Analysis: Sounds like a pretty good match, if true. Pav's agent loves to talk.

Update: Bouma has suffered a setback in his quest for a return from a dislocated ankle by injuring his toe. That injury will keep his return to action on hold for the immediate future.

Analysis: The dislocated ankle he suffered over a year ago seems to be healed, but having spent so much time on the sidelines, other little injuries will continue to pester him.

Update: Henry admitted using his left hand to keep the ball in play that resulted in the decisive goal for France to qualify for the World Cup in Wednesday's draw with Ireland. "There is little more I can do apart from admit that the ball had contact with my hand leading up to our equalizing goal and I feel very sorry for the Irish," he told the Associated Press. FIFA denied an appeal from Ireland for the game to be replayed because of the blown call.

Analysis: Henry is taking a lot of heat from those calling him a cheater since he celebrated the goal despite knowing he touched the ball with his hand. Should he have called a foul on himself after the goal? We'll have to see if any of the fallout impacts his play for Barcelona.

Analysis: He didn't play for Sweden last week and it was hoped he'd be ready after the international break, so this isn't a good sign.
