    Lol Oranje! [​IMG]

    I say Kuyt as in 'coy' with a 't' on the end. Coyt. Not that it really matters because it'll never change how ugly he is.

    I remember them calling by it when he used to play for Boro. It's something like 'Bo-de-woo-jin'.

    Before Kuyt came to Liverpool, it was pronounced Coyt, but since he came to England it's always been Cowt. At first I prefered Coyt, but I've gotten used to Cowt and that's the way it is I guess.

    Kuyt = Cow-t (he said that himself in an interview)
    Mascherano = Mash-er-rah-no
    Vidic = Vid-itch
    Heinze = Aint-zay


    I can't call Zenden "Bolo" because he's not as cool as the big kung-fu guy in Enter The Dragon. [​IMG]

    The 'J' is silent I believe. It should sound 'hoy-donk'.

    Ross-seen-ee-yah. Pronouned like the word "senior".

    His dad, Leroy, gets annoyed about it being mispronounced. Nothing french about it though. They're as English as you get.

    Henry is the funniest since French people can't pronounce H's. They'll have them in their names etc but the French cannot pronounce the letter H.
