That's cleared that up then. Some Americans pronounce noo- q- ler and I've never been able to work out how they get to that.
Who said that? I haven't heard that? I thought you were going to go with no-clear or something. These rednecks, ain't doin that English thang justice! please log in to view this image
Coates kept a clean sheet! Well for the 15 mins he played anyway. 3-2 Uruguay. Saurez helped in 2 of the goals.
I'm fairly certain that grammatically it should be Coates as in- coats as in -I'll get my ... Think about it. Your last name for example is James. You move to Mexico and have a child there. You give it a local name - I don't know, Francisco. If your child came back to England would people pronounce it "Francisco Ha-mez"? No his name would be Francisco James and that part at least wouldn't change. Same with Coates. Now how he prefers it pronounced is another thing.
I thought it was a German name? But I think we should pronounce it how he prefers to say it. It's like David and David....French and English pronunciations.
I think you'll find Sebastian is Greek in origin, although Saint Sebastian was a Roman soldier and eventually became the Patron Saint of Squaddies. I know, I should get out more.... GKRK.
