Most Horrible Soccer Team Name Thread

[scaryice]

The hell you do. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought United was just a comment on the team characteristic. Real, on the other hand, means royal (correct?), and those teams were annointed, blessed, or whatever by the King of Spain. Real Salt Lake sounds ridiculous. Who is the King of the Mormons again? And more importantly, does he speak Spanish or simply like that one Spanish word?


It's hard to count United as a team characteristic when the name was chosen before the team had any players. United and Real were both chosen because they were traditional soccer names.

I can't wait till rednecks start pronouncing it "reel" Salt Lake.

"Whut the hail?? Reel Salt Lake? Is there a fake salt lake around or sometn'?"


I'm quite sure that the majority of the USA, not just rednecks, will pronounce it "reel".


Back on topic I think the worst names are Club Deprotivo Chivas USA, Real Salt Lake, and that South American team called The Strongest.

I believe Welsh footie has some peachy names:

Connah's Quay Nomads

Newi Cefn Druids

And my personal all-time most hated name....

TNS

I hate this because they sold the name of the club. They used to be Llansantfraid FC, which is great. Its a proper name! It means things. But they sold it and became crappy TNS. That sucks so hard it blows!

I also hate teams selling the name of their grounds. The Fitness First Arena ... my arse! It's Dean Court and you know it! They are all twatty bastards and I hate them.

You beat me to it. Total Network Solutions Football Club is by far the worst team name. Real Salt Lake is a distant second.

[billyireland]

MK Dons.

TNS is a frickin' hilarious name, though... "they'll be dancing on the streets fo Total Netword Solutions tonight!"

Newell's Old Boys vs. Young Boys in the Pedophilia Cup final. They all score!

and I forgot Airbus FC.

That doesn't wind me up though, cos it was originally the works team.

Tampa Bay Mutiny at least has some sort of tie to the area, given the huge Gasparilla (pirate) parades that Tampa has several times a year. Real Salt Lake? Just makes no sense at all. And why is FC Dallas called that? It should be Dallas FC. Still better than "Burn" I suppose.

[KaptPowers]

That is how it's ment to be pronounced.
Unless there is this huge unknown Spanish speaking population in Salt Lake City.

No, it's actually meant to be pronounced the Spanish way. Which only makes it worse.

Worst name of a team ever, still, is South Africa's "Dangerous Darkies." I mean....sheesh.

Runners up:
-New Orleans Shell Shockers (PDL)- sponsored by Shell Gas at least
-Central Florida Kraze (PDL again)
-West Virginia Chaos (PDL, last time I promise)
-Deportivo Wanka (Peru)
-New England (later Jacksonville) Tea Men (NASL)
-Football Kingz (Australian NSL)

LMAO @ Dangerous Darkies and NO Shell Shockers...Jesus H. Christ..

[Dominican Lou]

Well, in Spanish, "Futbol Club" is used before the team name, hence FC Barcelona.

Maybe the're trying to be extra exotic by using Spanish grammar in their team.

[Dominican Lou]

I'm quite sure that the majority of the USA, not just rednecks, will pronounce it "reel".

But imagining a redneck pronouncing it is infinitely funnier.

[Soju Gorae]

-Football Kingz (Australian NSL)
Is their official club anthem, "bitch, where's my money" by any chance?

[jared9999]

las chivas rayadas de guadalajara :D . real salt lake has to be the worst name team in north america.

[deejay]

Bolivia: Blooming, also Aurora (although some think it's a cool name)
Peru: Sport Boys (with lovely pink uniforms), Union Pesquera (Fisherman's Union)
Colombia: Pepe Ganga ("Bargain Joe", named after a supermarket chain)
England: Crystal Palace, Sheffield Wednesday (why Wednesday? Aren't there cooler days of the week? ) Queen's Park Rangers (They sould move to another place).

[colombialovingguy11 redded]

there is no supermarket chain or team here called pepe ganga sorry to burst your bubble

[silver bullet]

Go Ahead Eagles - from the dutch 1st division.

[zingostar]

I might have heard a name like Chicago Sockers Soccer Club.... Better known as the Chicago Suckers.

In Germany it is the same way: FC Bayern München
