Whatever Mick. Getting boring now with you trying to pick holes. You'd swear I've something to gain out of it and you're trying to angle the rules. Anyway not interested anymore. Shit is more hassle than it's worth when I'm only trying to give people some interest and gaining nothing from it myself. No internet access on the bus. Will worry about it when the tournament is over if it comes to it.

Kids name is Rodriguez, that's what pops up on all the live reports/scoring sites, you angling cunts
Edit: everyone of them list him as Rodriguez. Live score, sky sports centre, live score addicts, flash score, Goal.com.

The rule was surname. This is the problem.
His name is James David Rodríguez Rubio. He is simply known as James.
Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior is simply known as Neymar.
There is plenty more examples, some on this thread.
The Surname rule doesn't work if Neymar isn't classified as ''S''. Shouldn't be one rule for one and not for another. This wouldn't be happening if he was a superstar of the game, everyone would just call him James and not think twice about it.
Ask Megatron to ask some Bookie rulemakers opinion and go with that.

FWIW I never heard of this guy before the tournament (I may as well be Satnav here) and I would say the name is Rodriguez.
My friend backed him pre tourney (Big footy fan) and said I have backed "Rodriguez" from Colombia. He knew who he was and used Rodriguez. All the commentary so far has used Rod and its not the same as Neymar IMO. As said above all team listings use Rodriguez... its clear cut to me.
I'm mostly just commenting to say give Tony a fucking break. He is clearly not angling and what he says should go. He has organised multiple things like this in order to give the rest of us a sweat and gets nothing for it.

Only Mick is winding up FD. If I was involved I'd be happy to have him make a ruling tbh.

On the other hand they use RODRIGUEZ on their Top Scorer page, which arguably could be the fairest way to decide it.

I didn't plan on even replying back here, but after people coming on saying CHD was right, i don't agree.

In all the World Cup markets, he's listed as J.Rod, James Rodriguez, but i've not seen James. For the Brazilians, it's their Neymar, Fred, Jo, Oscar names that are listed.
Originally posted by CHD View PostIt is like Neymar. It's exactly like Neymar. Commentary has said James. His jersey has always had James. FIFA have been using James and Rodriguez. If he was a superstar like Neymar it would be different so really it is all James Rodriguez' fault

Interesting one this.
I think fwiw, using Brazilians as comparisons isn't the right way to go about things. Brazilians specifically are accepted for 'being known' as a certain name (be it nickname, surname, first name, bit of a first name, few letters thrown together, a superhero etc). That Brazilian standard is not evident for any other nationality, so comparing to Neymar etc isn't fair imo.

FD fwiw I'd call it Rodriguez in this.
I'll keep it simple, I'm sure your head is wrecked with this but the James side has a point. I did say it was interesting first then posted my opinion. As I've said, Your call is good here and I'd be happy if involved, but the James side has a valid argument.
I'm not in this so I'll shut up.
What I'm trying to say is I wasn't attacking FD. FU eoghan
I'm also saying the surname rule is retarded and wrong.Last edited by CHDad; 01-07-14, 01:48.
