That's the problem when your team demises in front of your eyes, hence why England has lost a lot of support or interest across the country.

I was over in Utrecht in 2012 when you played Germany and the atmosphere was utterly amazing. Put the English support to shame!
Only a very small part of the issues I have with the Dutch national team. An enormous hatred of the Dutch FA, severe lack of patriotism and the fact I despise the so called Orange legion (dressed up morons) play a much bigger part.
 

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.
Does the nickname thing extend beyond the football pitch? I always assumed it was just a sporting name.

Depay is from Ghanaian descent, maybe they have a funky naming convention too.

Yep, generally used all over the shop - former president was named Lula.
