The France national team at last has shown a good play in the last WC qualifiers matchup against Austria national team, where french won by 3:1, keeping the hope of their fans alive for the play-off. Thierry Henry (pictured at left) looked like very well during the time he played on he play field (on the second time he was changed) and realised a penalti that supplied him with a bonus that let him came back to FTBL top forwarders rating.

Henry consequently got a succulent bonus of 17.34 points overtaking the 3.63 points plank (set in the "Barcelona" - "Inter" Championship league matchup) and returning to last position in the worldwide top forwarders rating with 178.32 points.

The next matchup where Henry will take part in it's going to be the one between “Barcelona” - “Valencia”. To continue moving up in the chart he needs to overtake a 21 points plank, what obliges “Barcelona” to achieve victory: otherwise, Thierry will be penalized.
