England v Holland. 29.3.2016. Wembley

[The Cowboy]

Has he legally changed his name?

If not, no, he shouldn't respect it, as his surname is Depay.

Should Pele be known as Nascimento?

 

[The Mighty Quint]

I fear you're going to be disappointed mate

It'll be hard getting out the group stages now wearing a kit like that.

 

[KaiserEFC]

If I was the kind of Stella swinging, bulldog tattooed, EDL sympathising nutter who bought England shirts I'd be horrified by that abomination.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Yes. The one on the back of his shirt.

Was never an issue for about 100 years worth of Brazilians to go by one name (and usually a nickname at that).

He's not Brazilian though

 

[The Cowboy]

Bit weird telling people you've changed your surname like. Never a fan of these players wanting to be called by their first names lol

Normally I would agree but that's usually just them trying to create a brand.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Should Pele be known as Nascimento?

Yes mate

But at least its in his nations culture to do so

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

has the jarg jock been banned again?

 

[The Cowboy]

He's not Brazilian though

And why should they get special dispensation?

 

[The Mighty Quint]

Right I've seen enough, get Alli and Dier on for the two RS's stinking the midfield out.

Brazilian naming conventions are completely different, where nicknames are basically formal names.

That's not the case for Depay's culture. If he wants a different name, he should legally get one. Until then, his name is what it is.

 

[Tubey]

Also, England's kits this year are disgusting.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Nothing wrong with young Memphis wanting to go by just his first name if he hates his dad like, but there's no reason to be all high and mighty about Clive Tyldsley not knowing

Seems a punk move to have a go at him for that to be honest

I certainly didn't know that Memphis did it for that reason

 

[Jags..class]

Right I've seen enough, get Alli and Dier on for the two RS's stinking the midfield out.

It's madness that milner is the captain.

 

[FOXINPEACE]

Milner looks gash!

 

[ToffeeTim]

Drinkwater never gonna be good enough at this level. On the other hand his absolutely sensational partner in crime has scored for France.
