Top goalscorer for France in the 98 World Cup but it's hard to remember any of them. You won't forget Bergkamp's. That was magical and goal of the tournament. Stats can never tell a full story. Respect to both playere but if I had the choice between watching Henry's greatest moments and Bergkamp's, I'd choose Bergkamp every time.
Let's just put this to bed shall we.
It's getting boring.
I think I speak for all when I....
Brilliant. Just, brilliant.

It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Bergkamp was fantastic player no doubt about it, great skills and vision and scored some memorable goals.....in one winning season under Wenger there's was one period when he was scoring goal of the season almost every match it was a joy to watch.
I'd personally put Henry just above him though, for all his skills Bergkamp didn't really score enough goals, in his later career he did seem to miss a lot but was alwasy creative.
Henry had lots of flare but also scored a hatful of goals.
Thank you, my point exactly.
For example in 2006 Henry scored against Braizil...but anyone who actually watched the game saw Zidane absolutely run the show, he was beyond world class. Awesome man of the match performance.
But prats seems to think goals = dominating games....lol...next we will be hearing trophies mean greatness....see John O'Shea
So just because Henry has scored more goals for France according to one prat on this board he was better than Zidane and Platni..lol!! Great argument
thats fine but the thing is bergkamps great moments were pretty much confined to the year 1998.
henrys spanned 5 years and more and thats being super harsh. in euro 2000 he was the official man of the match in the euro championship final. in 2010 he was still on the prowl, scoring magnificent goals for the new york red bull against yanks.
the striker of the decade.
Everything BOBN has said in this thread is spot on.
Henry and Bergkamp were both brilliant players, but Henry was on a whole other level. Scored and created for his teammates, won everything that could be won (bar WPOTY due to pathetic fixing) and ran the show for us for 5+ years whereas Bergkamp only did so for a couple.
Laughable how people spout nonsense like Bergkamp's goals were better than Henry's, that's all subjective and shouldn't be used in a real debate. Henry v Madrid, Liverpool, Charlton, Sparta Prague, United etc were brilliant goals, easy to pick and choose.
People on here are still butthurt that Henry left us to win things, that can be the only reason.
