Watching the games here in Costa Rica has meant I have heard some great nicknames for players that people have in this part of the world. So I thought I would keep a list of the nicknames of some players who have appeared in this World Cup and see if anyone can guess who is who…
There may be a prize for the first person to get the most correct…
Apache
Jefecito
Puma
Conejo
El Niño
Chicharito
Gringo
Pulga
Pulga
Chupete
El Niño Maravilla
