          Dreams come true. Without that possibility, nature would not incite us to have them.

          My son Foster is a fan of soccer. He was a goaltender. His brother was a defenseman.

                Was bored so i looked it up, seems like he can't make his mind up...



                His name - one of the longest in European football - derives from the 17th century, when two farming families in the Enschede area of the Netherlands intermarried. Both the Vennegoor and Hesselink names carried equal social weight, and so - rather than choose between them - they chose to use both. "Of" in Dutch translates to "or" in English, which would mean that a strict translation of his name would read 'Jan Vennegoor or Hesselink'.[2] This could be considered as having the same effect as the double-barrelling of English surnames.

                Oh, and i was very bored, sooo...

                    here's my favourite names:

                    Danger Fourpence – Caps United, Zimbabwe
                    Dean Windass - old fart who playes for anyone
                    David Seaman - arsenal jizz meister
                    Segar ******* was a former referee - total ******* so im led to beleive
                    People who think there's no good way to die have obviously never heard the phrase 'Drug-fuelled-sex-heart-attack'.

                        From the Guardian:

                        "I remember Franco Foda, a three-time German Cup winner with Kaiserslautern, Leverkusen and Stuttgart between 1990 and 1997 and now head coach of Austrian team SK Sturm Graz," writes Florian. "Despite his success elsewhere he only played twice for Germany, making his debut away to Brazil in December 1987. Obviously this would usually be a great honour, but not so much in Foda's case. He came on as a substitute with eight minutes to go, emerging to howls of laughter from the stands as his name went up on the scoreboard. Franco foda, sadly, means "****ing for free" in Portuguese. Brazil's players may have been distracted a bit, too: Stefan Reuter snatched an equaliser in the 90th minute."
