I watched most of the women's world cup on Portuguese TV with their commentary. Each game involving England, every commentator said Lucy Bronze where as every other English player was surname only.

 Sam Kerr, glad I don't have to watch her smug smile on the tv quite so much after the WC

Even worse is listening to commentators trying to use the local dialect inflections... cringe worthy.

Not always.
When at Leeds I recall a televised game with him passing to Daniel James and the commentators “Koch, into James’ line had me in bits.
