    I always think Messi and Kaka are funny, but I guess everyone was familiar with them before the WC.

    Without equal the best name that has ever been involved in a world cup was Portugal's reserve goalkeeper called 'Quim'

    I reckon you're right there Carter. Though there was a lot of milage in our own David Seaman. Sadly the radio commentary that included the line, 'Seaman is dribbling out of the box" came in his QPR days and not on the bigger stage of the WC.

    just seen the baddiel and skinner 3 lions video.
    always laugh when the germans in the video all have KUNTZ on the back of their shirts.

    I remember KUNTZ and SHIDTZ both played for Germany in Euro 96.

    I also remember Marcel Bender who played for Belgium and South Korea's Mi Long Nob.

    I think it was Tony Gubba that got a bit carried away and gave it large

    'That was alet off, Seaman came flying out there'

    Surely the biggest joke name in the World Cup is Heskey.

    'Heskeeeeeeeeey, everything about Emile Heskeeeeeey

    'We don't even know what he's got, etc etc
