I don't speak a speck of Spanish so I don't even know what El Duque means...

I heard during the game the other day that his father was a very sharp dresser and they called him "El Duque," The Duke. The nickname was passed on to his son.

I think El Duque means The Duke, which is just a high titleish name, I suppose.

I'm pretty sure El Pulpo means ocutpus, seeing as though Alfonseca has some extra fingers

El Guapo should have been El Gordo. Whoever was in charge of nicknames must have just gotten their translations mixed up.

Yeah, "Pulpo" means squid.

I thought it was hilarious that they called the big, fat slob "El Guapo."
