How are non-native German speakers supposed to know that? (In reference to laughing at Darren Fletcher calling them Wolfsberger).
As a professional sports pundit it usually helps if you spend two minutes checking out the wikipedia page of the teams you're covering or their opponents.

The title of that page is Wolfsberger AC :lol: Ridiculous that German speakers on here are getting so irate about a someone calling Wolfsberger AC "Wolfsberger". Daft.

Noone bar like one post was being rude. Just bemused why us English were telling them they had it wrong.

Honest misunderstanding both sides and genuinely quite funny.

I know this is hard work, but sometimes you have to go the extra mile and read the first line of the article:
" Wolfsberger AC, commonly referred to as Wolfsberg or simply WAC, is an Austrian association football club from Wolfsberg "
