France and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has admitted he may consider retiring from international football after Euro 2008.
Henry, 30, has won the 1998 World Cup and 2000 European Championship with Les Blues, but is unsure whether he will still be around for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
"I want to be involved in the World Cup in 2010 but sometimes desire makes you do things you must no longer do," he said in L'Equipe.
"The World Cup is a long way off. You have to be sure that if you start playing the qualifiers in September, I think you must want to see it through until the end.
"We will see. I am going to be 31. Two more years isn't easy. I am going to see first of all what happens in the Euros.
"I have thought about making my farewells after the Euros. I have thought hard about this subject - I am not going to say I haven't."
