    Well - not quite - but was a bit bored during Arg/Hol 1st half and got to thinking ........ Brazil have a famous racehorse in their squad, so how many other cases can be made in the world cup squads. These are what I came up with - feel free to add your own.
    Or not!

    Dante (Dante)
    Oscar (Whisky)
    Robben (Hood)
    (Fruity O) Rooney
    Fred (o)
    Dirk Kuyt (o Star)
    Van Persie (Van Percy)
    and erm ... Frank(el) Lampard ..... scraping the barrel with that one?
    If so Lahmstaara is really stretching it!
    Perhaps you'd like my greyhound .... Mick the Muller <laugh>

    A bit old, in fact dead... that's the horse not Bobby.
    Charlton (well named by Charlottesville out of Ibrox.... well fairly well named).

    Fruity O'Rooney had me looking up Slim Gaillard, who used lyrics like that in nearly all his songs.

    The captain of the side would surely be Jack WILSHIRE BOULEVARD. With supporting roles from old boys Robert PIRES and Ray &#8216;THE ROMFORD PELE&#8217; Parlour.

    Hmmmm - the point of them being in the world cup squads seems to have been overlooked ... Bobby Charlton indeed!

    and .. Go Nani Go
