You've made me laugh now... :-) Can't wait to see if Quim will take a beard or will go to Germany shaved... Anyway, "Valente" means brave. I guess everybody knows what "Petit" means. "Pauleta" is also a nickname and I imagine it meaning something like a stick. "Figo" is his real surname and it means fig, a fruit. "Boa Morte" literally means "Good Death". I ran out of names from which something funny can be made. Feel free to comment and/or let your imagination go loose... ;-) Wendall… You’ve made me laugh now… :-)

And yes, the headlines are too many to contemplate... "Quim not welcome in dressing room" "Scolari says no to Quim" "Quim envelops the ball in a great save" It’s pronounced Qwim. And yes, the headlines are too many to contemplate…

“Quim not welcome in dressing room”

“Scolari says no to Quim”

“Quim envelops the ball in a great save”
