This post will look into a couple of football teams that have interesting nicknames given to them back in the day.
A relatively small football team in the leading division of the Spanish league has just about the most funny nicknames in world soccer, but it is a name that the team holds dear. Los Pepineros, which translates to ‘the cucumbers’ play in one of the suburbs of Madrid. The area was its own community a number of years earlier and it was where a lot of the commercial farmers that worked in the area lived and, of course, they chiefly farmed cucumbers. The comical name doesn't suggest the team itself is any sort of joke, as the Leganés owner would attest, the club has made a significant range of funds since establishing itself in the profitable Spanish leading league. The team and the town have come a long way since their cucumber farming times.
Italian soccer is world today popular, but some of the names of the teams will not be so known. About the most famous sides to ever perform in Italy through the 90’s was likewise known as the Rossoneri or Diavolo, the former means the red and blacks, while the latter means The Devil. The first label has relatively clear connotations, which is of course from the colours of their home strip. The new AC Milan owner has taken over a club well-known for its significant football teams, but likewise for its iconic football strip. The kit, which is corresponding to the football club logo, is made up of vertical black and red stripes with white shorts. The shirt hasn't changed too much over recent years, contrary to some other teams, which has helped to allow it to become so recognisable all around the world. The success of the club as one of the best football clubs in Europe has helped to circulate the sales of the shirt to each corner of the world.
Argentina has just about the most popular international sides, which includes probably the very best footballer of all time, but the domestic league is less best known. There is one very competitive derby in the league, but that is not the only interesting thing in the league; one of the teams, which plays in La Plata, is known as ‘The Rat Stabbers’. The unusual name originates from the fact there is a prominent medical school in the city where they would test on rats in the past. This name must be the oddest there is, but the team is really one of the most effective and they even have a ground that can hold more people than many premier league clubs. The club has won the South American top club competition four times which makes it one of the best teams in Argentina, some thing the Estudiantes de La Plata owner would be exceptionally proud of.
