Ronaldo won world footballer in 1996 and 1997 without playing much international football

He won based on his club career what individual award has Henry won in his whole club career.

In Juve he was surplus to requirement, In Barca he was more of a peripheral player.

In every club Ronaldo Lima played for he was always number one on the team sheet.

A Barca fan should know of the goals Ronaldo scored against Compostella and tell me any goal Henry has scored in his career even in training that matches that.

Imagine all these twats making noise

DayoKanu has pleaded with me that we should let Muki join us in our hostile takeover of the league, but I cannot be carrying any deadweight.

I assure all Nairalanders that MEND Militants FC will be top of the league by week 10 latest.

Sooting Stars will be in 2nd place to shoot down anyone who tries to assail our position.

Why you tell them? Watch as we kidnap Davidylan, TKB bundled to Okija and forced to change his name to "UP SOOTING" Remember pete Edochie

NB: Top 5 is a risky position for you if you love yourself, So you better drop now else>,

Juve vs Madrid 2003 semi finals in Turin Ronaldo was injured but Del Bosque had to bring him in to play.

The goals Ronaldo scored at Barcelona are stuffs of legend Henry can never score it even on PS3 watch Barca vs Compostella

Eewo kamari, emi ko so isokuso o

Man Utd also celebrated when they won Carling cup

Rivaldo made key contributions in 2002 finals Kahn had to spill his shot for Ronaldo.

Henry in all the key finals choked. Missed one on one sitters against Barca 06, Man Utd 09, Liverpool 2001, Galatasaray 2000., Italy 2000.

Tell me a final Henry has lived up to. Confed cup 2001 that Brazil largely sent their home based players and lowly rated players.
Washington and co

Henry 2nd best striker? Unless there are only 2 strikers in the world

Na wa o. Just c=because I gave David the chance to lead for a few weeks , He is now chatting bollocks.

Typical Gunner climax before the main act.

People are talking about World cup, Euro cup, CL finals you are talking about confed cup

WHy not challenge cup or beach soccer since its also organised by FIFA Gayyners never change Lil wonder they were climaxing when they won Amsterdam and Emirate cup

A good finish is much desirable for any club as displayed by Man Utd and Real in 2008.

A good start like Arsenals 2008 and Barcas 2008 ended with nothing

Henry ran rings around players like nesta and cannavaro in that final. He was man of the match in IMO. Did I hear u right saying eto'o is better than henry?

Did I hear ran rings? Man Of the Match? when his team was 1 minute from losing he was still running rings.
Are you talking about a game you played on PS cos this cant be Euro 2000

BTW does your nanny/babysitter allow you to watch football matches?

DK, I am making my move this weekend o!

I expect you to cover me. I do not want to leave you behind. Its lonely at the top, and I need a strong ally with me!

Ibime I full ground oh I hope say na Oil bunkering runz.

Whats better than coming from behind??

Why did you lose 32 points for trading players? What a poor team manager.

That was a deliberate thing to make the competition more even. If I should go full throttle, it would be an unfair contest.

I gave you gap(Using Ibadan slangs)

That was down to the decision of the coach bottom line is the matches he played he made enough impact to score the most goals for France even in the midst of more experienced players

Can a coach decide to bench an important player in an important game? How many important games have Zidane, CR7, Ronaldo Lima, Messi been benched regardless of whom the coach is Even Ladan Bosso cant do that.

He is France's all-time highest goal-scorer a country with players like Platini,Tigana,Fontaine,Zidane e.t.c no amount of bad belle can change that

Imagine comparing Henry a striker to midfielders why didnt you also include that he scored more than Barthez, Deschamps, and Dessailly?

Etoo won 2 CL as an important player in both. Tell us what Henry won as an important player in his team.

