I was in work the other day and was talking footie with a few people and one lad kept saying 'André Schürrle' would start for Germany this summer. Aside from him being wrong about him starting he was also saying 'Schurrle' in a really distracting way and I really wanted to tell him that's not how you pronounce Schürrle ... problem was I wasn't totally sure how you do!
I was thinking maybe this thread could be a resource for people wanting to know, or maybe even wanting to tell others, how to pronounce names of footballers and staff.
Maybe you just want to get something off your chest about the way a particular commentator pronounces a name or something. Anything like that is welcome.
I just reckoned many heads was better than one and we've people from all over the world here to help us cover loads of languages.
So, to start, how the F**k do you pronounce 'André Schürrle'? I'm assuming you don't say it like (schure-rel) and more like (sure-leh)?
