Schmelzer...

"schmelzen" actually means "melting", so Schmelzer is the one that melts something. Whatever - he does not bring me to melt...

Domenico Tedesco (The Italian word for German) actually is an Italian born in Italy on a Thursday not a Sunday (Domenica=Italian for Sunday)

Alessandro Costacurta - was a youth product so he cost Milan nothing

Cha Bum-Kun - this would be news to Aguero

Francesco Toldo - never told us anything

Gianluigi Buffon - bit harsh, you don't have a 2 decade career at the highest level by being a buffoon

Rigobert Song - if one exists I don't know the lyrics

Steven Caulker - maybe he was really good at retiling a bathroom but I see no evidence of that

Mikael Lustig (Funny) = Mikael is not funny.
Caroline Seger (Victory) = She missed the decisive penalty in the Olympics final so she is a loser.
Andreas Granqvist (Pine Tree Branch) = Andreas is not a tree although he sometimes looks to be stuck.
Bastian Schweinsteiger (Pig Mounter) = I hope Bastian doesn't mount pigs.


Arjen Robben (Seal) = He really is a diving seal.
Mohamed Salah (Prayer) = He really is a praying man.
Mohammed Al Hakim (The Judge/Referee) = Referee in Sweden, really is the judge/referee.

Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink is clearly both Vennegoor and Hesselink, yet his name implies we have to choose.

Claudio Gentile has the record for most fouls in one World Cup game. He fouled Maradona 23 times in their encounter in 1982 — and wasn't even booked!
Needs explanation i think. Gentile means kind

Gentile, person who is not Jewish. The word stems from the Hebrew term goy, which means a “nation,” and was applied both to the Hebrews and to any other nation. The plural, goyim, especially with the definite article, ha-goyim, “the nations,” meant nations of the world that were not Hebrew.

Milan Fukal… actually pretty accurate because tarter being linked to some known clubs that’s pretty much what his career amounted too

Rod Fanni…. He’s not not a rod and stands up for himself


Lara Bender…. there’s only one bender and that’s Neil’s dad.
