Henry impressed by English passion

Thierry Henry has thrown his weight behind England's attempt to win the World Cup for a second time.
The Arsenal striker on Thursday night became the first player to receive the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year Award for a third time. The 28-year-old will be trying to help France to victory at the finals in Germany this summer, but his wish is to see England - whose only triumph came in 1966 - prevail in the near future.
After collecting the award, Henry said: "I really hope that you can have another 1966. I see the passion you have here for your national team and how much you want them to win. You are a nation who loves sport and football and I hope you win the World Cup again because you deserve it."
