Just a pity it's on ITV. I really hope someone gets Tyldesley a pronunciation guide before Friday so he learns that the player of the tournament so far is called Hames not Jaymes.
Isn't that how we pronounce the letters j-a-m-e-s?

I don't pronounce Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrards name the way they do either

He probably doesn't pronounce his surname rod-ree-gez either

They've never won a KO game at the WC before have they? Can't help but be nervous in that scenario.
True. Credit to the way Uruguay fought for scraps but it was Colombia's nerves that bought them back into the match.

People will say Colombia haven't really played anyone yet, but the two goals they scored today are goals against any opposition. May not have been a great game but has led to a potentially great quarter-final.

They usually get the Spanish pronounciation of Jesus right, James is no different.

Yep, fair point - and I suppose it's doubly important to keep something in reserve when you're playing against a side who've experienced the physical exhaustion of playing 120 minutes and the mental exhaustion of going through a penalty shoot out.
Is it next Friday when they meet? Of course a fair recovery time if so but not so much recovery for Colombia. I'm for any team that plays fairly and well.

Good game. Right result. Neat dance moves. Adrian changed out of his awful shorts, shirt and sandals - no Adrian, NO! James is easy on the eye. Looking forward to Friday.

Ok. So back in the day, how did we pronounce the surname "Gullit"?

We pronounce some peoples names they way they do in their language, but most we don't. We just used an anglicised version

The way we say every Brazilians name is wrong for a start

Question for those who know far more about these things than I do: If Falcao was fit, would Rodriguez still play as first choice?

They'd both have played, they both play for Monaco.

Listening to the South American experts pre World Cup they were saying that in some strange way the absence of Falcao could work in Colombia's favour because they work better with 1 up front and it gives James Rodriguez a more prominent role.

He got you there C Horse. Pretty sure we've been pronouncing Pele's name right all along though.

I've heard Americans pronounce it as Pay-ley though.

That was a pretty good shout. Almost as good as the thread experts on here who said ROONEY SHOULDN'T PLAY ON THE WING!!!!!

Sorry. It will stop hurting when the season starts....

Americans also play football with an easter egg and soccer with a football. Your point?

No doubt the manager will blame the stress of the Suarez saga and the way it affected the team for the defeat but their performance, or to be more accurate their conduct on and off the pitch has been nothing short of disgraceful.

In 1986, after Uruguay had fouled Scotland from first whistle to last to deprive them of a place in the second round of the World Cup, the head of the Scottish FA said that Uruguay was "the scum of world football".

28 years on, not much seems to have changed.
And lets not forget what happened against Ghana either, but what goes around comes around. Football won tonight.

He's an English commentator. If he wants to pronounce it the English way, there's no issue for me in him doing so.
