It is Uh-yo-ah. But. Vicente is pronounced Bee-then-Tay but we all say vee-cent-ay . So I'd imagine most of us will still say Ooh-low-ah. I like Spanish Len tho, very good!

How about we all just sing "His name is Leo and we can't pronounce his name"

Oh my, this has to happen tomorrow...and every game from then on.

When all else fails, Google it.....The pronunciation (Spanish ) sites make it something like "ooh you are" with emphasis on the final syllable.

But we Anglicise everything else, so who cares?

"Spanish Len - scored again , la la la la la "

I believe double LL in Spanish is pronounced J

So that would make it You-Jo-ah

As the owner of a grade C in AS level Spanish, I can confirm that a LL is pronounced like a Y.

Paella = Pie-yeh-ya
Ulloa = Uh-yoh-ah

Edit: then again he is Argentinian and they pronounce things differently...

I would put the emphasis on Ulloa rather then Ulloa, but pronunciations can be difficult things to get right especially if you have a lisp, in which case play safe with Ulloa.
