Skurril: Casemiro played his entire career under a false name

Brazilian football player Casimiro, known professionally as Casemiro, has played his entire career under a misspelled version of his first name. The error originated from his former club, FC Sao Paulo, which incorrectly wrote his name with an 'e' instead of an 'i'. Despite being informed of the mistake, Casimiro chose not to correct it due to superstitious beliefs, stating he would forever bear the name associated with his time at Sao Paulo. He clarified this in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica. Casimiro, who previously played for Real Madrid and won the Champions League five times, was recently without a club after his contract with Manchester United ended in June. Brazil is currently playing against Norway in a match aiming for a spot in the quarterfinals.
