Here's mine: --- (Updated with additional names/not kiddy sounding)

I will post my Audio here. Link: vocaroo.com/i/s06VRcm7PPMA

Here I am in all my Australian-ness:     Link: vocaroo.com/i/s0s2fjKjOPzF

Link: vocaroo.com/i/s1gTddelEoLH    Idk what happened but that's it more or less haha

I don't have any accent   Link: vocaroo.com/i/s1ddvzTku7Pm

I'm loving this, but unfortunately I don't have a microphone, or one of those in-built thingies.

By the way, I'd like to add a few names to the challenge. Most of the Belgium players have their names horribly mauled by English and definitely Spanish commentators. See what you make of these:

Thomas Vermaelen, Thibaut Courtois, Dries Mertens, Toby Alderweireld, Christian Benteke, Kevin De Bruyne.

And I'll throw in some Italians because it's always funny to hear English-speaking people pronounce Italian: Alessandro Del Piero, Claudio Marchisio, Gianluigi Buffon, Emanuele Giaccherini, Alotta Fagina

All star off by saying this is a wonderful thread thank you Reinarubin this is a very creative and fun thread. Here is mine...Please forgive some of the background noise there some construction going on outside it's madness....
