As a British person, I would prefer it if the commentators just pronounced the names accurately, as we learn how to pronounce the players' names by how we hear them referred to in the media as well as IRL. So, continuing to mispronounce the names just compounds the issue.

@maryhinge4815 I would prefer the correct pronunciation, which is more respectful to the players and means the general public learns how to pronounce the players' names properly.

Also, in Portuguese the letter O is flat, so it is bru-nu, not bru-no. The O is pronounced like the O in the English word do, or like the double O in room.