What else could Henry have done? They suffered a freak loss to Senegal and he got red carded in the first half against Uruguay even Zidane could not salvage things against Denmark so what are you on about??You seem to forget that football is a team sport

Henry was at his peak and couldnt score against Tony Sylva of Senegal. He became so frustrated he got carded against Uruguay. SImply because Zidane wasnt available.
Zidane had to play against Denmark in crutches because Henry, Vieira, and Pires were so useless

Henry was so useless in Juve where trezegol achieved. He had all the chances in this world to bury barcelona and man u in 2006 and 2009 respectively but goofed if not for eto'os opener.

Is that the first time? Henry chokes at key moments. In Euro 2000 finals he was busy making back passes to Toldo before Trezegol nailed it.

If the word World class wont be used loosely, Then Henry does not qualify

The same sun that reported that Man Utd was going to buy Neuer for 5million.

Sun is the British version of "better lover and hints"

My argument was in response to dayokanu's claim that Henry was not an important member in the French team in any of their major triumphs in World Football and thats a white hot lie

Tell me a player who didnt start in the quarters semi and didnt play at all in the finals is an important player?

In the French team Barthez, Thuram, Desailly, Deschamps, Zidane and Blanc were more important.

Has Henry ever been the player of the tournament in either a World cup, CL, Euro cup?

Why didnt Henry lift the French when Zidane was injured in 2002? what of when Zidane retired in 2004? What of in Euro 2008? where was Thierry?

Henry is a good player but not a great

Burnley Keeper shoulda copped more points than the Howard, Reina and other top keepers

Sauron Check this link France vs Croatia

http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/archive/edition=1013/results/matches/match=8786/report.html

Where are the GAYYners to fabricate another lie to defend Therry? A40 has done it and HNIC has done it who is next

Obviously, you are joking when you wrote the above.
You must be the only one that didnt know that the French had a striker crisis at the 1998 world cup.
Guivarch started in the Final against Brazil
Henry got injured was why he wasn't played in the knock out stages!

Lies!!!!!! 2nd lie by a GAYnner today!!!! within 20minutes

Henry was brought in as a substitute in the quarters cos he was not good enough to start.
Henry was brought in as a substitute in the semi cos he was not good enough to start
Henry wasnt used at all in the finals the greatest game of the world cup

Henry was not injured at France 1998 he was simply not good enough

Not one bit.

If by December I am in the same position I would be worried

Usain Bolt wont be worried by a poor start the finishing matters more Check Chidi Imoh in Seoul 88

Our position doesnt tell the whole story, Sooting traded players and lost 32 points

Intregal part of which Barca side?
I will name 6 players better than Henry in the Barca side that won the TREBLE.

Messi, Etoo, Xavi, Iniesta, Alves, Puyol, Toure need I name more?

Henry was the top scorer for France in 98?
How many goals did he score? 3 goals. . . .
Against which teams? Saudi Arabia and South Africa.  
Even Dayokanu in his old age will score 6 goals against those teams.
Thuram's 2 goals against Croatia weigh more than Henry's chicken goals against pathetic sides.

Goals scored against South Africa were actually scored by Pierre Issa. If Henry's goals were that important why was he benched against Italy, Croatia and Brazil? I guessed Saudi and SA were more fitting matches for Henry. when the going got tough they booted him out and brought in tested players
in WC 2006 he scored 2 goals against Togo imagine!!!!

It would interest you to know that no French Player has outscored Henry in any major tournament since France 98 if that does not tell you about Henry's importance i don't know what will

LIE!!!! Euro 2004 Zidane outscored Thierry and Zizou scored vital goals in vital games

In Euro 2004, France played England, Switzerland and  Croatia and Greece. Henry could only score against the weakest Switzerland and He was at his peak in 2004

Henry was considered a joke by many of his peers at that time

Liverpool sold Alonso and where did it get them? Can we conclude the season is over for them as they are 6points behind league leaders while Bayern are 5 points behind

If i'm not mistaken, dis debate is about ruud in his prime vs henry in his prime. Even a half-brained gorilla will tell u ruud isnt worthy of flushing henrys poop.

