I actually remember this. Something at least, still wouldn't class a 2 yard side foot volley as having an impact on a tournament.

The more pressing question about this, is that the worst marking in the history of football from Roberto Carlos?

So first you criticise who he scored against, now it's the type of goal?

He along with Zidane dragged that average French team to the final.

Henry had the kinda rep ronaldo has now... of not doing it in the really big games

Looked it up.

3 goals, coming against South Africa and Saudi Arabia. None in the knockouts.

Not having it.

He was still their top scorer.

Why are you bracketing Henry with Zidane? Henry did about as much as Florent Malouda.

Zidane went God mode and carried them to the final on his own, same way he carried that team to any success they'd had in the previous 8 years.

Total overstatement. Zidane had a good tournament and flicked the ball over Ronaldo's head n **** but it's become vastly romanticised over just because everyone thought he was shot and it was his last ever tournament.

Henry's goal eliminated the tournament favourites in the quarters, his skill won the penalty to take out Portugal in the semis and he was France's best player in the final. Enough said really.

Great point. Henry also won the free-kick which lead to the decisive goal against Spain in the last 16.

Wow Henry really killed it at that tournament.

How can you 'vastly romanticize' what was the complete midfield performance against Brazil?

Henry scored from 2 yards out, unmarked, from a cross put on a plate by Zidane.

I'm sure even Henry himself would credit Zidane with being the standout spearhead in France's campaign.

His skill at diving.
