Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Being a huge fan of soccer, I try and watch it as much as I can, or whenever it is on TV. However, there is one announcer that annoys the living daylights out of me. This guy is an english prat. He cannot pronounce names properly...or at least how most English speakers would pronounce the names. Usually his ineptitude is limited to spanish names, because he seems to pronounce all Brits properly. My biggest hang-up is that he lisps his esses in select spanish names. There may be some funky way of pronouncing esses in the Basque region, or something, but he insists on doing this for every spanish name. For example, I'm trying to watch the Real Madrid-Zaragoza soccer match. He is pronouncing Zaragoza as "Theragotha"...he also says "Luith Garthia" instead of Luis Garcia (which totally pisses me off when I take time off of work to watch Liverpool), but he pronounces Sevilla correctly as well as many other S-names. I don't understand if this is just another case of someone who can't properly roll their arrrr's, so they just butcher it instead (this is my theory). Another thing I don't understand is that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, yet this is the only person who speaks English that seems capable of commentating matches on both ESPN and GolTV. Just wanted to vent my frustration as I watch the match on mute.
