    Nothing wrong with that IMO - Similar to Gallagher which we would pronounce without the 2nd g

    There would be nothing wrong with it if these apparent intelligent pundits didn't hear his team-mates, fellow professionals and managers all pronounce his name properly.

    Rosidky annoys me.
    I dunno how you're normally supposed to pronounce Rosicky, but Rosidky doesn't sound right.

    Sami Hyppia---often referred to as Hip-e-a instead of hoop-e-a.

    It's not Hoop -e -a, it's a ö sound that most English speakers can't replicate, somewhere between an O and an E

    It's not a diphthong that many English speakers can manage, like the sound after the M in this:

    Sneijder has the typical Dutch thick S which is neither 's' nor exactly 'sh'.
