    Surely it should be Aah Zee then not Aah Zed!

    So the claim is that they're not saying "R" they're saying "AH"? Thanks for clearing that up.

    (Although I suspect some of them really are saying "R", possibly the ones still saying Jack Wiltshire.)

    The Dutch pronounce the last letter in the alphabet zed.

    It can be confusing if a Dutch or German person is spelling a word for you. Many years ago, I got on the wrong tram because I mistook AH for R . :biggrin:

    The club Youtube highlights have the whole move for the third goal:

    Not sure why TNT decided to start halfway through.

    It's not consistent though....eg surely it should either be Bayern Munchen or Bavaria Munich.

    It is Bayern München officially, Bayern Munich is a commonly used form though outside of Germany, especially in English speaking countries.
