Shtop it.

This is the QF equivalent of group D for kit colour confusion

Why is this commentator pronouncing every s in a Portuguese players name as a sh?

Because that is how the Portuguese pronounce it.

Was thinking the same thing, annoying and shouldn't be allowed.

Read an interesting article earlier about how Ronaldo is viewed in his home country (respected for footballing ability but disliked due to marketing himself as a brand - too much focus on money) and how Nani is the real idolised player

[Maguire]

Ronaldo i think i'd hate if he played for England whilst hypocritically cheering all his goals.

This game is bent for kits but does feature two of the best players of the tournament for me - Gebre Selasie and Coentrao, full-back v full-back.

Surprised at how well the Czechs are playing actually. Forwards finding space and Portugal looking sketchy at the back.

Some are but not all. I know a Portuguese lady who doesn't pronounce them like that

'Velosho to Poshtiga to Alvesh.....'. it's like Sean Connery is commentating

[Silver Fox]

Jonathan Pearce bloody loves Ronaldo doesn't he? I'm worried for former Royal Martin Keown's safety if he scores

Maybe it's a regional thing. When listening to Portuguese it seems to be full of shj sounding words. My neighbour opposite is Portuguese and currently has the flag flying outside her house.

What about Baros(h)?

He's not Portuguese

[southbank1871]

Never a penalty there. Pearce seems to have a bit of a hard-on in general for Portugal.

[southbank1871]

Nearly a gr8 goal from Ronaldo.

Doesn't he though. I started watching this game as a neutral but am now hoping the Czechs win.

This. Why doesn't he just suck ronaldo's dick and have done with it. JP's hero worship is beyond a joke and getting really irritating.

[6ft Kerplunk]

How many times a match do you think Ronaldo's teammates tell him to stop acting the pcunt.

Don't you mean Portugueesh?

Because that is how the Portuguese pronounce it.

But it will never be right for every region, so to make yourself sound like a tw*t when pronouncing a name is just the height of pcunthood.

And any foreigner who would expect you to pronounce their name absolutely perfectly is also an uber pcunter.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

Finally a goal
