dadabashua1: if english comprehension is your problem- please go enroll in a class - i never said he wasn’t the highest scorer- i said important goals France highest level at the world cup before they won it in 1998 was Semi Finals in Mexico 86 when they had the greats like Michel Platini and Jean Tigana —// so that was their best outing before 1998 —-// so when France defeated Croatia in that same Semi Final stage, who scored the 2 “IMPORTANT GOALS” to make them break that semi finals jinx? it was not Thiery Henry, I remember clearly because I was almost a graduate in the university when France 98 was played and i watched it live so you are the internet analyst here - it was Lilian Thuram that scored both goals - a defensive midfielder- so stop talking rubbish - even in the finals - which was the first time France played at that level and they beat Brazil 3-0 … it was Zidan and Guivarch (i think) who scored the IMPORTANT goals which won the world cup for France - i watched it live so stop talking nonesense bro IMPORTANT GOALS not Most goals |

Why is this arguement even getting to page 2-3 let alone page 8, those arguing Henry was shifted to the right for Eto, when Inter Milan won their champions League and in that 2009/10 season Eto played many times on the wings to accommodate Milito as the striker what about that ? Does that make Milito a better striker ? Henry was a far better player/footballer compared to Eto 4 Likes |

ogbonti:as important and Cr7 and Messi are,why are they yet to win the world cup sir? Why is it difficult for some of you to give credit where it is due,no be everything be sentiments and rivalry, see I'm a responsible football fan,a player mustn't come from the team I support or like to admit such a player is good and deserves all the credit,that same Henry you typing gibberish about also played a key role in France winning the euros 2 year later(even scored in the competition),see ehhh when you are ready to keep emotions and sentiments aside you will see better,I can bet it with you if Henry was a player that played for your team or the side you like or support,you won't type those jokes you typed up there,any player that makes the final list of any national team world cup squad,and even plays in the games,not to talk of topping the team scoring chart is not just a key player in that team but a VERY IMPORTANT KEY PLAYER 2 Likes 1 Share |

dadabashua1: Those who administer world football - those who control the game - the rules and everything about it makes decisions and you, an unknown and irrelevant internet spectator is here discussing emotionally - let me not even go into the distant past - when Germany won the world cup in 2014, who was the Ballon D’Or a German player ? When France won the world Cup in 2018, who was the Ballon D’Or a French Player ? you see how myopic you are ? In world football analysis, is winning the world cup a yardstick to measure a player’s overall importance? yes for team recognition it’s great to win the world cup but individually if you win the world cup - you must be dominant in that tournament to be fully and duly recognized - by scoring very IMPORTANT goals - like what Ronaldo Nazario de Lima did in 2002 by scoring 2 goals in the world cup finals to win the world cup for Brazil beating Germany 2-0 1 Like |

dadabashua1: Ronaldo Nazario de Lima won the world cup in 2002 and dominated - scoring 2 important goals Zidane did same in 1998 world cup finals scoring 2 Maradona did same in Mexico 86 These are the examples am talking about! |

ogbonti:the more you post ,the more of joke you look,you said a player that makes his national teams world cup squad and top scoring chart,also played two years later to help his team to win the euros,top his national team all time goal scorer,yet not a key or important player to such a team? I doubt the age you claim to be,you now beginning to sound like a toddler, pls don't make me regret replying you o,when you said 1998 you were almost a uni graduate trust me you raised my expectations I was like aha see one elder stateman,but your choice of words and points raised I'm highly disappointed, no offence intended, but I expected more to be honest 2 Likes 1 Share |

