The guy's name is Iya Traoré, and he's from Guinea. Iya in pictures. He has been deleted twice from Wikipedia for being non-notable. He was briefly signed to PSG but they let the contract lapse; apparently he spent more time juggling than playing.

I figure he'd sign with Cirque du Soleil...seems like a better fit.

Is there a nice german word for something that is astounding, clearly hard to do, but still pretty boring and disinteresting?
