when Henry won the world Cup,pls remind who was France highest goal scorer in the tournament? So a player that scored the highest goals for the country is not key right? This is what I was saying most people are using Internet to pass judgement while some of us watched this guys playing days live and direct, I'm sure you just learnt today that Henry was France highest goal scorer are the tournament,behind folks like bastistuta and Davor suker of Croatia grin cheesy


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

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 undecided undecided

After playing as top 9 with some of the best at club level, Eto no touch one European Golden Boot.

In Spain, how many Pinchichi/La liga top scorer him win?

What of La liga Player of the Year?

During Arsenal unbeaten in 2003/2004, Henry topped goals and assists chart.

Henry voted PFA Player of the Year twice
Premier League Top Scorer 4 good times
Twice nominated for FIFA World Best

And him get mind say Henry no dey him level

Well, he’s right cos Henry is bigger and better






No dey cap boss Etoo was better than thiery Henry even blind man know because of etoo dem move Henry go wing when he go Barcelona don't play

Till today, whether Ronaldo or Messi, I have still not seen any player that played football so elegantly and graciously as Henry.

Henry was also remarkably unselfish. If he had been like some ýof the current crop of strikers - particularly Ronaldo, he would have scored even more. Henry would be in a certain goal-scoring position, and he would still pass to a team mate out of generosity.

He was a more skillful and complete player, whereas Etoo was mostly an excellent goal scorer.

The only striker in the class of Henry in the past 30 years is the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Henry retired years before Etoo, but when that name, Thiery Henry, is mentioned today, one immediately thinks greatness. If you hear Etoo's name, you just think...yeah, fantastic goal scorer.

Etoo is almost forgotten. No one talks about him. He talks about himself and makes controversial statements to get attention.

Ronaldo has more career assists than Henry.

Ronaldo is not a pure striker.... He's a winger...

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

ok wait let’s go that route

Eto has 2 African Nations Cup trophy
Euro is bigger and better than 5 AFCON
Eto has One Olympic gold medal
Can't be compared to Confederations Cup. Henry score and won against his country.
Took Mallorca from Relegation zone to Euro
In1998, Henry led Monaco to UCL semi final by scoring 7 goals.
Eto has3 Champions League Win
World is bigger than UCL.
Eto has Pichichi wins
Eto won just 1 pinchichi compare to the 2 European Golden and 4 EPL Top Scorer Henry won
Eto won a Treble twice at Barcelona
Eto won a Treble once at Inter milan
Treble = Champions League, League FA Cup
Just 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 ? nope

it was the likes of Zinedine Zidane (Zizou) Stefan Guivarch, Lilian Thurman, Christian Karenbeau and others including Henry that shared the goals on their way to win the world cup
This 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 Thiery
You sound very ridiculous.
If he played in France National Teeam, Drogba at his peak will bench Henry at his peak
OMG!!
If Eto played for France at his peak he will bench Henry at his peak
Football 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 Anelka
Even Giroud better pass Henry.

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

Put 2002 - 2004 prime Henry in that same Barca side, he would be European golden boot winner all through.

From the time of

Geovanni
Etoo

Lewandoski
The least person to play that position is aubameyang.
Etoo is in the league of gods.

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.

The Henry that Eto played with in Barca was already past his prime. He barely scored 12 goals in his last season in the EPL before moving to Barca. Eto'o cannot measure up to Henry of 2001 - 2006 especially the 2002 - 2004 version.

It's like comparing Harry Kane and Pendu of this season. When you compare players you focus on their prime and longevity to be objective.


Even when etoo was past his prime, he still scored massively at inter Milan

Many of you here are Arguing in IGNORANCE! sad

Nicholas Anelka won the EPL Golden Boot in 1997/1998 season as a Young Unknown 18 Year old Boy!

U Guys think its an Easy feat

The Next 1998/1999 season, He scored 15+goals and Real Madrid Bought him for a Huge Fee!

At Real Madrid, Raul and Fernando Morienties Ganged up against him and another Young Black Striker (Samuel Eto).

Dats Y Eto hated Real Madrid till and was Scoring against them in Real Mallorca!
