We use the Flemish for most Flemish teams, but not Brugge. Likely has to do with traditions in English. Free kick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying we say "Club Bruge?" It's Brugge in Flemish, Bruges in French. The club was first Brugsche FC (apparently a southern Flemish spelling) but was varients of Club Brugeois through a lot of the 20th century.  Club Brugge Koninklijke Voetbalvereniging (Flemish again) is from 1972. Edited October 4, 2022 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kadenge Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Good half by Tajon. He is up against ex Lille LBÂ Reinoldo. I'd be surprised if he goes past 60 mins in his 1st start and 2nd appearance. Â DeRo_Is_King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are setting the bar pretty high for commentators, I am just a little happy when Engish commentators say Davies and not the "Davis" that is normal for them. I have heard the English say BROO-GUH for Bruges, (a bit of French but all the way) so more defaulting to what they know again.  But they say tako for taco. I only know this from Old English, but the IPA symbol for last constanent in Brugge is a voiced velar fricative, not really any g we know, and as you say, not easy to say.  I think you can go too far the other way. There was an American commentator for BEIN that was doing the Argentina-Jamaica game last week. He obviously spoke Spanish and could trill or whatever all the Argentine names but he also tried with the Jamaican names. Michail Antonio's name is only partially Spanish, if at all and he is not at all.  Edited October 4, 2022 by WestHamCanadianinOxford jonovision and DeRo_Is_King 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
