Not only would some French be happy to lend them Henry to help with the goal
keeping, but Domenech will be available just after the world cup since they
are likely to need a new coach as well. He comes at a fraction of the price
too (approx. 1/10th the salary)

Actually he's probably more likely to receive the Congressional Medal of
Honor for services to American sport.

Since I posted a bunch of it, I might as well finish it:

FT 1-1 (Gerrard 4' - Dempsey 40')

Take the point and run, America.

Just take the gift and run straight to the Slovenia game.

You'll need at least a point from that, or elimination is likely.

England clearly the better side, but a catastrophic (career-ending?)
error by Green squares it, and the English can't break down the
American keeper in the second half.

Entertaining, though not spectacular, match.

Understand that Arsenal are after him, he looks like an Arsenal keeper
