Less than a week away before Raymond Domenech decides on the initial team roster of France during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, rumour has it that Thierry Henry might be out of the picture. Henry who is currently playing for Barcelona has had a very bad season this year, and he watched most games from the bench more often than he played. Even during last week’s match against Inter, and when coach Guardolia was looking for a striker towards the end of the game he never even looked at Henry to step up in the game.
Henry that is mostly playing on the left wing, is uncertain to be selected against more suitable candidates such as Franck Ribéry who also kicks best playing on the left wing. So who will it be? Another option is Loic Remy for his speed that could match the speed of once talended Henry, and who would be even more suitable than Ribéry for France.
Thierry Henry is the last player of the golden French national team that won the World Cup trophy 12 years ago, and maybe 2006 was his last World Cup appearance as the chances to get picked again are not in his favor. Henry will be 33 this summer, and only few players have managed to remain in top shape at this age. We are not sure Thierry Henry belongs to this few lucky players, but maybe we will find out next week once coach Domenech announces his final draw.
