"Giallorossi" (Roma)

I always thought their nickname was "gli stronzi".
There is only one team who are the REAL Giallorossi and that is Messina! :strong:

 

Another clubs that I know about thei nicknames are Lazio (Biancocelesti), Juventus (Bianconerri), Internazionale Milan FC (Nerrizurri), Manchester United (Red Devil), Valencia CF (Che ?), Deportivo de la Coruna (Super Depor).

Actually Juventus has another nicknames "La Vecchia Signora"
which can be translated as "big madam" or what.

Hmm, I am not sure about this one, but occasionally people tends to call Leeds United as "Young Guns".

 

Leon (Mexico) Panzas Verdes = Green Bellies !!!!
ColoColo (Chile) Albos=White Ones Cacique=Indian Chief El Eterno Campeon+Eternal Champs
Universidad de Chile (Chile) Chunchos= Owls
America (Mex) Aguilas= Eagles

 

Brazilian Nicknames - Part 1

Well, here go some of Brazil's club nicknames...

Botafogo - O Glorioso (The Glorious); Cachorrada (Dog Pack, because in the '50s we had a real dog as the team's mascot)
Atletico Mineiro - Galo (Rooster)
Cruzeiro - Raposa (Fox)
Vasco da Gama - Bacalhau (Codfish - because the club was founded by the Portuguese colony)
Flamengo - Urubu (Vulture - IMO an awesome "know thyself" self-awareness thing, but it's probably some other reason )

There are others - particularly São Paulo nicknames - but I'll let Ze da Fiel have the pleasure of explaining these. Who would be better qualified to translate "Coringão"?

 

Milan - Rossonerro

 

I'm not sure about that, Il Toro, But well, anything goes!

La Vecchia Signora means "The Old Lady". Don't know why JUVE has such a nickname, though.

Some others:
Inter: Nerazzurri
Parma: Gialloblu (I think)
Fiorentina: Viola
Liverpool: Reds

And of the supporters is FIEL = The Loyal or Gaviao mainly because of the biggest and most famous faction which i'm a member Gavioes da Fiel , which is a Hawk.


SAO PAULO - Tricolor , mailny cause of the 3 colors they have.
fans of other clubs call them "Po de arroz" (rice powder) or Bicharada (gays) mainly because thre fans are mainly from upper class.

PALMEIRAS:yuck: :yuck: :yuck: :nasty: = Palestra = mainly cause the club used to be called Palestra Italia but had to change it's name during the war. Also known as PORCADA = PIGS in the 50's after Corinthians fans put this nickname after an incident when a Corinthians player died and the only club not to allow the club to put another player in its place was Palmeiras...so they were labelled the piggies. In 86 due to an immense inferiority complex they started chanting PORCO = pig in the stands, assuming there role as scums

SANTOS = PEIXE = fish. Well if you look at Santos's mascot you probably think it is a whale instead of a fish, but go and figure out. Other fans also call them VIUVAS DO PELE (Pele's widow's) or BALEIA AIDETICA (Aidetic Whale, in reference to the city being the one in the country that has most AIDS cases) and some other ones that i cannot think of right now!
