Cacau. A big fan of confectionary.
I am almost literally speechless. I warned you all that this would happen and it’s only gone and happened; VFB Stuttgart striker Cacau is called Cacau – not because it’s his name in any way but because… wait for it… he likes chocolate. He is, unsuprisingly, Brazilian and his real name is actually Claudemir Jeronimo Barretto.
These imbeciles have to be stopped. By any means possible. I mean; A love of chocolate? Come on! Wayne Rooney would have to have Pie on the back of his shirt. John Terry would have My Mates Missus and Ronaldo, well Ronaldo would be able to keep his own name back there because he loves nothing more.
I realise that for some of these Brazilians their names are almost unpronouncable – and there are usually nineteen of them – so they change it to something easier, but Barretto isn’t so bad. It’s certainly no tongue-twister. All commentators should insist on using footballer’s given names. Especially Shay Given.
I am making a stand and ask all other CheekyOneTwo readers to do the same. This must stop and the next footballer who decides to advertise his love of food on the back of his shirt is for the high jump. Or we’ll force them to play for Portsmouth as punishment. One or the other.
