Thierry Henry has joined the majority of the France squad in agreeing to give away his World Cup bonuses.
The former Arsenal striker told L'Equipe newspaper he thinks "it's pretty normal that we forego the bonuses given what we showed in South Africa," where France crashed out in the first round without winning a game.
Earlier this week, it emerged that Henry and Nicolas Anelka were the only players from the squad yet to sign a document from the French federation stipulating that they will relinquish the bonuses totaling around 3 million euros ($4 million).
Henry said that the confusion surrounding his decision was due to the federation's late notice as his agent was informed "only last Tuesday."
Anelka, who has been suspended for 18 games following his clash with former coach Raymond Domenech at the World Cup, said he wants to get the bonuses and then allocate them to the financing of various projects.
