Foluwashola Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Internazionale Milano AC Milan One uses the English name, the other the Italian. You don't ever call AC Milan: 'Milano', because while its an alternative name for the city, it is not an alternative name for the football club. Nobody ever says Inter Milano. Have heard plenty Paree San Germain tbf to Madras. Might have even used myself in the past. 'Inter' and 'Milan' is the correct way. True that. Nobody ever goes Bayern Munchen though, which I assume is their official name. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Using your spellings, Paris Sanjerman. Why do you say the first bit in an English way and the second bit in the French way? Should say Paris saynt jorman if you really want to be consistent. This is true like, all or nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Aye Bayern seem to be the one that doesn't follow the rules. I distinctly remember watching CL highlights on Rai in Italy and every team had their proper name, except Bayern who were inexplicably called Bayern Monaco.

To be fair the two S's merge into one, so you could argue I'm just saying Paree anyway. But it's not on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Seems to actually be a common Italian name for them: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu%C3%9Fball-Club_Bayern_M%C3%BCnchen That's simply because the city of Munich is called "Monaco" in the Italian language. Which doesn't do much for confusion, especially in the context of football. At least it means Bayern remains the exception by having the city name declined in local language.

Peppe Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Speaking of pronunciations, what is up with saying "Lester" when it's spelt Leicester? Shouldn't that be Lei-cester/chester or Lee-cester/chester or something similar? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toondave Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 What is up with most English pronunciations Leice= less helps but it doesn't tally with where the word comes from so you just have to chalk it down as English language being its own mysterious self.

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Do managers give the formation information when they release the line up, or do the media just guess/go on previous line ups? I was just wondering whether managers ever lie about it to give them a slight tactical edge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
