On a similar theme - should it be:

My-ca Richards or
Mick-a Richards?

I thought it was My-ca but hear lots of variations at the game (although granted it is in the CB!)

There's a difference between correct pronunciation and adopting an accent. I'd rather hear a player's name pronounced correctly rather than getting butchered.

I've never heard him being called Vansont before, so why have ITV started that today?

Its like Nedhume Hon- Hou Haa. Van-sont is how the commentator thinks it should sound. The Belgium's are probably laughing there b*ll*x off.

Nicola Anelka. Can't remember who it was that said it like this.

Those francophone Belgians laughing their tits off at the correct pronunciation of a Belgian player's name? Probably.
