    Watching the Chelsea vs Galatasary game here and realised how fun the name 'Azpilicueta' is to say.

    I also like saying Higuain in the Latin American way,


    Any others?

    Azpilicueta is terrific fun, especially when pronounced properly as a Spaniard would pronounce it, same with Cazorla.

    I also enjoy pronouncing Ozil properly, as a Turkish person would pronounce it, also Thibaut Courtois rolls off the tongue.

    Obvious one is Germany international Stephan Cuntz.

    I also have fond memories of Jimmy McGee and his pronunciation of a (I think) Spanish player Lopez UK ARE back in the day.

    Simpler times :)
