As a football fan, I’m like the others, will give names to those football players and today I’m going to write about the nicknames given to players who is playing in this FIFA World Cup

1st: Claudemir Jeronimo Barretto or best known as “Cacau”

Guess what we call him??

“Cincau”

The scenario will be

Commentator :”Cacau SCORES!!!!!!!!!”

Supporter :”YAAAAAA!!!!!GOOOOOOALLLLLL!!CACAU!!!!”

If not

Commentator :”How did he miss that???!!!”

Supporter :”Bloody ‘cincau’, patut la xleh score, kaki lembik cam ‘cincau’, puik!”

2nd : Frank James Lampard

Lampard is an English player who plays for Chelsea and I guess everyone will know him well even those aunty grandma because he appears in Astro World Cup advertisement. Remember the little girl shouting her mum “Mak, ada mat salleh kat luar!!”

Guess what we call him?

“Lan pa” or which means testicle in Hokkien Dielect.

So the scenario will be

Commentor :”Frank Lampard scores a magnificent goal with his left foot!!!”

Spectator :”Wooot!!! Damn good man that guy”

If not

Commentor :”Ouch, it would have been an easy goal for Lampard but he misses it somehow”

Spectator :”Frank ‘LAN PA’ LA!!! YOU KICK WHAT ‘LAN PA’ BALL???!! SO EASY ALSO CAN MISS AHHH!!????”

3rd: Yakubu Aiyegbeni

Yakubu is a Nigerian footballer who plays for Everton

Ho Ho, this is my favourite.

Guess what we call him?

Yakubu “AIR MANI” which means “semen” in English

Be it he scores or misses a goal

We will still be calling him

Us :”WOOOOTT!!! AIR MANI SCORES!!!!!!!!!!”

Or
Us :”Fuck!!AIR MANI miss la!!!”

I remember yesterday during work, my colleague asked me

Him :”EH, Nigeria bagus tak?”

Me :”Memang bagus, ada Yakubu AIR MANI, beb”

But, believe it or not, few years ago, I saw Livescore mistakenly typed Yakubu Aiyegbani name as “Yakubu ABU BAKARI”

I was like, what!!??
I told my friend since when Yakubu converted to Muslim.

LoL

But
In our heart, he still always be our Sperm-man.

Well, at times we as a football fan, will get frustrated when the player from the team that we support can’t deliver. So with the spirit of FIFA World Cup 2010 South Africa, I present you one of the 3 nicknames that we have given to the players.

I believe out there will be a lot nicknames, so which player you already given him the nickname?

p/s: waiting for England – Algeria match, I bet Algeria will win by 1 goal, you believe or not? ‘lan pa’ is playing wor. Anyone with me? He he
