Spelling Foreign Players Names Rights

it actually is very hard. I rely totally on my browser's built in spell check, and that doesn't know who snjei....shnei...... doesn't know who any of these guys are. let alone the difference between sissoko, sissokho and cissokho.

disrespectful... I'm sure they'll live!
 
i know, it bugs the hell out of me when fans can't spell Adebayour or Zabaleta. I know some of them are tricky but come on!!!
 
What about pronunciation of foreign players names? Uwe Rosler is the best example for me - it should be pronounced as 'oover rersler'.
In my opinion though, all foreign names that have an English equivalent (such as Thierry 'Henry') should be pronounced as the English version.
Aston Villa - Ricky Villa (not veeyah)

Michael is even easier, yet the amount of posters on here that can't (or won't) spell it correctly is staggering.
 
Does it really mattar if people spell Coradazo's name wrong? The fact is he is god awthul. Yeah, he might be doin well in the Portugeesse leage but last nite was enuff fur me to say a big NO to him.

Seriously. It's not hard, you're not all David Pleat and it's a tiny bit disrespectful.

For instance tonight alone I've seen for the poor Oscar Cardozo:

Cardoza
Cordoza
Cordozo
Cordazo

and for Wesley Sneijder:

Schneider
Shneider
Schneijder
Sjneider

please guys, spell 'em right?


alrights..:)

But does it really matter as long as we know who its supposed to be??

it's just it's a name, so people should make more effort.

If I start called you smarharis you'd think a) i was odd and was trying to annoy you.

i dont see the difference between that and those that are ignorant enough to carry on calling people the wrong name.
