Really, how can you have Henry and manage to field a team that can't score goals?
(well I know why: because Domenech won't play Trezeguet, the natural couple with Henry front. Because he didn't bring Giuly, champions league winner with Barcelona and whose goal kicked out AC Milan in the semis. Because Zidane is worried about his status as number one and refuses to have the team play in a manner that fits Henry. And blahblahblah)
I'm struggling to understand why Giuly wasn't included, really. He's a pain in the
neck for anyone when he starts his runs and links up with passes for Barca. I
think he'd really bring yet another cutting edge to the French team. Maybe just
another princess though?

France will pull something off - if not, I think it'll be hard to deal with the
resulting fallout.
