10 Great Football Names
| I was watching a Sevilla match recently, and was inspired by Duscher (pronounced Douché!) to list some funny footballer names.
The rules are simple: The footballer must have a Wikipedia entry, and his name must be funny for a 12-year old English speaker to say out loud. |
 Aldo Duscher |
So here they are:
 Aldo Duscher Aldo Duscher, currently plays for Sevilla FC. This is the Duscher who started my quest to find giggly footballer names. |
 Andrei Arshavin Andre Arshavin, who, appropriately, plays for ARSEnal. Good thing he’s Russian, ’cause with a name like Arse-Shavin’, he would have had a horrible childhood in England. This guy must be on any list of funny soccer names. |
 Nicolas Douchez Yes, another Douchez. This Douchez is French. Another funny footballer name for sure. Douchez! Douchez! Douchez! |
 Kaká Kaká is only funny in English, ’cause if you speak Portuguese or some other language that uses accents, Kaká sounds different than Kaka. But hey, Kaká is still a funny name. It’s short for Ricardo. |
 Stefan Kuntz Stefan Kuntz is another footballer who would not have survived a childhood in an English-speaking country without psychological trauma. The German footballer is now a sporting director for VfL Bochum. |
 Rafael Scheidt Rafael Scheidt is an obvious funny name, even if you mispronounce it. Maybe it’s funnier with a German accent. |
 Milan Fukal Milan Fuckal is a Czech Footballer who plays for Austrian team Kapfenberger SV, which is also a funny team name. So what does he contribute to his team’s performance? Fukal. |
 Brian Pinas Brian Pinas. Teeheehee. Pinas! You can imagine the nicknames this Dutch footballer would have had on an English-speaking team. |
 Uwe Fuchs Tee Hee Hee! Uwe Fuchs is a German footballer who now manages Wuppertaler SV Borussia. He did play in England for a couple of teams in the mid-90s. Imagine the chants! |
 Bernt Haas Finally, Bernt Haas is a Swiss footballer who currently plays for FC St. Gallen. He also spent a couple of years in England with West Brom. I guess the constant giggling over his name finally got to him and he moved back to Switzerland. |
Others:
- I wonder if the fans chant “Chung Yoo Suk!” when he is on the field? I couldn’t find a photo of Chung Yoo Suk. So I couldn’t include him on the list. Too bad. What an awesome name.
- Francisco Arce, a Paraguayan footballer, is also known as Chiqui Arce. While it’s a really funny name, the wikipedia page doesn’t mention his nickname, so he’s stuck in the honourable mention list. Besides, I think he recently retired.
- I couldn’t find a good photo of Christ Bongo. A Google Images search of that term just turns up photos of Rastafarians playing bongos.
You had a good experience with the TSA! I regularly travel to the states for conferences etc. and you wouldn't believe how often I spend 10 minutes explaining to them just what it is I'm doing. Bleh.
What I absolutely loved was the experience in Frankfurt, Germany, while boarding the flight for the USA.
Passengers go through the usual security screening when entering the security area of the airport. Then passengers who are boarding USA-bound flights have to endure another more detailed screening, and it involves a really long lineup. This is because the TSA insists on additional screenings for USA-bound passengers. Apparently the screening that is used for all other passengers isn't good enough.
Anyway, what is really sweet about this big lineup and the frustration it causes is being able to say to people in the lineup — "this is what you get for voting for Bush." Zing!
