What's in a name?
Attitude!
Soccer experts strongly encourage coaches and players
choose real soccer team names to name their own teams after. It
exposes them to the real soccer world outside of the local club
and it encourages them to "think soccer", "act soccer"
and strive for the ideal soccer techniques.
From the old North American Soccer League (NASL):
Sting, Rowdies, Aztecs, Cosmos, Tornado.
From the English Premier League:
Arsenal/ "Gunners",
West Ham United/ "Hammers" ,
Tottenham "Hotspur"
Probably the most famous clubs in the world
are Real Madrid, Bayern Muenchen and Manchester United.
*Note* Many of the international teams do not have translatable
nicknames.
