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.
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.

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"?
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?

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.
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.... |

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. |

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.
