Character flaws

Yesterday afternoon I was half-watching the Russia-Greece match (Euro Cup 2008 is going on) and realized that the players' names were in Roman script - and only Roman script. That makes complete sense in the context of an international event, where the refs and spectators are much more likely to be Roman-script readers. But still, you'd think they would have put the players' names in their own scripts somewhere on the jersey.
