It does not matter how you pronounce it. He is not a very good defender at all.

The name is pronounced 'Da-low'

You'd think that in a diverse forum like this one we'd have someone familiar with, or indeed living in, Portugal. Perhaps we have though and they like to keep quiet about it.

That's how I've been pronouncing it when I'm not making puns, so works for me

I think at least one poster did. JSP was in my head but it may not be him.

Rosso lives in Portugal. Or should it be Rossot but he doesn't like the T pronounced

Staunch brexiteer wasn't he

I think he had to leave after the vote

a short "o" and hard "t" gives better pun possiblities, so da-lot it is

I think he was taking the pee 🤣

Should we pronounce foreign names according to how they sound in their mother tongue? The French certainly don't pronounce my name in an English accent

BREXIT MEANS BREXIT!

We'd have had many chances to learn by now but that muppet wasted over 2 years on Wan Bissaka.

For those who didn't know, there are two posters active on this forum who live in Portugal and are known for frequently mentioning it, leading to a hilarious recurring joke in which one regrets the lack of Portugal-based posters.

The fact that neither of them have responded fuels my suspicion that they don't actually speak Portuguese and if fact share a house in Solihull.

He doesn’t like to talk about it mate. You’ve outed him now.

It doesn’t matter, someone on MOTD will still call him Diego

I’ll try that again… In Solihull we pronounce it Dalaow

dee-OH-goo DAH-loh

Better is Fred’s name in Brazilian Portuguese. Should be pronounced FREY-djee.
