or buy Polish players with easier surnames to pronounce like Slowacki or Ryba or Radosz ;). That works to.

They're actually pronounced Sloovackski, Rhzybarq and Thomas. [:P]

hehe, wouldn't surprise me at all if that was the case but it wouldn't get me to call them that even if they were pronounced like that ;).

ha i was going to make the same comment

get yourself a Brzęczyszczykiewicz. :P

*brain asplodes*

It's a famous name from Polish movie :)

He was a Polish soldier. Germans caught him and asked for his name....just look at the face of the first German :D at the end he says also where he lives...:D

Polish is definately the chinese of europe...

My surname is Piotrowski, compaired to these its like "Smith" but in oz, dammed if i don't have to spell the thing 15 times a day :(

mine ends up in "ski" too...
people thinks it's polish but when I tell them it's Ukrainian and that I'm French anyway I always get a blank face...

Shouldn't it end in 'sky' 'skiy' 'skyi' if it's Ukrainian though? :S

That bit of the family arrived in France in 1914...
I wouldnt be surprised if the french authority at the time chopped a bit of the end of the name or swap the y for an i... it's a common practice of them

A little off track, but how would you pronounce Kosciusko?

kozzee-OSko is the 'normal' Australian method, with the stress on the 3rd syllable :P

Kosh[like posh spice :P] tshus-ko

ed: I guess you know the name because of the mountain that he discovered? :)
