PARIS - In announcing the end of a distinguished 20-year career, Thierry Henry made it clear where he felt more cherished. Air Max 90 Noir Femme .It wasnt France, for which he won the 1998 World Cup, remains the national teams leading goal-scorer, and second-most capped player.Henry, who speaks French, English and Spanish, decided to announce his retirement by posting a message in English on his Facebook page, and via a statement from his future employer, Sky Sports in Britain.The English have made a statue of him, but in France, he has not always been recognized at his full worth, said Frederic Thiriez, the president of the French league. (He) will, nonetheless, remain a legend. He was an exceptional striker.The statue of Henry, on his knees celebrating a goal, stands outside the home stadium of Arsenal, where he is regarded as the Gunners greatest player.The 37-year-old Henry was linked to a potential coaching role with Arsenal after ending his career at the New York Red Bulls, but said he will become a TV analyst.Henry holds the French record of 51 goals in 123 internationals, but he never achieved the same popularity as Zinedine Zidane, Michel Platini, Raymond Kopa or even Just Fontaine.He started his career at Monaco, played briefly for Juventus, and won more trophies at Barcelona. But its at Arsenal, from 1999 to 2007, where he joined the pantheon of modern greats.He won seven trophies at Arsenal, among them two Premier Leagues, including the unbeaten 2003-04 side. He is their leading goal-scorer all-time (228), in the Premier League (175) and in Europe (42).When asked if he thought about another stint at the club, he said, You kind of never leave Arsenal. How many comebacks do you make? At one point, it will turn out to be a bad movie. We all love the first Rocky, but Im not too sure about the last one.Henry, who was born in the tough Parisian suburb of Les Ulis, started playing football at the age of six, and his talent did not stay unnoticed for long. Nurtured at the national football centre alongside Nicolas Anelka and David Trezeguet, the astute, fast, and technical forward started his professional career at Monaco, where he won the French league in 1997.His achievements with Monaco opened the door to the France team, and he was selected for the World Cup on his home soil. Although Zinedine Zidane was the big star of the tournament, Henry did not disappoint, and scored his first international goal in the group stage against South Africa, then a brace against Saudi Arabia. He also showed his coolness under pressure, scoring from the spot against Italy in a penalty shootout in the quarterfinals.When they (Henry and Trezeguet) had to take penalties against Italy in the quarterfinals it was no problem, even though there was a weight and a responsibility on their shoulders, said Didier Deschamps, the then France captain. It shaped the careers they would go on to have.After a disappointing stint at Juventus, Henry reunited at Arsenal with his former Monaco coach, Arsene Wenger. After failing to score in his first eight games, Henry netted 26 goals in that 1999-2000 season, and would become the Premier Leagues top scorer four times.From Arsenal, Henry joined Barcelona, becoming part of Pep Guardiolas side that won six major trophies two years later, including the Spanish title and a Champions League triumph over United.His international career, which included the 2000 European Championship title, finished on a low. There was the infamous handball in the decisive goal against Ireland in a 2010 World Cup playoff, then in South Africa the team didnt win a game, and refused to train before their final match, after Anelka was sent home for verbally abusing coach Raymond Domenech.It has been an incredible journey ... I have had some amazing memories (mostly good), and a wonderful experience, Henry wrote on Facebook. I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.

Team second Marc Kennedy and lead Ben Hebert plan to leave Martins rink after this season to join reigning national champion Kevin Koe. http://www.nikepaschermax90.fr/ . LOUIS -- From the first pitch, Adam Wainwright thought this could be the day he threw a no-hitter. PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Phillies kept their aces and added another starter. A person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Thursday that right-hander Roberto Hernandez and Phillies agreed to a one-year contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an agreement has not been completed and the player must pass a physical. The 33-year-old Hernandez was formerly known as Fausto Carmona. He was arrested in January 2012 on charges of falsifying his identity that were later dropped. Major League Baseball suspended him for three weeks. Last year, he was 6-13 with a 4.89 ERA for Tampa Bay, and he is 59-82 with a 4.67 ERA over eight seasons overall, seven with the Cleveland Indians. Hernandez gives the Phillies depth on their staff. He is expected to compete for one of two spots in their rotation. General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. made the move on the final day of baseballs winter meetings. The Phillies also selected right-hander Kevin Munson from Arizona in the Rule 5 draft. Among the top rumours earllier in the week were reports that Amaro was shopping Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels along with closer Jonathan Papelbon and All-Star outfielder Domonic Brown. Air Max 1 Blanche Pas Cher. Amaro and manager Ryne Sandberg shot down reports that Lee and Hamels were available. The Phillies are looking to rebound from their first losing season in 11 years and hope to make another post-season run. They signed veteran outfielder Marlon Byrd and re-signed catcher Carlos Ruiz. Both moves are indicative of a team thats trying to contend, not rebuild. Adding Hernandez also fits in that category. Hernandez has his best season with the Indians was in 2007 when he was 19-8 with a 3.06 ERA and finished fourth in AL Cy Young Award voting. He was 13-14 with a 3.77 ERA in 2010 and made the All-Star team. Lee, Hamels and Kyle Kendrick fill Philadelphias top three spots in the rotation. Hernandez, Cuban righty Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez and righties Ethan Martin and Jonathan Pettibone will compete for the final two.
