exp086 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Some might call this extremely picky, but does anyone else find it intensely annoying when the made up regen names never seem to be a good match for the the supposed nationality of the player? Maybe we can make a good thread of it. List the name and nationality of the top misfits from your game below, mine are; Rosario Gonzalez Fernandez - Dutch Morgan Schneiderlin - French Mario Di Rosa - German Andy Wilson - French (lol) Also we can include the most annoyingly repeated regen surnames; mine are all french: Chevalier (3 in senior squad) David (3 in senior squad) Simon (3 in U21 squad) Dubois (3 in U21 and 5 (!!) in U19) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScouseFromTheSouth Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Schneiderlin is a real player. He's at Southampton, but turns into an awesome holding midfielder (at least he did on the older patch, not seen him on 9.3.0). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hershie Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Schneiderlin is from Strasbourg so it's not that weird. The others are a tad odd, but I mean look at the German and the Australian national teams, for a start. Australia have Viduka, Theoklitos, Pondeljak, Vargas, Elrich, Galekovic, Vukovic, Bresciano...

I believe the reason for that is likely to be that Australia is an extremely popular place for emigration, people will move there from all corners of the earth, have kids, and then as they were born in the country, are eligible to play for them.

charlo116 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Yep, although I think quite a bit of it is emigration FROM there too. Seems everyone wants to be in Australia but the Australians. If I remember rightly, they called someone up fairly recently whose first language wasn't English. I have no idea who you're talking about but that could be the case for other teams. For example, Amauri looks like he is going to play for Italy even though his first language isn't Italian. The reason for so many Australian players having distinctly different surnames is because of the multiculturalsm and the majority of the football community is based around migrants from countries that have a strong football history, Crotia is just one example. I know someone who plays for Sydney United (part time australian team) and he says that the coach is crotian along with a number of the players there so the coach speaks to those players in croatian.

grahamf Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Rosario Gonzalez Fernandez - Dutch Morgan Schneiderlin - French Mario Di Rosa - German Andy Wilson - French (lol) Di Rosa isn't that odd as quite a few people have mixed German/Italian or Swiss heritage.

BenArsenal Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ah yes. One thing that annoys me greatly. Singapore regens often (nay, always) seem to have 'hybrid' names of Malay and Chinese, like Mohamad Ong, Faizal Tan etc. A Malay given name plus a Chinese surname. While yes, Singapore is a multiracial country with Chinese, Malays and Indians, we do not name people like that even in cross-cultural marriages. If a Chinese marries a Malay for example, the offspring will usually take on one or the other, and never a hybrid name. It's something that they really need to work on.

jayahr Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Using Schneiderlin as an example is pure class Have you checked if those players have a second nationality?

heathxxx Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I have often hoped to find a regen bearing the name Juan Kerr, obviously of mixed Latino-Irish descent. Clearly he would also have annoying character traits to suit the name. There have been some classic Korean names in real life, Ho Bum Fuk springs to mind. Talk about a commentators nightmare - I've yet to find any that have matched that as regens though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
