Don’t worry I’m the same. No one really cares about Sweden anyway. They speak better English than us so we don’t have to learn these silly pronunciations.
Good meatballs and gravy though

Congrats Lucas, well deserved.
He's a star in the making, he and Gray both just look like they make the game look so easy which is incredibly impressive at that age in that position.

No one asked for this but here we go:
“Berg” means mountain. You have it in “iceberg”. “Vall” is “wall” (more or less - it’s a less common word in Swedish).
Most English speakers can’t pronounce it (same goes for Haaland, Højbjerg and others). But it’s a very easy name to spell. You have both its components in your own language.

So you’re saying his real name is Lucas Mountainwall?

Yes. Nominative determinism suggests he should be shielding the defense.
So what you're saying is he was what kept the White Walkers away. The Prince That Was Promised.

I don't remember ever being so optimistic about the future of young players at the club that I am about Bergvall and Gray. I always had major doubts about Taarabt and Edwards, who are two of the most talented young players I've seen, but for mental and physical reasons, there were always huge question marks. But Bergvall and Gray seem to have the complete package for players in their positions.

Completely agree. No one could make an argument that they don’t both have all the materials to become world class if everything goes well in their development and they stay injury free.
Weren't you excited when we signed the 17 year old Gareth Bale?

Yes, but at the time, Bale was a LB for Southampton and we didn't get to see the pre season games we do now and there was far less on YT etc. It's hard to get overly excited about a LB that, though highly rated, I'd hardly seen anything of prior to his debut against Utd (ironically as a LW.) At the time, I think most people were more enthusiastic about Giles Barnes, who we were equally linked with.

Totally agree. There is a lot of bad things about everything being filmed these days, but the real plus is that we get to see a lot more behind the scenes stuff.
Listening to the way that Gray, Bergvall, Odobert and Moore speak and seeing the way they play you can just tell that they are all mentally impressive. Add that to their ridiculously high potential then it bodes very very well.
