The Mispronounced XI

[Goataldo]

It still not nearly as bad as some of the clowns on Dutch TV. Yesterday the presenter in the studio started out by saying that Lindegaard was from Austria. He then went on to call us Manchester United a couple of times to end by saying '"Which one of the Nevile brothers did we just see in the stands? Was it Dennis?" The same senile fooker usually comments games as well and constantly mixes up Yaya, Mario and Micah. Every time a black city player has the ball he goes on about Yaya Toure.

Hahaha. To be fair that sounds so bad it'd be funny to watch!

The mispronunciations that made me piss myself laughing was when watching a Leicester vNorwich game in Denmark and the Danish pronunciations of "OV" and "Y" had the commentator saying ....DICKOW and HUCKERBOO.

Don't know how these pundits get jobs in the first place, you'd think they'd do the tiniest bit of "research" into the correct pronunciation.

Lazy.

They could just ask the player.

Over a series of years they post "How To..." questions on local community forums seeking career advice as well as feedback on topics from lesser-known "experts", wannabes, and never-weres until it's clear that, based upon their background, interests, work ethic and skill set that their only options for employment are:

1) IT
2) Food Stall ownership
3) Football Punditry
