People are just plain lazy and can't be bothered to spell players names currently.
Same as the fucktards who couldn't pronounce Sven goran eriksen' name - typical english ignorance really.
You go to mainland Europe and most countries can speak better english then us lol and know more than one language.
Well it's Sven-Göran Eriksson, for a start, and unless you happen to be aware of the umlaut above the 'o' and its significance, you'll pronounce the 'g' as in English. That's the way 'g' is pronounced before an 'o' without an umlaut in Swedish. With the umlaut, it's a sort of 'y' sound.
I don't speak Swedish, but I do like Swedish detective novels and films, and checked out the correct pronunciation.
