American Fox Soccer was running some blurb about the CL final for a month before the event: the breathless puker doing the voice-over orgasmed "Mewww-neck" again and again.
neck ffs!

If it was a daily conversation between an average joe, then fine. .but when commentators get it wrong it is just a joke. Surely a part of there JOB is to pronounce the name correctly, when millions of people are tuning in, listening. It is pure laziness, because it is so easily researched!
The Latest one is Casillas, pronouncing it as CASS I ASS. Come on, how long has he been about now, sort it out.
Sorry, but ll is pronounced like that in Spanish

At the risk of being clarkied, that's the correct Spanish pronunciation of his name...
Noooo not sure where you get this from? The correct pronunciation is CA SIYAS.

V's in Spanish are B's. Double L's are Y's.
Our Dave's surname should be pronounced Silba.
So its Bictor Baldes and not Victor Valdes ??
With the 'th' not quite pronounced like a Spanish Z but not quite like a D.

They have been pronouncing Jakub Błaszczykowski (Poland captain) almost correct.
In Polish a "ł" is our "w".
So it's Bwatzszikovski.<br /><br />-- Sun Jun 17, 2012 8:25 pm --<br /><br />

Balti said:julian lescott would not be happy
A lad sent me an e-mail recently saying he would like to write for the Cutter.
Took an instant dislike to him because of his cocky nature - basically telling me I needed someone with his knowledge and how he would improve the site.
I asked for an example of his work and he said he'd write a piece from scratch about England.
In the first paragraph - 'Julian Lescott....'
Binned.
