International football round-up: Thierry Henry begs France to decide on Raymond Domenech

Thierry Henry last night called for the fate of French coach Raymond Domenech to be decided once and for all.

France fought back from 2-0 down in 17 minutes to earn a 2-2 draw in Romania, but Domenech's position will be decided by the French Football Federation on Wednesday.

The FFF said in the close season that Domenech's job would be assessed after the first three World Cup qualifying matches.

Les Bleus are fourth in Group Seven with four points from those three games - two points adrift of Lithuania and Serbia.

But Barcelona star Henry insisted: "There is a point when things need to be clear. We must end this debate.

"We played for him (Domenech), for us, for French football. Let's try and qualify instead of trying to start controversies ahead of important matches. We stand by the coach."

Despite losing Patrick Vieira injured in the pre-match warm-up, France earned a point through goals by Franck Ribery and Yoann Gourcuff. Florentin Petre and Dorin Goian scored for Romania.

Germany coach Joachim Loew has thrown Kevin Kuranyi out of his squad after the striker's reaction to being left out of the team that beat Russia 2-1 in Dortmund.

Kuranyi left his team-mates in the stands at the end of the first half and did not return to the team hotel later.

Instead, two of Kuranyi's friends came to the hotel to collect his belongings. "I cannot accept how Kevin reacted and so in future I will no longer select him," said Loew.

Germany, who play Wales on Wednesday, scraped past the Russians with goals by Lucas Podolski and Michael Ballack. Andrei Arshavin replied and then hit a post.

"Russia were pushing until the very end for the equaliser and it certainly wouldn't have been undeserved," admitted Ballack.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor scored four goals as Togo routed Swaziland 6-0 in Group 11 of the African qualifying section in Lome. Adebayor, who missed the last game because he was unhappy about travel arrangements, had threatened not to play again but changed his mind.

In South America, Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero fired Argentina to a 2-1 win over Uruguay. Ten men were booked and Argentina coach Alfio Basile called the referee a "disaster".

Sven Goran Eriksson saw his Mexico side crash 1-0 in Jamaica. The former England boss said: "We must score when we have the chance - we had four good opportunities."
