Of course the name can be pronounced but you have to be proficient in the Polish language. You know, every language has its rules. its because we speak English that's why we seem to pronounce everything we see according to English rules.

OK, check out these other words in other languages and see how they are pronounced in English:-

Czech ----- Check

Sade------- Shade

Modric ------ Modrich

Munchen ---- Munich and so on.

And about how the English speaking commentators pronounce those seemingly weird names? They are highly trained professions who are also multi lingual. Or you think everyone is like our local Nta commentators (Paul Ogazi, Henry Effiong and Abdulrahaman Ibn Mohammed) abi? I only listen to those guys if I want comedy instead if the game. They keep on saying "and that is jersey number 17, in the person of Ndubuisi Otakara" and after some minutes you hear "oh sorry, Jersey number 17 is actually Aderinbigbe Gbadagesin" Those guys are clowns walahi!

lol... try and watch the Russian and the Greek league. You will see names that have three consonants following each other. I still maintain that its all about understanding the language first
