Overly Excited? Or Just Tongue Tied?

Well, there has been an raging debate and discussions on commentators and acquaintances who pronounced footballer's name in a strange way. We've been through it once before, with David Pleat ending up the winner of all.

Yossi Benayoun - Benny Yossayoun
Sissoko - Skissoko, Sissosko
Zinedine Zidane - Zinedan Zidou
Youri Djorkaeff - Yuri Jerkoff
Jon-Dahl Tommason - Thomas Dahl
Pascal Chimbonda - Shimbomba (Pleat TM)
Mido - Meedoo

Teemu Tainio - Teemootinnyarnioo
DaMarcus Beasley - Marcus De Beasley
Patrick Vieira - Patrick Vieri
Thierry Henry - Terry Henree
Del Piero - Pel Pee-ree-ooh