ogbonti:Euro is bigger and better than 5 AFCON Eto has One Olympic gold medalCan't be compared to Confederations Cup. Henry score and won against his country. Took Mallorca from Relegation zone to EuroIn1998, Henry led Monaco to UCL semi final by scoring 7 goals. Eto has3 Champions League WinWorld is bigger than UCL. Eto has Pichichi winsEto won just 1 pinchichi compare to the 2 European Golden and 4 EPL Top Scorer Henry won Eto won a Treble twice at BarcelonaJust so you know, Henry won treble too but treble is not an achievement. Man City has won treble without UCL so its useless. EVEN Henry once said Eto won Champions league with 2 clubs Henry could not make Arsenal win one He had to come to Barca at their peak to win it[/quote] Your argument is flawed. Every single trophy Arsenal won during Henry's time, Henry led the team or competition with goals but we can't say the same for Eto. In 2005/2006 season, Ronaldinho led Barcelona to win UCL with 7 goals. In 2008/2009 season, Messi and Henry led Barcelona. Eto contributed 4goals while Henry that operated from flanked throughout the tournament scored 5. At Inter, It was Milito and then Sneijder contributed too. Even Thierry Henry once said, “If Eto’s name was Etodinho, that is if Eto was Brazilian- he would have won the Ballon D’Or” ….. because Eto was playing quality football that was out of this world at his peak!You don't even the difference between Balon D'or & FIFA World Best then. In 2003 & 2004, Henry was nominated for FIFA World Best and he finished second twice. Although Eto didn’t win the world cup does not mean, individually he was not an excellent player and among the world immortals of the beautiful game - Or because Messi didn’t win the world cup you want to conclude Fernando Torres who won the world cup with spain is a better player than Messi ? The comparison doesn’t work that way …World Cup or not, Eto is a step below Henry. If Thierry Henry had played International football for Guadeloupe where his parents are from originally, will he single handedly be able win the world cup for Guadeloupe ? so let’s stop rating Eto less because of Cameroun’s inability to win the world cup like France….Leave World Cup cos you don begin make excuses for Cameroon. At Eto's peak, Barcelona was arguably the best club and strongest club in Europe. I want to know why he failed to win European Golden Boot after several attempts. Arsenal was not even the best in England but Henry won it twice. When Henry won the the world cup in 1998, was he an outstanding player who scored important goals to win that tournament ? nopeThis comment shows you dont know football. does Inconsequential players end up as their country's top scorer in major tournaments like the World Cup, Euro and Confederations Cup? Let me school you alittle cos its obvious you don't know football. In France 98, Henry topped goal chart for France. In Euro 2000, he was top scorer for France. Confederations Cup in 2003, he also finished as top scorer and was voted Player of the Tournament. Before i forget, he scored the winning goal against Eto's Cameroon. [/quote] please respect your own African brother Eto[/quote] I should ignore facts because of respect? Even Didier Drogba was better than ThieryYou sound very ridiculous. If he played in France National Teeam, Drogba at his peak will bench Henry at his peakOMG!! If Eto played for France at his peak he will bench Henry at his peakFootball no be for you. just go watch hockey. Anelka was a better player - na stubbornness na him destroy him career - any black man signed by Real Madrid as a striker is not an ordinary person and when you are given regular play time as a black man playing that forward role at Madrid, you are a very very special player - and that was Nicolas AnelkaEven Giroud better pass Henry. know this and know peace![/quote] 1 Like 1 Share |

maestroferddi: He scored 2 in 2 separate champions league final Henry didn’t even score 1. In addition to that, he won Afcon and Olympics for a below average cameroun side. You should put ETOo in that France team and see if he won’t score in a World Cup final. When it comes to complete pure strikers in the last 30 years, only fenomeno is above Etoo 1 Like |

Fuckyoumod:your village man analysis A Samuel Etoo that played Central forward for Barca is the person you refer to as a local Cameroonian? That position is played by the best of the best. From the time of Kluivert Geovanni Etoo Suarez Lewandoski The least person to play that position is aubameyang. Etoo is in the league of gods. If you think rijkaard is stupid to play Etoo cf ahead of Henry Is Pep also stupid? As far as striking is concerned,Etoo is second only the Ronaldo de Lima 1 Like |

Derry213:thats because u don’t know football If you understand football, you go know why Henry operated from flank. First, Henry was past his prime when he joined Barcelona. Secondly, he plays same position with Eto who has been in the club for many year. Not like Eto dropped form…. You just expect Barcelona to bench Eto for Henry? Barcelona had to look for a way to accommodate both that why Henry played from flank not because Eto was better. 1 Like |
