Knocked out Holland, Italy, winning the group and sending out Germany and now Switzerland...not bad at all. The lack of quality in attack not the least is painfully obvious though.

I saw the game at the biggest gathering in Sweden. Beautiful day, beautiful park and completely crowded :star::star::star:

Being half italian, half swedish I admit that I felt a bit conflicted at the beginning

Really nice to see Granqvist finally getting the cred he deserves.
Memba' when he was linked with Milan? :proud:

The defense is carrying the team at the moment, but the attack isn't that bad either, tactically. Berg just needs to learn how to strike a ball and that deflected goal has hopefully changed everything for Forsberg.

Is Forsberg's name pronounced For-s-belly in Swedish?

Force
Barry

with soft r's.

What? :lol:

Forsh-berj

"berj" doesn't say much about pronounciation for an English speaker.
Barry with a soft Spanish r(or French r for Scanian accent) and quick "e" at the end is the closest you'll get.


As for Forsh.......:lol::fp:

Is that where you're from?

because in that case i understand that you're confused about the swedish language :D

Try saying Forshberg with a Scanian r...impossible.

I take the best from Scanian, Stockholmian and Blattian.:o

Didn’t mean to start any arguments.


I just always thought it’s interesting the Chinese translation for Swedish name are always ____barry instead of ____berg, now I know how it’s said in Swedish, thanks guys

Chinese language makes it impossible to directly translate European sounds as they must use a Chinese character with similar sound to translate the name, hence if that sound doesn’t exist it won’t be translated.

His name in Chinese is actually 福 (fu) 斯 (s) 贝(bei) 利(li)

But usually they use the last two character to translate Berry/Barry/Pele :lol: so I figured it’s a similar sound in Swedish

You do? lol
Not even the Swedish speakers can agree on how it's pronounced .
It depends on the dialect. But you seem to be specifically after the pronunciation of the -rg part.
It's "rj" or "r-yee" if the former doesn't say much.

Fuck off.:o

Judging from your guys and this Youtube video I found, I can get the rough idea.

I was just confused why its not the "burg" sound translated, now I know.

Thanks once again.
