I think so yeah, she seemed to stumble over the word and gave up and went with intention instead (though at least she pronounced it correctly, which appears to be quite the achievement for her when the word is larger than one syllable)

Her commentary has been very good, she just needs to learn how to say the players names. The strangest part is that it’s the most well known players she can’t pronounce.

Morata, 4-3!

Boom!

Easy
Her knowledge seems fine but unfortunately, if your job is to commentate, being able to pronounce things correctly is pretty much top of the job requirements sheet
anyone remember Ron Atkinson commentating?
In fairness 90% of commentators don't pronounce every player correctly, even if they're commentating the EPL.Her knowledge seems fine but unfortunately, if your job is to commentate, being able to pronounce things correctly is pretty much top of the job requirements sheet

All over

Game owa
Soldato
Blimey. 5-3.

Both sides shipping goals everywhere doesn’t give me much confidence against France (assuming there isn’t some enormous upset later).
This. Or if we try somewhere on youtube will be Martin O'Neill struggling to say Zinedine Zidane in the post-match world cup commentary back in 2006
I turned off at 3-1 and here we are
Yup, again, good knowledge but shouldnt commentate. Knowledge and Commentary/Presenting are two different skillsets. In fact to be a good commentator you dont even need the former, if you are good at the latter but its difficult to be a good commentator without the latter (like Michael Owen
)

C’mon now make it 5-4 just to keep the entertainment level high for the last 15mins.

Which simply shows that there are a lot of people employed as commentators who shouldnt be. Though to be fair, its not wholly her fault, someone really ought to have pointed out the right pronunciation of Azpilicueta to her by now
