It is things like this that turn off some from soccer. We speak American English and not Brit-English. We are two different countries that happen to have a common tongue. Let us not have very small differences like these keep us from enjoying the game we love.

Seriously, why get worked up about pronounciation in a dogs breakfast language that is english? There are more exceptions than rules.

You have the nerve to complain about how they pronounce Premier, but NOT that's it's not called Fox Football Channel, like it should be? What's wrong with you, man?

The powers that be need to learn from Australia and change the damn name. I'd accept “world football” or even “foot-BALL” (accent on second syllable). Anything but what it's currently called. I DO NOT want to associate football with moms driving her kids around in a minivan.

If you want to complain about anyone mispronouncing then have a pop at GolTV. They continuely pronounce all Spanish and Italian teams and words perfectly but continuely drop bloopers like ‘Ass Villa’ , ‘Tootnam’ and even heard them say ‘Wayne Rowney’ (but i suppose that can be excused seeing as Sven finds it impossible to say Rooney as well lol).

This was stupid. There is only 1,000 more words like this. Take “united” for example. Us Americans say “uni-ted”, while Brits say “unite-ed”.

I was going to start reading this blog, but after that so-called article? Hell no stupid.
