I’m not sure how one could mis pronounce DDR’s name. I knew how to when I first saw it and I’m not even Italian(I know but I can’t really help it).

And I have seen the comics about the EPL and you really do have to know about to get some of the stuff.

They pronounce Iaquinta’s name like he is Spanish

They always call him IN-ah-keent-ah. There’s no “N” lads. Just like there’s no “H” in Gilardino.

yesterday on Fox Soccer Report the dude called iaquinta “in-ah-keent=ah” no lie

Could be my Jersey upbringing but when I say “yelly” and “yell-eh” it sounds nearly identical.

You guys ever hear the way they pronounce Iaquinta’s name on Fox Sports World?

Eye-ah-kint-ah.

Horrendous.
