 Just hours before the match, I told my friend Suarez is better than Rooney and I believe he can beat England.

 

 My friend: "You're acting as if it's likely he'll beat England by himself, you fiend."

France is looking scary, but yet again, Switzerland disappointed me today. I can't even begin to imagine USA advancing over Portugal. I would be so happy.

Does France still have Henry? And my team is England for the tourney, I am a big fan of Rooney, Garard and Lampard.

Henry still plays (in the MLS) but is far too old and lost too many steps to still be on the national team. Also, England is eliminated.

Ahhhhh are you serious, that sucks. I remember Henry and Zidane were two of the best on France.

Henry is 36, Zidane is 41. Both are retired from international football, Henry still plays club football for Red Bulls. Zidane is a coaching assistant with Real Madrid.

For the record the MLS has little to do with him not being the tourney, just to clarify. The age thing yes.

 

Tomorrow should be fun, my cousin flew in from Mainz!

I'm just telling him the full information. He's not playing because he retired from internationals. For someone who may not understand the sport as much, as it seems might be the case with Metis, he might not get that there are two different retirements (one from internationals and one from club) when most jobs in the world have one. Henry is still somewhat able to play, which is why he still plays for a club, although the same drop in skill that brought him to MLS compared to the teams he's played for is the same drop in skill that caused him to retire from internationals. You and I, of course, understand this.

Oh I know it just semi sounded like you were saying he couldn't play because he was in the MLS. I was just clarifying that his eligibility in the tournament would still be intact if he chose to unretire from International duty and was selected.

 

For Metis, many MLS players play in the World Cup (some wouldn't be there if their team was more skillful though).

Jesus. Next you'll be saying you can't wait for Pele, George Best and Lothar Matthaeus to play.

Considering Zidane and Henry last played together in 2006 I'm quite surprised Kesler has any memory of them.
