Xavi Hernandez and Thierry Henry both scored for their respective national teams tonight. Xavi scored the only goal as Spain beat Northern Ireland 1-0 to finish top of their group, Iniesta also played but Puyol was rested. Henry scored France’s first goal in a 2-2 draw against Ukraine. There will be no mention here of what happened at Wembley, but I hope all the non-English readers of this page had a good laugh.
You can see Xavi’s goal here.
And Henry’s goal here.

When Henry plays that well for France and scores such a fantastick goal with his “weaker foot” then Barca fans have to wake and realise there is nothing wrong with Henry and actually there is something with Barca and the players around him.
Messi, Ronnie, Xavi and Inesta are far better then Govou, Ribery, Diarra and Benzema but still Henry ahs 3 in 3 games for France and performing like a world class player yet when he is with Barca they players, apart from the brilliant and most influential player Iniesta, they ignore him and try to take on the whole team or just pass backward.
Titi, Eto’o, in a 4-4-2 formation with much more comptetion for places in midfeild is the answer.
All you die-hard Ronnie fans are starting to find yourselves outnumbered. I saw him yesterday in the South America qualfiers and he was BOOED off in Sau Paulo stadium, in front of his own fans in Brazil after just an hour. I beleive that Barcelona are reaching the end of their reign of power and the old guard of Ronnie, Deco need to be replaced by Toure, Bojan, Henry, Eto’o, Messi.
These players are faster and are more TEAM orientated, the system has to eventually resemble Arsnenal where the play goes through many people rather than an over reliance on one person such as Ronnie. I am not a Ronnie hater; just a realist.
Anyway no injury news hopefully and 3-points on Sunday.
