From Thierry Henry's injury to Toronto FC's latest heartbreak, here are five thoughts from some of Saturday's MLS action ...
LOS ANGELES -- Greetings from Southern California, where I opted to spend some time with the U.S. women's team this week as it prepares for the Olympic qualifying tournament later this month in Vancouver. (We have MLS Draft coverage elsewhere on SI.com, so don't worry.) I decided to open up the mailbag this week for questions on Alex Morgan, Clint Dempsey, Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and a number of other topics. Let's dive in:
Thierry Henry made a sensational scoring return for English club Arsenal as his goal sealed a 1-0 win over Leeds United in the third round of the FA Cup.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Thierry Henry is on the verge of a return to the club on a two-month loan deal from MLS side New York Red Bulls.

Know your Major League Soccer -- Five things to take away from Week 18:
The French star follows David Beckham's footsteps, leaving Europe to bring his skills to the States
Major League Soccer's worst-kept secret became official Wednesday when the Red Bulls and MLS finally shined the big, bright light on Thierry Henry's long-silhouetted figure.
Just over an hour into Barcelona's Champions League semifinal elimination to Internazionale, Thierry Henry knew his time at the club was up. Barcelona, the holders, needed two goals to reach the final but instead of using Henry's experience from the bench, coach Pep Guardiola replaced Zlatan Ibrahimovic with Jeffren Suarez, a 22-year-old rookie with just two first-team goals to his name. The snub could not have been more public, and it marked the low point of a terrible year for Henry.
Three thoughts on Thierry Henry's almost certain move to the New York Red Bulls after the 2010 World Cup:
With the recent announcement by MLS that teams will have the ability to add two or even three designated players to their rosters, the rumor mill is already rife with names of potential imports (one being Mexico's Pavel Pardo to the Galaxy). Leaving aside a detailed discussion of whether MLS will begin to morph into a league of haves and have-nots -- the quick answer being possibly, but only to a degree and certainly unlike that of European leagues because of the existing salary cap -- the question will be what type of players teams bring in.
CNN's Alex Thomas reports on how football's governing body could change the number of referees at next summer's World Cup.
Soccer star Thierry Henry became the villain of Dublin on Wednesday.
This one's easy. Thierry Henry is a cheat. He helped France cheat its way to the 2010 World Cup by intentionally handling the ball to control it before crossing it for William Gallas to score les Bleus' equalizer in extra time against Ireland on Wednesday (RECAP).
A couple of weeks ago, Pelé, still the greatest player ever to put on cleats, made a ridiculous exaggeration: The American public had supposedly been misled to believe David Beckham was a goal scorer.
Barcelona's signing of Thierry Henry from Arsenal was taken by some as a signal that the balance of power in European soccer was shifting towards the Spanish Liga and away from the English Premiership.
Going, going, gone. Words reminiscent of the time Team Limey sold off the last of the family silver to pay for its continuing love affair with liquor. But here they provide a synopsis of transfer situation of two of Europe's leading strikers and one who's tipped to rise to that caliber.
