NYCFC Player Nicknames

[Shwafta]

My friend and I refer to Sean Johnson as Jean (Pronounced John, duh) Seanson because it's hilarious when you say it out loud.

That sounds like a character from Parks and Recreation.

#Sweatinho is catching on at Twitter.

I think they are just adding the Portuguese diminutive suffix "inho" which a fair number of soccer players have as part of their names. I believe it is being done with a blend of irony and affection -- as in he's no Ronaldinho or Coutinho but he's our "inho," or something like that..

For who? Surely not CBA?

Did you see CBA hanging out in the Dallas half with less than five minutes to go? Rodney Wallace was covering him at left back. I mean there is a time to push and overlap but not in the final minutes protecting a lead.

sadly they don't look at all alike, lol.

Added "Dome" for Domènec Torrent. If anyone comes across any others, just let me know.

We're working on a pineapple riff but it probably won't catch on.

You are my pineapple
My pretty pineapple
You came to New York when times were gray
You'll never know just how much we love you
And we'll never know quite how to say your name

Domé dome domé domé
Domé
Domé
...

"If you like Pina Coladas, well we brought one from Spain
If you´re not into long balls, then the answer is plain
If you like keeping hold of the football, you’ll be glad that he came
Yes it’s Dome that you´ve looked for, you’ll be glad that he came”

Thanks! Already had that listed, but added the video to make it more official since Domè was the one that said it.

Should we add "Pretty Pineapple" for Dome? Or is that more of an inside joke?

It's not a nickname for Dome. We didn't call Vieira, "Quite Really Pleased".

I don't know how for Jonathan Lewis the following haven't been added...

JLew
Jona (or Jonah)

Valentin Castellanos - Taty
Alexander Ring - Ringleader

Valentin Castellanos - Taty
Alexander Ring - Ringleader

Added! Do these work:

• Valentin Castellanos - Taty (previous nickname)
• Alexander Ring - Ringleader (play on his name since he often distributes and dictates the play)

Tried looking where "Taty" came from or what it means without luck.

I would think just putting it as "called so by teammates and coach" would make more sense, since we have no idea where it came from, and the first we hear of it is Lewis and Dome saying it
