Silly World Cup names

I have a puerile sense of humour, I'm afraid, and names from other languages often make me laugh because they have a different meaning in English. Silly, I know, but here's my World Cup list of silly names. Can you add to it?

Totty (Totti, Italy)
Fatty (Fatih, Turkey)
Airgun (Ergun, Turkey)
Semen (Seaman, England)
Oh No! (Ono, Japan)
Itchykawa (yea yea mama - think of the song, think Moulin Rouge) (Itchikawa, Japan)
Rocky Junior (Roque Jr., Brazil)

Any more for any more? Let's try and make a full eleven players at least!

Thanks, Tony. I started doodling just after I read your first post. Work got in the way a little. I thought of Hashish Stash whilst watching the Brazil v Turkey game - Hashan Shash is how they pronounced it. Great thread. Deutschland for me on Sunday - Der Traum ist noch am Leben!

Here's one for you, Tony. In the last World Cup, David Batty played on the same pitch as his teacher from school. Name the teacher.

Not forgetting that great guy thingy kuntz. Germany? They can't win...! They always fluke it through, jammy sods. Besides, if Brazil mean, at least that means we lost to the world champions.

David O Leary (a greedy bastard who inherited a good team created by George Graham and profitered out of the beating up of a poor Asian lad. even if his players were involved or not. Ex Leeds United, soon to be at Watford of Aldorshot Town.) I know its cheating but he should be put in the same basket as Roy Keane. Ralph

During the first Brazil- Turkey game, the commentator said, "Booking - for Farhti" I heard it as "Booking for farting" Never knew that was a yellow card offence. Ok. Had to be there (and heard it)

Wasn't Totti voted the world's sexiest footballer or something silly? How perfect!

Totti has been voted that on a number of occasions - it is indeed right and apt! As for David Batty's teacher I'm not there. I'm thinking 'ref' but how could his teacher be the ref in that game? He wouldn't be allowed to ref his own home team - so it's probably a joke to go with Batty but then I can't make the teacher connection. Sorry, give up!

No good, Tony? The answer, of course, is that famous Argentinian ... Batty's Tutor! (Oh, dear ... sorry) :-) I notice the Baggies are 4/9 to be relegated from the Premiership this season, which doesn't surprize me. HOWEVER (I am the eternal optimist) we had an amazing defensive record last season and it looks like we have Ronnie Wallwork's signature in the bag, crucial cover for Michael Appleton who is out until Christmas. We need a creative midfielder and a striker (yes, I know, we probably need a lot more than that) but I also have high hopes of Jason Roberts, if he can remain injury-free. I think we will survive!

To misquote Bill Shankly, 'Get your resignation in first'. You're going down, get used to it now!
