The messing around with names world cup thread

[Kevin S]

I feel this is an established tradition now.

MOHAMMED SALAH "REE INCREASE" (EGY)
ALFRED "FLINTSTONE" FINNBOGASON (ISL)
LUIS ABRAM "LINCOLN" (PER)
and of course
CRISTIANO RONALDO "MCDONALDO" (POR)

[Bored Of Education]

Oh, I thought you meant messing around with our usernames. I am boycotting that.

[Kevin S]

Good point, hadn't accounted for that ambiguity. No, this is the thing that 'Stu' started 8 years ago.

"BITCH BETTER HAVE MY" MUNIR MOHAMEDI (MAR)
"FRANK" BRUNO ALVES (POR)
JEROME BOATENG "WEATHER" (GER)
JEFFERSON FARFAN "THE MADDING CROWD" (PER)

N est à winning this so far - very good (especially the last two). One of my proudest achievements as a journalist was to have Total Football magazine print a piece I wrote about the Bundesliga in the late 90s and not edit my entirely fabricated nickname for Sean 'Cake' Dundee.

"AND LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF IRISH AMERICANS WHO HAVEN'T BEEN BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY IN TWENTY OR THIRTY YEARS COME UP AND TALK TO ME ABOUT THE RESISTANCE, THE REVOLUTION BACK HOME, AND THE GLORY OF THE REVOLUTION, AND THE GLORY OF DYING FOR THE REVOLUTION. FUCK THE REVOLUTION! THEY DON'T TALK ABOUT THE GLORY OF KILLING FOR THE REVOLUTION. WHAT'S THE GLORY IN TAKING A MAN FROM HIS BED AND GUNNING HIM DOWN IN FRONT OF HIS WIFE AND KIDS? WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THAT? WHERE'S THE GLORY IN BOMBING A REMEMBRANCE DAY PARADE OF OLD AGE PENSIONERS, THEIR MEDALS TAKEN OUT AND POLISHED UP FOR THE DAY. WHERE'S THE GLORY IN THAT? TO LEAVE THEM DYING OR CRIPPLED FOR LIFE OR DEAD UNDER THE RUBBLE OF THE REVOLUTION, THAT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE IN MY COUNTRY DON'T WANT." NEYMAR! (BRA)

There's usually a seperate players in songs thread isn't there? Generally a less jocular affair than the stu memorial all-caps thread. Not many laughs there.
