So it has been officially announced today that Raymond Domenech has recalled the fascinating french all time top scorer and Barca's striker Thierry Henry after being ruled out of last game's FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Faroe Islands. Although the promising Gignac did his job well against the Faroes and scored the winning goal... we definitely can never survive without Henry... especially in the next two decisive matches against Romania and Serbia!!! Anyways after missing the last 3 international games with France ( The friendlies against Nigeria and Turkey and the Qualifier against Faroe Islands ) due to injury, the medical team that were treating Henry have finally announced that he is 100 percent fit to play the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™ qualifying double-header against Romania and Serbia as well as the first match in the new La Liga season against Sporting Gijon!!! However, Domenech didn't recall the captain, Patrick Vieira claiming that there is no place for him currently in the squad. ( i know... Domenech is a prick!!! ) he said that he needed to see Vieira play more matches with Inter Milan. (WTF?!) Although Vieira played for 45 minutes in the first match in the new Italian league season against Bari, it was clearly not enough for " Mr. Domenech "

It has been recently announced that Oly Lyon is interested in the former gunners, Patrick Vieira and Alexander Hleb, It is set to be a summer of change at the Ligue 1 club, after they ended the season without the title for the first time in eight years!!! Anyway the possibility of Hleb joining Lyon is greater than that of Viera even though his team (Barcelona) had an outstanding season!!! but the thing is Hleb spent most of the season on the bench i.e his main contributions to the team was in the ceremonies and celebrations ONLY!!! This actually lead to the player seeking a move away from Camp Nou!!! Lacombe revealed they are keen to snap up the 28-year-old. "Hleb is a good player, we'll see what we can do," he told OL TV.
He also believes that Viera would be a good buy for Lyon. The
french captian and holding midfielder could also be on his way to Les Gones as he said that he does not want to leave the San Siro, but admitted he could be on the move
if it would improve his chances of making France's squad for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™.

France bounced back from their unconvincing performance against Nigeria earlier this week to beat 10-man Turkey in Lyon tonight.
Having been booed off after a 1-0 loss in St Etienne three days ago, France were eager to put those memories to bed and did so courtesy of Karim Benzema's first-half penalty at the Stade de Gerland. While the margin of victory was narrow, France could have had many more on a night when they kept Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Demirel busy.
Florent Malouda could have got France off to a flying start in under 90 seconds, but his right-footed shot from close range went wide of the target. Benzema was similarly wayward before Turkey began to come into the game, starting with a long-range effort by Halil Altintop that that was held by Hugo Lloris in the France goal.
Tuncay Sanli's header was also straight at the goalkeeper just before the half hour mark. Nicolas Anelka missed a great chance from close range and Turkey raced back down the other end where Arda Turan sent a shot wide from the edge of the area.
But the game then turned when Uzulmez hauled down Anelka inside the area to earn himself a red card and France a penalty. Benzema, playing on what may not be his home ground for much longer (unfortunately) :(, dispatched the penalty into the right-hand corner of the goal.
France began the second half keen to add to their lead but Anelka was twice denied in quick succession with efforts from outside the area. Lloris kept out a shot from Hakan Kadir Balta, but it was the hosts who were clearly in the ascendancy with Andre Pierre Gignac forcing a save from Demirel before sending a second effort wide.
Yoann Gourcuff then had a shot blocked by Gokhan Zan and Demirel saved from Lassana Diarra as the pressure piled on. Demirel did well to deny in-demand Bayern Munich awesome winger Franck Ribery, saving with his feet, and Zan was again the man in the way as Jeremy Toulalan fired in a long-range effort.
There was no let up from the hosts as the game moved into the final 15 minutes as Ribery met Sidney Govou's cross but saw Demirel keep out the shot. Demirel then pulled off another great save to deny the substitute Govou, using his feet to keep out a shot from the edge of the area.
Govou went even closer moments later, but his shot came back off the post in the 87th minute. Demirel's feet denied Ribery from long-range and the goalkeeper then held on to Jean-Alain Boumsong's header from a corner as France had to settle for victory by a single goal. :D :D :D
Personally, I am so proud im a Les Bleus fan because this team shows the spirit that no other team in the world have by dominating a game like this against one of the most significant teams in the world and stunning them real bad although they are currently having such a hard time as they are being booed by their own fans on their own pitch and domenech simply messing everything around!!!!
