Thierry Henry vs Portugal 2006 world cup semi-final

Good game by Henry, while largely playing as an isolated central ST (doesnt suit him). Won the penalty (bit of a dive maybe lol), almost scored individually, and was efficient with the ball. Seemed to physically struggle towards the end (I think the CL final run killed him)

Is Messi or Ronaldo the best player in soccer, but this is the answer.

If France won the World Cup in 06 and We won the UCL in Paris easily TH would have won the Balon D’Or

Very scrappy performance nostalgia has people think he was better than he actually was

it wasnt vintage Henry, but it was hardly scrappy given the conditions. He barely lost the ball, and provided the decisive moment of the game

This is the versatility of Henry. Being able to navigate a low block like he faced with Arsenal to playing ISO with France and doing the nitty gritty #9 stuff...
