Nou Camp is Spanish.
Camp Nou is Catalan (not Basque!).

Barcelona is in the Catalan (not Basque!) region, so it's us that have been misnaming it thus far.

No, Barcelona is Catalan. I lived there for two years. Bilbao are Basque.

Barcelona is in Catalonia, Baz.


If we're being really picky it's in Catalunya :-)

So now we have to spell and pronounce Turkey, Türkiye and yet we still call Germany, Germany, Switzerland, Switzerland and Sweden, Sweden???? I just don’t get it. And I’m sure all countries don’t call England, England.

It's bollox isn't it. Saw Kate Abdo once pronouncing Union Berlin in the 'correct' German way and then putting Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards in their place when they found it funny. Try saying Crvena Zvezda correctly instead of Red Star mate

Turkey/Türkiye explicitly asked to be renamed because of the other associations with the word turkey, it's not about losing the anglicisation.

Yes the best one is Bayern Munich where it’s both and neither but would I be comfortable saying either Bavaria Munich of Bayern Muncheon?

I think this deserves a thread of its own and don’t get me started on Belgium.

Erdogan is a pompous arse, anything that annoys him is a good thing. We don’t care that they refer to us as büyük britanya. He can get stuffed.

If we have to rename places, let’s use the Italian names - Monaco di Baviera, Francoforte sul Meno, Marsiglia, Edimburgo, San Pietroburgo, Gerusalemme, Pechino, Copenaghen.

Give it time

Not so long ago;

Belarus was Belorussia (or Byelorussia)
Myanmar, Burma
Sri Lanka, Ceylon
Cote D’Ivoire, Ivory Coast
D R Congo, Zaire

In time we will get use to;

Czechia instead of Czech Republic
Eswatini, Swaziland
Türkiye, Turkey
And maybe Naoero instead of Nauru (pending referendum)

PS: in the meantime, no, we are not getting players from these countries, so breathe
