I'd guess that's a spot on medium.Hey guys, I wanna buy some Adelaide crows playing shorts but unsure on sizing. I need to purchase for approximately a size 34-36. What size should I go for? Anybody with personal experience? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Suso had Suso on his kit when he was playing with us in 2012/13 though his name is Jesús Joaquín Fernández Sáez de la TorreA question that has been plaguing me for a while, albeit a round ball question, which is probably easily answered on some Manchester Bandwagon board somewhere or by approaching someone on the street in any Asian city...
Why is Javier Hernandez allowed to play in the English Premier League with "Chicharito" on his back? Chicharito is a nickname, it means Chick Pea. His surname is Hernández Balcázar, as such, in the World Cup, he plays with "Hernandez" on his shirt.
I don't get it. Perhaps he gets away with it because it is not in English. I'm sure that if an English player decided they wanted to be known as "Lentil" or "Mad Dog" or some other daft nickname, he would not be allowed that on his shirt, either in the Premier League or the World Cup.
(On the other hand, the Brazilians are allowed nicknames on their shirts during the World Cup, and even daft ones such as Hulk, who is named after the cartoon character, but my understanding of that it is because of the Spanish/Portugese tradition of having two surnames, one from each parent, meaning most are too long to even fit on a shirt.) The question I really would like answered is Chicharito, as it is the only example I can remember of a nickname in the Premier League.
It's a cultural thing, it's important to them as individuals and to the culture of the whole country. When Portugal colonised the country, they took with them the ill-fitting notion of four names. Obviously, it's pretty convoluted. Considering most people grow up poor there, persisting with a long name is probably a difficult thing. It's also a big part of who you are – you take your dad's name, in some areas you merge your parents names, sometimes it's indicative of where you grew up or what job you have...A question that has been plaguing me for a while, albeit a round ball question, which is probably easily answered on some Manchester Bandwagon board somewhere or by approaching someone on the street in any Asian city...

I wanna know why he doesn't just put Chickarita on the back instead.A question that has been plaguing me for a while, albeit a round ball question, which is probably easily answered on some Manchester Bandwagon board somewhere or by approaching someone on the street in any Asian city...

It's pretty offensive to discount someone's name because it sounds like funny
To mock that because you don't understand it is pretty rich.
I wish I could speak the English language with that immense vocabulary.This "holier than thou" political correctness and the latent aggression that comes with it as espoused by Silent Alarm is a cancer on Australia and Australians.
Surely the word "espoused" or the words "latent aggression" aren't that hard for you to plonk into general conversation.I wish I could speak the English language with that immense vocabulary.
I dunno. You might sound like thisSurely the word "espoused" or the words "latent aggression"aren't that hard for you to plonk into general conversation.

Not enough big words, see me after class.I love how you used a multitude of words to make a meritorious point.
If this is the way you think, I'm happy you don't like me.Since the "invasion/s" happened ca. 600 years ago, I imagine most modern-day Brazilians and Mexicans are, after so many generations, well and truly already a mix of native South American and European.

Can I assume that had DiamondSupply never said the word "daft" in his original post that you would have answered politely?
