UPDATE -  Looks like Raymond Domenech has finally used whatever he has left up stairs in naming the common sense choice for the Captain of France, Thierry Henry.

Domenech’s team against Sweden for tomorrow night’s Friendly.

Steve Mandanda; Bakary Sagna, Philippe Mexes, William Gallas, Patrice Evra; Sidney Govou, Jeremy Toulalan, Lassana Diarra, Florent Malouda; Thierry Henry, Karim Benzema.

19 goals and 11 assists for a guy who just got divorced, was away from his child, coming off injury and playing out of position.

I’m thinking 2008/09 will be a lot kinder to one of the best players on the planet.
