font is nice and simple and big and bold. The positioning of the image connotes that this women shows some importance and the text purposely positions around her. The medium shot focuses on most of her body, close enough to see her face and her arms and a bit of her legs. Top lighting is used on her face to make her look famous and glamorous
The headline is polysemic because it is a sexual pun. The headline with the image is anchored by the strap line which is talking about the World Cup: football. However as there is an image of a half-naked woman, the heading could signify the idea of “scoring” or getting a woman for sexual pleasures.
