hucarson and jackal,
i think henry has decided to do the talking with his legs scoring when important or would u tell me again that scoring thrice in 2 games at the world cup is a mean feat or the world cup games are just like premiership games,well good to know that the le bleus have started getting back to winning ways albeit slowly but the sky is the starting point for them

scoring thrice in 2 games at the world cup

Twice in 3 games*
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by nightrider: 5:35pm On Jun 24, 2006
ok, who said henry is playing well?

Huc, jack and the rest of you, whats you gat to say now?

No Zidane = a goal scoring henry.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by shango(m): 5:49pm On Jun 24, 2006
like I said, his teammates are holding him back, Thierry aint the problem, his teammates are, and overrated Zidane shouldnt even start anymore. Most overrated player of all time, thats Zidane
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by Christino(m): 6:06pm On Jun 24, 2006
Shangz,
Zidane demands some respect, that's d best player of our generation. Never overrated. He's just passed his peak.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by shango(m): 6:18pm On Jun 24, 2006
Chris, does he really. I mean really demand that much respect. He is a good player but for all the praise and acolades he receives and the fact he hasnt played for years like other well established player and hasnt proven himself over a long timespan I do not think he should be up there with the likes of Raul or Beckham or Ronaldo or Henry.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by kitaun(m): 7:04pm On Jun 24, 2006
christino,
sorry meant to say twice in three games.



4 others,even if france beats spain 12-0,critics like u would still say its a fluke,had togo won france even by a slim margin u would have shouted urself hoarse that u had predicted the downfall of france,give kudos to whom its due,they might not be at their best yet but playing with teamas like togo and the swiss that are not of the same pedigree will sure put pressure on them,the same togo won naija's dream team at the 1996 atlanta olympics in a friendly with all our stars in the team at the national stadium b4 the competition proper here in lagos 3-1,the same thing went ahead to defeat teams liuke argentina and brazil to earn themselves the gold,abeg football is not mathematics

Shangz, this is a forum,i'm aware but you should follow Zidane's record especially from Italy to Spain. In an ESPN Soccernet Poll, do you know that Zidane beat Pele and Maradona to win the Player of the century? That's public opinion, I voted Ronaldo anyway.

Haba, if there's one player in our generation who's very close to him and I believe will surpass him, it's gotta be Dinho. Dat guy is a living legend, he's past his peak, that's all I have to say. But to compare him with people who once looked up to him, is like saying Yakubu is better than Hasselbaink. I'm sure you know his age. Maradona timed out as well. You know Maradona's last international game was when they beat us 2-1 in our second game in the world cup in 94. He hollered 2 freekicks @ Rufai who parried the ball into the waiting legs of Claudio Cannigia twice. He went ahead to play for Boca Juniors, the rest is history. Legends time out, just like Okocha, Baggio, Cole you know.
Don't be deceived, football age is about Real age minus five (averagely).

For a player like Zizu, we do not need to disrespect him when he's off peak, his happening days speak volumes for him, just like the days of Raul Gonzalez. You may choose not to respect him but hv at the back of your mind that that's one playmaker we'll prolly never see again. APARI BABA.

Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by otolorin(m): 5:41pm On Jun 25, 2006
cant wait to see the critics say sumtin [b]hard[/b]against france when they show spain the way out!!!!
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by hucarson(m): 7:05pm On Jun 25, 2006
U must be dead-drunk to think France will kick spain out of this world cup.
France struggled against Togo for almost 60-70 mins and thatz hard to take.
The Spaniards will kill France off and i cannot wait to see Torres and Joaquin making a meal outta Gallas and Thuram.
My Verdict: Spain 3-1 France.

Mediocre is too big for Henry, he is a small boy in major tournaments.

Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by kitaun(m): 6:39pm On Jun 27, 2006

Pls help me ask how many goals the so-called overhyped guy Luca Toni has scored in this mundial,at least he scored 31 4 his clubside in the serie A
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by Christino(m): 6:46pm On Jun 27, 2006
Dont mind haters o.

All the same, I said Henry will score a hatrick today, but won't be enough, let's wait and see.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by debosky(m): 7:36pm On Jun 27, 2006
i believe henry will score today, but i don't think it will be enough, I love france but espana is going to be too much for them

My Verdict: Spain 3-1 France.

at the moment, -, who's dead drunk?
[b]huc
, you never want to comprehend the truth!

and wait a minute - you said your verdict was what? spain 3 - france 1? right? is that not what you said?
now are you thinking of changin the arrangement of your verdict? - probably when you were downloading your verdict from your frail mind, you misappropriated the positioning of the country names because you sure saw a good verdict.

no harms - hucarson, just that you're always on the recievin end!

hey bro, what have you got to say as per brazil - france?
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by Christino(m): 2:30pm On Jun 28, 2006
Man mi, e pain me say spain jabo, e don tey wey those guys been dey try move up for this competition.

Anyhow, this line must win the cup, i mean d winner of france brazil must win or whoever wins the winner of that match.

Football is not mathematics so our predictions are based on hopes, kai, but 3-1 too much o of which na penalty my boys take score, too bad Raul won't add that to his resume.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by Jackal(m): 2:59pm On Jun 28, 2006
@ Christino.

I quite disagree with ur analysis about this line.
Argentina still remains the threat of this world cup.
I am already predicting Argentina-Brazil final or Argentina-Italy final.
Brazil will definitely beat France cos the French have not really impressed me with their array of stars.
Re: Why Is Thierry Henry Mediocre In Major Tournaments? by Christino(m): 4:42pm On Jun 28, 2006
Did i hear you say definitely? Remember how Bulgaria lost 3-0 to us in USA 94 and went ahead to beat Argentina and eventually reached the semi-finals, I'm afraid the french may have found their feet now, they beat brazil in europe, don't you think they can do it again?
Meanwhile i did not say france will win cup, i predicted that whoever wins along this battle line will win the cup.
