What's in a name

Poor old Fenerbahce were completely stuffed in the Champions League the other night and finished at the bottom of the table. Better than a couple of years ago when they didn't manage to get a single point in the group stage... but still.

The reason why I'm writing this little report is to share a very interesting line I read from a Reuters story in the Turkish Daily News today on another Champions League match.

"Unbeaten French side Olympique Lyon confirmed their staus as group winners with a 2-1 win over Rosenborg Trondheim thanks to a stoppage-time strike from another Brazillian, Fred."

Now I can take having to describe people like Pele, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho etc by just one name but Fred doesn't have quite the same ring to it Im afraid.
