Paris - Having been kicked out of the World Cup and sparked a players' mutiny, disgraced striker Nicolas Anelka may finally have met his match - Germaine Domenech, the mother of France's embattled coach.
"I'd like to meet Mr Anelka and give him a piece of my mind as a mother," said pensioner Mrs Domenech.
Chelsea star Anelka was booted out of the World Cup after launching a foul-mouthed tirade against coach Raymond Domenech in the 2-0 defeat to Mexico, a result which has left the 1998 champions teetering on the brink of elimination.
He was then expelled before the rest of the squad staged a one-day strike in sympathy and refused to train.
"It's distressing to be insulted like that, because he is not just the coach but he is also my son. It's a double insult to my son and to me as his mother," Mrs Domenech told RTL radio.
