illinirox1 Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 actually, this is the graphics for the home broadcaster...the image is from a UK digital channel Yeah, that's the same look on the World Cup website:Scoreboard Put Your Hands up For Detroit (our lovely city) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYBadshah1 Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Does anyone have a picture of the ESPN overlay? I'm currently in India (comin back on Monday) and we get the international broadcasts. Our score overlay is somewhat similar to the UK digital channel posted above, except the bottom part is only shown at the beginning or after goals. Then in the top right corner, it has the WC logo, then team 1 abbrevation, then team 1 score, then 2 team abbreviation, and then team 2 score, and then time, in kind of the same font as the UK one, except ours seems alot cleaner.

Geoff Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Leave it to ESPN to not follow suit and bastardize FIFA's standardizations. The FIFA uses CIV for Côte d'Ivoire a.k.a. the Ivory Coast while ESPN makes it more English friendly with IVC.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Leave it to ESPN to not follow suit and bastardize FIFA's standardizations. The FIFA uses CIV for Côte d'Ivoire a.k.a. the Ivory Coast while ESPN makes it more English friendly with IVC. ESPN's just playing to the local audience, and following Enghish-speaking coloquial usage. Whereas Cote d'Ivoire requests that it be called by that name, it's common usage for English-speakers, including the BBC and US State Department, to use Ivory Coast. It's a bit like Brussels/Bruxelles Munich/Muenchen/München in terms of usage. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

Fred T. Jane Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 You can all them Ivory Coast, hell we don't call Germany Deutschland, just stick with the predetermined abbreviations. Actually it's a bit more of a British custom to use the local name in the local tongue with the exception of countries, which have their "normal" names, rather than the rest of the English-speaking world, who prefers the Anglicized name scheme. That's why on a British map of Europe you will see "Germany" dotted with names like "Muenchen," Frankfurt-am-Main," and "Köln" rather than their Anglicized names (Munich, Frankfurt, and Cologne, respectively). For what it's worth, I've got some GIS data of Europe on this computer that has Russia/Россия under the name field, in case you want to create maps with local nomenclature, like the DIA does on occasion with their reference maps. But back to the point you made, IVC is a reserve abbreviation under the ISO 3166-3 Standard for three letter abbreviations (CIV is the official ISO, IOC, and FIFA abbreviation as of 1985), so it's still OK for informal use, such as displaying a football match on Television.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 Actually, ESPN is kind of dead wrong. I thought I remembered Cote D'Ivoire being the only country in the world that is pronounced in the local dialect everywhere. According to Wikipedia, I'm right:The country was originally known in English as Ivory Coast, and corresponding translations in other languages: Elfenbeinküste in German, Costa de Marfil in Spanish, Pantai Gading in Indonesian, Ivoorkust in Dutch, Wybrzeże Kości Słoniowej in Polish, Costa d'Avorio in Italian and so on. In October 1985 the government requested that the country be known as Côte d'Ivoire in every language. In fact, according to national law, the name of the country cannot be translated from French. Of course, this law can only be enforced within the country itself.Cote D'Ivoire's prefence is totally non-binding, but still interesting nonetheless. I say good for them. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right according to my French teacher as well. We were talking about this a couple months ago.

Yes, but they also used SMT for Serbia and Montenegro (instead of SCG), and SAU for Saudi Arabia (instead of KSA).Please, use the proper abbreviations!