Then you are mistaken The debate was about CR7 and Henry

Since Liverpool lost 2 out of 3 games we can conclude the season is over for them right?

Which pressure are you talking about? You mean this kind of pressure?

Dont you guys love it when Assanal are winnin the "August league"? It makes all the roaches cretins and twats come out. Watch out by January they would be back to their holes.

If not for these wins, would we eve see Loyika, Vieira and co on this thread?

Henry's achievement
As a member of a team includes
- World Cup
- Euros
- Champions League
- League Championship (EPL, La Liga and Ligue 1)

Frank Lebouef too won the World cup and Euros. The credit of Frances win should go to the Zidanes, Petit, Deschamps, Lizarazu, Thuram, Desailly and co what did he win individualy?

As an Individual
- European Golden Boot (2x: 2004, 2005)
- Premier League top scorer (4x: 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006.)
- English Football Hall of Fame: 2008
- 2nd place FIFA World Player of the Year (2003, 2004)
- 2nd Place Ballon d'Or in 2003 and 3rd Place 2006

All I can see here are 2nd place, 3rd place . Never a winner

If you want to limit great players to only those that won WPOTY and BdO, you will exclude players like Raul, Maldini, Ruud, Buffon, Khan etc, and explain why players like Owen, Sammer and Papin should be considered.

All the players you mentioned here won CL as key players Raul, Maldini and Kahn Buffon has been the best goalkeeper in the world for a minute and He was Italian goalkeeper at the world cup playing every single minute, Tell Us how important Henry was to Frances team of 1998 or 2000 He wasnt in the team of the tournament, didnt start the quarter final, semi final or finals,

Having one great season could get you a BdO award but doesnt necessarily make you a great player

\
WHen was Henry's greatest season in European football. Was it when Valencia was raping him or when Chelsea , Bayern and PSV sent him out of Champions league,
He won in Barca but I can name 6 players who were more important than Henry to Barca. Messi, Etoo, Xavi, Iniesta, Yaya, Alves were more important to the team than Henry was.

The strategy should be "Use Arsenal players at the begining " by December sell them all cos they would begin their free fall then

Can someone tell us when Henry was at his prime?

In Japan Korea when Zidane was injured the onus fell on Henry and the arsenal crew to lead France but they failed.

2005 Zidane retired and Henry led France couldnt beat Israel, Faroe Island and Ireland till the whole nation begged Zidane to come back before France could qualify.,

CR7 >>>>> Henry.

What has Henry ever won to deserve his place among the greats

Henry was fortunate/unfortunate to have contemporaries with the likes of Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo etc.

Shevchenko, Nedved all did it in the same time why not Thierry?

Tell me when Henry was at his prime and what he won then

CR7 was in his prime in 2008 and won EPL and CL

Has won the world cup, euro cup, CL, Confed cup, bla,bla, bla
Will RONALDO ever win the World Cup, never mind the Euro Cup?
Let's wait and see

Did Henry win all these in the EPL? Typical Gayyner who turns logic upside down

Who cares what he achieved in France sitting in the shadows of Zidane.

When Zidane left and Henry had to lead we saw how well he did in Korea Japan and WC qualifiers.

Henry always lived up to expectations.
Ask Alex Ferguson.
If i'm not mistaken, he scored against all the EPL teams.

CR7 a winger also did that If I amnot mistakened

Henry won 2 EPL. 0 CL, 0 Ballon D'Or. 0 World footballer of the year.

Henry's incompetence made some idiotic fans believe FIFA was biased against the EPL. But when a player gets to the final and messes up like Henry does regularly.

Henry is a star playing against Southampton and co
But check games that matter like
UEFA Cup final vs Galatasaray 2000
Euro 2000 finals when he turned out to be an additional defender for Italy till Trezeguet came in.
FA cup final vs Liverpool 2001
CL finals vs Barca 2006
