Henry still has the touch of class needed to win a game by my reckoning, even if he's not getting any younger. Anelka would be any good if his manager didn't continuously misuse him - the amount of times I saw him dropping deeper towards midfield rather than pushing up not only in this game but against Uruguay was unbelievable. I thought Malouda was better than anyone else in a French shirt barring, of course, Ribery as well - he did, after all, have their only meaningful effort on goal.
As for Cisse, maybe you have a point there, but I still think Gallas, Diaby and Sagna are quality defenders, even if they're not exactly world-beaters or anything.
