Thierry Henry joined Zlatan Ibrahimović and Alexi Lalas on Tuesday for a 15-minute video shoot with Kevin Burkhardt, David Ortiz, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter. The roundtable aired on Fox Sports at 6:01 ET yesterday, one day ago.

What did the legends say?

Henry and Ibrahimović traded sharp takes on France’s attacking shape and Spain’s midfield control. Alexi Lalas pushed back on both, calling France’s backline “too soft” for a knockout duel. Rebecca Lowe steered the debate toward tactics, pressing Henry for his view on Kylian Mbappé’s role as a false nine.
