Thierry Henry Retires From France National Team

Thierry Henry has followed up his progress to MLS side New York Red Bulls by announcing that he will no longer play for the France national team. The Les Bleus legend will thus end an memorable career in the most shocking of ways with his last game for France being the 2-1 beat to South Africa which saw the past World Cup winners eliminated from South Africa bottom of their group.

France’s all-time testimony goal scorer made a short statement earlier today (Wednesday) that he had retired from the national team: “This is the end for me on the national team.”

Henry therefore played 123 games for his country, winning his first cap in 1997 and playing a major part in helping France become world champions in 1998 when they won the World Cup on home soil.
