Pimpong without s shadow of a doubt. Everytime he was mentioned the other day, I had visions of a Table Tennis bat on the pitch

I picked Vennegor of Hesselink, just because everytime I hear he's in the team lineup, I expect to see a guy on a horse in a full suit of armor playing up front for Holland.
I think Seb Schweinsteiger for Germany has the silliest name though - it translates to "Sebastien Pig Lifter". I bet his wife enjoys that name!
