Moeneeb Josephs(South Africa) Siphiwe Tshabalala(South Africa) Surprise Moriri (South Africa) Sol Bamba(Ghana) Danny Sh@ttu(Nigeria).... this might get censored. Bastian Schweinsteiger Dirk Kuyt Klaas-Jan Huntelaar
Dude I still think KaKa is the coolest one of them all. And it's even better that he plays for Real Madrid that way all other soccers fan can see that Real Madrid is labeled correctly "Kaka". In spanish it's spelled different but means Sh*%
Cacau .. and Rene Adler (eagle) as German goaly but he couldn't play because of an injury right before the tourney
Is it true(any german speakers out there?) that Schweinsteiger means literally "Pig mounter" ? I know that Schwein is a lock for Pig...[from highschool German class - a long long time ago] Still a class player, saw him twice live, the German 4-0 demolition of Australia (or as we refer to it - the "disaster in Durban" and when the Krauts demolished the Poms in Bloemfontein(A prime example for all you coaches of kids teams out there of a star team beating a team of stars IMHO
He plays for Bolton in England , my Q is do they put Danny in the back of his shirt or Sh!ttu ? oh and btw tshabalalalala is the best name for me
Pt 1: don't know mate pt 2: Tshabalala is a corker of a name and until Diego Forlan's rocket last night[deleted by mod] was surely the scorer of the goal of the Tourney.
Roque Santa Cruz (has a nice ring to it) Shane Smeltz Simon Kjaer (pronounced "care") Oguchi Onyewu Marcus Tulio Tanaka Peter Crouch (for the irony) Martin Skrtel Kevin Prince Boateng Socrates Papastathopoulos Kim Kum-Il (am I immature?) Hakan Yakin Danny
Siyabonga Sangweni (South Africa) Yaya Touré (Ivory Coast) Per Mertesacker (Germany) Dragan Mrđa (Serbia) Júlio César (Brasil)
Yaya Toure has to one of them. Sounds like an 80's pop band. Roque Santa Cruz has to be another. Sounds like a future Bond Movie. and of course Tshabalala is #1!
Succeeded to the throne by Marco Bresciano (Aus). Names that would make great screen badasses: Arturo Vidal (Chi) cast as a Colombian druglord Jonathan Santana (Par) as Nicaraguan dictator Domenico Criscito (Ita) would be a riot whacking people out as an Italian-born mafia wingman. Aleksandar Kolarov (Ser) as an ex-KGB chief But seriously people, how can a parent name their kid Surprise [Moriri from SA]?
yes, all these deserve honorable mention but the hands down winner is only indirectly related to the WC yes namegame fans i'm talking about the one and only president of nigeria goodluck jonathan. the cool name is matched only by the cool hat... and all in spades because he is, after all, a head of state, total respect this way please! who else comes close? barack obama? too little too late! if the USA had any style they would have elected screamin' jay hawkins or john lee hooker for prez when they had a chance.
It is actually common for someone in SA to be named something like that. I have met people called December, Christmas, Patience, Happy, Gift, Precious, Sunday etc.
