Hoever became Jewish - Hoi vey.
To this point, if I hear another commentator pronounce Raul's name "Hee-men-eth", I'll lose it.Found a free-to-air terrestrial tv station showing the game in San Antonio. Telemundo broadcasts in Spanish and it was probably for the best that I understood very little of their commentary. Strong Mexican connection, so no surprise that they mentioned Raúl more than any other player in the build up, and also had a 2 minute interview with Adama.
Then it took a while to understand how they pronounced the players names. We had Roman Zize, Jo-wow Moutinho, Gibbs-Wide, Vicheenha, and Hoever became Jewish - Hoi vey. Wolves was very much with an 'o', not Wulves. Spurs were always the Lilywhites and Son was called Sonny.
Very much an end of season game, deserved to lose, but we could easily have scored 2 or 3 goals.
Was talking with a Mexican national today. He was complaining about people saying Himinez or HEmenez. He also told me that Rauls nickname in Mexico is El Pollo. Supposedly a compliment because Raul used to play for Club America - known as The Eagles.To this point, if I hear another commentator pronounce Raul's name "Hee-men-eth", I'll lose it.
It's for the rhyme, isn't it? IIRC he went by Alonso or Alo when he was at Club America, so the name becomes El Pollo Alo.Was talking with a Mexican national today.
