I'm happy for commentators to pronounce these names as they see them, in English.

I call the French capital Paris, not 'Paree' like the French do - same goes for footballers afaic.

 

Paris is pronounced that way in the English language. In the same way that London is not “London” in French but “Londres”.

 

However, to just broadly pronounce people’s names in English when they are clearly not with no disregard is just ignorant. Fair enough some names are hard to know how to pronounce, but to just pronounce all foreign names as if they were English is definitely disrespectful if you know how they should be pronounced.

Portsmouth are extremely fortunate to be level......2 or 3 rebounds and the ball fell for them.  I think we have been excellent first half, with our defence solid and capable of anything Portsmouth tried.  Semenyo Kalas and Mawson have stood out......and adelukan has not.  Well played City keep it up............Portsmouth are not as good as i expected
