What a player this lad can be, could be a star.... but for the love of God (Yod) please stop calling him Gok-er-res, Guy-oh-ker-es or any other combinations starting with a hard 'Gee' or 'Guh' sound.
Rules for the letter 'G' in Sweden say that a G before hard vowels (a, o, u, å) is pronounced like 'guh' in English ie, 'Gap'. But a 'G' before soft vowel (ä, ö, e, i, y) is pronounced like 'yuh' ie 'yogurt' (there are exceptions, like Göteborg but that to do with the 2 'G's
So to the best of my knowledge from listening to Swedish Comms ... Gyökeres = Yer-ker-es (well it's more like Yer-ker-esh but just as long as we get over the fecking hard 'Gee' or 'Guh' I'm happy
Yes I know I'm a pedant and that I should have better things to do but type a rant on a player name at 3am but I'm buzzing we are doing so well. Really enjoying all the fan made content online like YouTube and stuff but every single one complely mangles his name !
