GOAT this, GOAT that.
It's a bit simple.
And unfortunately not limited to football.

Re: Football Pet Hates
I don't mind commentators pronouncing players names as they're intended.
It's the inconsistency with country names that winds me up. Cote D'Ivoire and Cabo Verde but not Deutschland or Nippon

Re: Football Pet Hates
God if you knew how foreign players names should be pronounced you'd never get through a single game of football without punching the TV. I reckon commentators pronounce about 10% right.4evablu wrote: Sat Jul 11, 2026 1:15 pm AND ANOTHER ONE DOES MY SWEDED IN....commentators pronouncing foreign players names totally wrong...

Re: Football Pet Hates
The funny thing is that at the start of the season, the premier league gets the player to pronounce their name in front of the camera so that the commentators get it right.AjaxAndy wrote: Sun Jul 12, 2026 12:03 am God if you knew how foreign players names should be pronounced you'd never get through a single game of football without punching the TV.
