Edin rhymes more with 'bean' than 'bin'
Dzeko is pronounced more-or-less 'Jay-koe'

well done old man! That actually made me laugh!
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

"Useless wanker" if he doesn't score in first two outings.

Edin, E like in Ed.
D and Ž (in Džeko) make J like in Jack, and the accent is on O at the end.
Though, Bosnians tend to pronounce it with accent on E in DžEko.
