Terrific lol FM moment.

Okay, you know how many Brazilian, Portuguese and Spanish players are known only by their first names? Ronaldo, Ronaldhino, Raul, Deco, etc.?

Apparently, it wasn't programmed in that we don't really do that here in the States.

I discovered this when I, as Bundesliga club Wolfsburg, sent a scout to the U.S.A. to scout for talent. He came back with a young 20-year-old striker named just...

MIKE



(he's not really all that good, but I almost want to recruit him just to see "Mike" on the pitch with commentary)

In Hattrick, our USA national squad plays at Israel Friday. Israel has a player known only as "Cohen". They also have two other players on the squad with the last name.
