The Official Amahl Pellegrino thread

I hope he's not with us next week!!!!!

 

I wrote "about the skinniest soccer player in the history of the game", not the skinniest player in the history of the game.

 

Gee Jazzy, you must be about the smartest soccer analyst in the history of the Quakes BigSoccer forum.

 

Well, pretty darn close, pretty darn close .

 

Last night, I started calling him Charmin after two Portland players easily took the ball from him near the center line to set up the winning goal. Squeezably soft.

 

Current list of nicknames for Amahl Pellegrino

• Charmin
• Slenderman
• That man needs a sandwich
• Slim Pickings
• Pelle (said in total jest)
• No Fizz
• Flat

What did I miss?

 

"Pelle" is what the team calls him, and it's not really as satire and not really to suggest that he's anything remotely resembling Pelé. It's just a shortening / easy to say portion of his name.

 

Explains a lot. A team with esprit de corps has a nickname for him and not merely a shorthand.

 

Pelle is a fitting nickname because he is as useful out there as Pele, who is dead

 

Of all the problems with this team, I don't think a lack of esprit do corps is one of them, and Pelle may be a nickname he carried over from Norway and just told the guys "you can call me Pelle". As an example of esprit de corps, when they asked Pellegrino about Hernán he said yeah he's a very good player but more importantly he has a big smile on his face and is a joy to be around.

 

You’re right about Garlic Nan.

Kinda how I imagine Norway.

I love that one!

 

You is already aiming at the arrow signs right above the goal. That’s why he missed.

 

I forget, who do we blame for our flat soda water signing of Pelle?

 

Chris Leitch, the golden boy himself

 

He really has been Amahwful lately. While I'd love to seem him shut us all up with his performance in upcoming games I'm not holding my breath...

 

It is slowly becoming comical like I would laugh satirically and say "He finally scores" like when Mike Fucito, Mark Sherrod and last season's Preston Judd scored.
