I'm not a football fan, but I really appreciate your idea of introducing the players with their accent and to make a video about that, great job !

Raheem: no accent
Grealish: strong accent
Kane: “the World Cup washh great”

[biggsleezy]

Sancho couldn't be bothered to learn German, so he just had to learn the accent to compensate

[williamrandle]

Sancho adopting his accent is similar to what I do when I communicate with native Portuguese speakers in English, I find my intonation and inflictions start to mimic them, it's like you're trying to find the same rhythm.

[danman]

As a Canadian I can confidently say they are from England

[simonpantera]

There is a large Caribbean community in my part of Brooklyn. I can hear Jamaican accent in Raheem Sterling's speech very clearly.

[eststyles]

No but Sancho speaking to the Germans in an English-German accent to compensate is quite common. It’s something done so that they understand you. I have my own weird mixture of a British accent (English is my first language so I speak it perfectly as any other native) but when I’m speaking it in school my accent switches. I went to a Spanish school so naturally majority of the people that go there are Spanish and speak English with their Spanish-English accent which I’m assuming we’ve all heard. So in English class when having to communicate with them unconsciously I switch to the Spanish-English accent so they can understand me, cuz if I speak to them with a proper English accent, they won’t. Because everyone is speaking in the accent whether it be a Spanish-English accent or in Sancho’s case, German-English, you get influenced by the accent of the others.

"The key thing is communicate clearly, as long as you can communicate your ideas and being understood"

Harry Kane: sorry, what's that

[alexinho]

Who knew Bellingham and Grealish were Peaky Blinders.

[EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

This England team is much more likeable than previous ones. Young players who are humble and respectful. The manager is a class act too. ✌️⚽️

[-onedirectionfanfiction-]

Kane is one of a kind and I love his voice. Grealish has the brummie accent

[lukeozade]

"Jack grealish probably has the strongest accent"
Trent and jordan henderson: "are we a joke to you"

[Z-ARK]

I'm from Argentina. I'm doing an English course to become a teacher of English. To be honest I owe a lot watching Premier League interviews from English players. Thus, I've improved my spelling and communication.

[dperson]

Your Grealish impression was actually spot on.

[Westlake]

There's a clip of Jack Grealish at the England training camp where he is hanging out with the other players and definitely talking in quite a strong MLE accent - this is normal most of our accents vary in different contexts.

[lozza]

jack grealish’s accent is literally so cute i’m obsessed

[RaizuJi]

Thank you! this really helps me doing my little linguistic research for my project :) great job dude!

[delightedmaryam]

Raheem’s accent is the easiest for me to understand. Cool😍😃
