Your World Cup Final Picture Book

July 10th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanR

While scouring the AP for a World Cup picture to package with the post below this one, I found a ton of fan reaction shots (like the one of these French fans above) and some other pretty phenomenal pictures. So I thought, hey, why not share them? Peep some pictures after the jump, including one of Zidane walking by the World Cup Trophy as he left the stadium shortly after his fratty-Tau Tau Tau headbutt. It’s worth a look.

Also, with so much talk going on about Zidane, I feel I need to give some props to my favorite player in the land of futbol, Thierry Henry. The dude not only made the World Cup Final with France, but played in the Champions League Final with Arsenal back in May. Although, he lost both matches and didn’t score in either. But hey, how many championship soccer matches in Europe have you been a part of? Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Day Four: Thierry Henry

June 8th, 2006 | Posted by PostmanE

(To get you excited for the World Cup - if such a thing is possible - we’ll be rolling out one World Cup related video a day until the whole thing kicks off Friday in Germany.)

So, commenter Chris asked for an Henry video last night. Ask Chris, and you shall receive.

Here’s what appears to be a compilation of his best goals from recent years, most of which seemed to occur in the Premiership. If you didn’t know already, here you go: Henry is a goal-scoring machine.

The music in this isn’t quite as good as the Arctic Monkeys of the Wayne Rooney vid yesterday (or Chumbawumba in the Ronaldinho selection), and it’s a little too slash-metal for me. But the goals, my friends, the goals are worth it. Enjoy.
