The Mighty Dozen
Thierry Henry
France need some of the goals Henry keeps scoring for Arsenal if they are to make an impact at the World Cup.
The 28 year old has scored 31 goals, including a few important ones, in 76 appearances for his country but often seems to save his most thrilling performances for the London club.
The striking partnership of Henry and Juventus's David Trezeguet is one of the most devastating in world soccer on paper but neither man scored at the 2002 World Cup, which France left without a win after the group stage.
Henry's supply chain, it might be argued, is of superior quality at Arsenal but France have a few midfield artists, starting with one Zinedine Zidane.
If they get it right and provide Henry the ammunition he requires, France could go a long way in Germany.
