Lucas doesn't pronounce the s normally but he does for English-speakers to make it easier

I do something similar in France because it's easier for them, and me.
FR
"What eez your nem?" / « Tu t'appelles comment ? »
"Er, 'Two reindeer"*
"Ah, très bien !"
UK
"What's your name mate?"
"Darren"

*Deux rennes
(Or even d'hareng = herring)

My French other half pronounces her surname Henry like the VIIIth just because it's easier. Even though one of the most famous French people in the UK shares her surname and pronounces it the right way.

I'm glad someone decided do this. Now there's no excuse for any fuckwit commentator to pronounce Lucas Digne wrong. If i hear anyone else call him Luca Dinya I swear ill lose my shit.

Poor Ross Barclay. They forgot all about him and had to scribble his name on a piece of paper.
