UEFA Champions League - The Grand Finale

nimblemarlin17 said:Does Henry lack guts? Who knows, maybe. It’s not like I’ve been checking out his business, nor do I want to. Maybe you have, being a woman and all... But for us, the real deal is that Henry has two legs and they happen to be lightning fast. Not to mention how clinical he is with his right foot.

Look, I'm not disputing Henry's talent on the pitch, but I could never call him a class act because of how arrogant and unsportsmanlike he can be....

Besides, when has Henry actually scored a clutch goal? A real, game-changing moment??

Never, man. Same goes for Del Piero—just total losers...

Unlike Trezequet World Cup 2002... (that guy basically bought the net with that golden goal....)

Did anyone else catch that insane little shimmy Drogba pulled right before he slotted the first one?

Cormery said:Or maybe back in '98 with Jacquet Canton.

Straight to the point here, just diving right in😁
the real question🙏 is, what did Thierry Henry actually bring to the table for France back in '98 when they pulled off that World Cup win?
honestly, does anyone even need to answer that?
just look at the Euro 2000 final with Wiltord and Trezequet World Cup 2002...
and you're seriously trying to put him in the same conversation as Ronald?😁

Yeah, I saw it. Absolutely clinical.

I wonder if he counts as one of the French guys too, or what...

Sheva, is this guy actually one of your buddies??...

The Premier League is the greatest league on earth??? Hehehehe... please...

Shearer managed to find the back of the net right next to Villa, but honestly, he wasn't even in the same ballpark as Marseille...
Drogba, man... what a legend.

Honestly, France has the strongest, most interesting, and most attractive league out there. It's easily the best...

Look, just because someone can't stand Thierry Henry doesn't mean they have an excuse to trash him.
To each their own.

Bottom line? The guy is polarizing. Personally, I’ve always thought Fernando Morientes or Ruud van Nistelrooy were better than him. But hey, if someone disagrees, that's their business.

Anyway, I'm obviously pulling for Valencia here. Actually, "pulling for" might be an understatement. 😎

Never, man. Just like Del Piero. Both losers...

Unlike Trezequet... (who basically saved the whole thing with that golden goal...)

Yeah, right... Like Henry achieved absolutely nothing in his career. Aside from winning the World Cup and the Euro, plus those titles with Monaco and Arsenal... yeah, totally nothing. A clutch goal? I guess we could pick that one against Portugal in the Euro... if we really have to dig through the pile of goals he scored. Personally, I think Cristiano Ronaldo is better, but that comment about "not even calling him to the national team" tells you everything you need to know...

Arrogance and unsportsmanlike behavior? When and where? 😕

Truly nothing. A clutch goal? I guess that one against Portugal in the Euro... if we really have to pick one from the hundreds he scored. Personally, I think Cristiano Ronaldo is better, but that comment about "I wouldn't even call him up to the national team" says everything you need to know...

yeah... but he was never the guy scoring the winner in a final or some massive championship deciding game. He always hides... and I didn't say he won nothing, just that he's overrated. Everything he managed to win, guys like Candela or Barthez won too...

Arrogance and unsportsmanlike conduct? When and where? 😕

this just shows how much you don't get who Henry actually is.

for me, the most cringey moment was during the Euro final when, right after Wiltord's goal, he sprinted over to the Italian bench—where everyone was standing there hugging—and started acting all cocky, basically telling them to shut up and sit back down because it wasn't over yet... and as we all know, Henry was practically invisible on the pitch during that final...

for me, one of the most cringeworthy moments was during the Euro final when, right after Wiltord scored, he stormed over to the Italian bench—where the whole squad was huddled together—and basically told them to shut up and sit down because the game wasn't over yet... which is funny, because we all know Henry was practically invisible in that final.

What's the big deal? It’s a high-stakes game. Emotions run hot. I thought you were going to say he spat on someone or threw a punch...
