Arsenal boss Wenger: Everyone's forgotten about Henry


Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes World Cup pundits have forgotten about France.

Wenger reckons the unfancied French should not be underestimated in Germany, with the inspirational Thierry Henry one of several experienced players.
Wenger said: "I watched England's match against Paraguay and it wasn't stunning. I'm wondering why France don't get more credit.
"Henry can have a great World Cup but you have to be careful with that. If the team plays badly, a single player cannot do everything.
"I think France have exceptional potential, though. All their players are first choices with big European clubs.
"It will be the last World Cup for many of them and I think they can go a very long way."
