Pet hate of mine is English commentators saying certain names with stupid twangs.

Today’s example:
Jonathan Tah. Now we all know how to pronounce Jonathan.

Steve Wilson however chooses to pronounce the guy’s name as “Yon-ah-ten”.

Just **** off, mate.

I think it’s pronounced as Yonathan rather than Jonathan though. I don’t mind them doing it when it’s correct. Much better than the likes of Paul Merson butchering any surname that has more than 2 syllables

Oh it probably is to be fair but English blokes trying to pronounce names with a twang that already have an English variant just sounds mad to me.

Same with James and “Hamez”.
Eden and “Aydan”.
Bunch of others too.

As for Merson, he just butchers everything he does, especially the booze.

That was a beauty. Some lovely goals already in the tournament. Been a superb opening week or so for the most part.

Billy Gilmour's an odd player. Always seems to graft and passes well, but doesn't get much recognition.
I assume he's doing something wrong somewhere down the line, but I can't really place it.
Never scores and doesn't get many assists, I guess.

Neat and tidy player but doesn’t influence the game enough up the top end of the pitch.

Tierney's a good defender, but he's made out of balsa wood.
Hope that's not as bad as it looks though, obviously.
 
Much improved from the first game and they're still in it. Hungary aren't ****, though.
