I’m gonna be real, I’ve criticised these guys in the past and it’s embarrassing to say but I’ve only just realised all the things they do for the world game in Australia and it’s legacy which is not only amazing, but admirable on so many levels. I’ll admit I was stupid not to see this nor realise it earlier and I take regret in my short sighted criticisms I’ve made in the past. We should be all supporting you guys so thank you Foss and Lucy! You guys honestly deserve a medal along with the crew there in Russia

Ease up turbo. That's like saying Molly Meldrum was a gun music journalist who did SO MUCH to put Aussie music where it is today. Not hating on these 2 BTW. Zelic isn't exactly inspiring but she's a great MC. Can't recall a single clanger from her so she obviously knows a bit about the game. And what Australian in their right mind doesn't love the Silver Fox? He's a top shelf _special comments_ man. tl;dr Some men have greatness thrust upon them.
@BigRamifications6 жыл бұрын
Erm.... Well I wasn't hating until this pathetic episode. Going the ONLINE ABUSE route and giving Lucy Zelic a foul-mouthed spray was never even remotely on the cards, personally speaking, but ya gotta admit she sounds like a complete flog.... And have you read her latest interview? Lordy! "I'm in the bathroom getting ready for work and I suddenly need to lie on the cold floor and curl up in the fetal position and cry and cry and blah blah blah love of the game keeps me going." Terrible stuff.

Putting on exotic accents is unnecessary when pronouncing foreign names and words. I don't expect foreigners to talk with Australian accents when pronouncing Australian names and places. It's political correctness gone mad. If foreigners decide to migrate to Australia, and then endlessly whinge when SBS presenters don't adjust their accents to their liking then what kind of Australians will they make?

Nothing wrong with respecting the tradition of SBS television and it's broadcasting of the world game. Lucy is pretty good broadcaster and host and is heaps better than Mel McLaughlin. People are criticizing her for pronunciations being over the top should pull their head in and get over it. The great Les Murray would say the say thing to people. Respecting his legacy and tradition of the world game which he put so much into. I reckon all creds to Lucy and Foss for putting this to air. SBS should have broadcasting rights to all soccer including the ALeague.
@WOSHSV76 жыл бұрын
Agree with that. Dont know if SBS will cover the world cup again with the lack of funds they get. I got the feeling that Foxtel and 9 or 7 will get the next one in Qatar which is a pity as SBS has covered the world cup well since 1986 I recall and the big tournaments with Les Murray at the forefront.

Even more so this World Cup!

I looked up "La Celeste" and "Die Mannschaft" to find out the different names given to their national teams after hearing them on SBS. No other coverage in Australia shows the level of research or respect that SBS does when covering the world game.

I kept correcting them and urged them to pronounce it properly eventually I gave up and settled it was just to tiresome to keep correcting them. its great to have TV presenters that know and try to pronounce culturally diverse names and countries properly . that's one of the legacies that Les Murray left behind besides its SBS so its expected too. Congratulations to all on this years WC coverage in Russia. PS love the Adidas shirts one of the perks of having adidas as a sponsor of broadcast. 👍👍👍👏👏👏

As an Aussie who has spent many years travelling the world, speaking people's language the way THEY speak their language is simple respect.
