Ah more soccer discussion around the office

Another question came from a soccer-neophyte about Brazil...why do all of the players only have one name? Pele wasn't named Pele, he was Edson Arantes something something.

So the questions were asked. Why don't other countries use their nicknames? Why is it only Brazil? For instance, instead of "LANDON DONOVAN!" we can say "PUBELESS!".
