I wonder if Nike made Cristiano Ronaldo become number seven for marketing purposes. He was seventeen in previous tournaments if my memory serves me correctly.

Nothing to do with Nike remember there is no Luis Figo this time, so its normal for his heir apparent to take the number.

Is Kazim Kazim, Colin Kazim-Richards ?

Yep.

The c*nt can't even speak Turkish.

Why can't they chose any number they want? Why does it have to be 1-23?

The number 10 has seen some better days, very few of those players actually deserve to wear it.

That's because none of the participating teams actually plays with a 'real' #10. It's a dying species in 'modern' football unfortunately.

Del Piero should have worn it but he likes 7 with the national team.

Are you kidding me Goater? If anyone is deserving of the No. 10 shirt it's DDR. Totti gave him his blessing.
