It's just ridiculous how many professional footballers there are with surname Cissé in the world. At one point it seemed that every team in French league had at least two. I think it's fair to say that with surname Cissé, you have better than average chance of making it.

Lucas Leiva, doesn't sound like Brazilian footballer, doesn't look like Brazilian footballer. In fact, some would say that he doesn't sound or look like footballer regardless of nationality.
