I love everything about this. Big ups to Reebok for their entire “Framed” series.

Here’s the fly - on - the - wall look behind the scenes of an Elton John AIDS Awareness commercial with Emmanuel Adebayor and Thierry Henry messing around with the ball.

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.

I want to start this off by saying no one has told me that Henry is coming to MLS or anything like that. Instead, this is more of a “what if” type thing. With Henry in New York with Barcelona for a friendly against Red Bull New York, I can’t help myself  imagining Henry in MLS one day. Everyone knows Henry is a huge fan of New York, and I have to guess that the folks over at Red Bull feel the same towards Henry.  This has got to be the perfect fit.

With the success that Beckham has been for the league so far, bringing in Henry and planting him in New York would have at least the same effect (imagine the fear he would strike in every defense in the league). A world class star in the two biggest markets in the country would be huge. A big LA v NY rivalry would be great for the league and the sport. I got my fingers crossed that this one will happen sooner rather than later. After the jump, check out one of my all time Thierry Henry videos.

I’m sure most of you are aware that tonight is the night for Steve Nash’s ultimate pickup up game in NY’s Chinatown. Featuring cats like Thierry Henry (how huge is that) ,as well as Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Kidd, former Liverpool stars Steve McManaman and Robbie Fowler; and the N.B.A. players Leandro Barbosa, Raja Bell, Baron Davis and David Lee. This will benefit Nash’s charity as well as that of Claudio Reyna. The match will be 8-on-8 and will kickoff at 5:30 p.m. on the Nike field at the Sara D. Roosevelt Park on Chrystie Street and admission is free. If you are in the NY area, you have to make it out to this one. If you do, get some pictures and send them and we might just have a little giveaway for you.

Thierry Henry has joined a very elite club after appearing in France’s 1-nil win over Colombia the other night.

Thuram, Desailly, Deschamps, Vieira, Zidane and now Henry have all worn the Les Blues jersey at least 100 times and for Henry, it doesn’t look to end any time soon.

France is in preparations for their Euro 2008 Group of Death (which consists of Romania, Holland and Italy) and you’ve got to think that the weight of expectations are squarely on the shoulders of Henry and Franck Ribery.

Maybe Becks isn’t the only guy that can make the crossover (think Razors) to the States.

All you need is a little love from Snoop!

Gotta give it to Reebok for giving us a different and very important side of Thierry Henry.

I actually have no idea what the point of this video is, or why it was made. But it really doesn’t matter because it has Paz Vega in it, and well, she’s hot. It must be good to be Thierry Henry…

After torching Premiership defenses for fun, Thierry Henry’s La Liga adjustment took just a little bit longer than we all expected. But I think it’s safe to say he’s back to the form we all love, making defenders look stupid when giving too much space.
