No one's saying he's better goddamit,dont twist my words.Clearly Henry has had a better career and has been more clutch for his teams but,i made a comparison just based on their abilities alone and you'll see,it becomes a pretty even comparison.
21 seasons in Serie,yet he only started playing false 9 in his 30s.Thats a pretty impressive goal count in my book.
And no one gives a rat's ass about friendly or qualifier goals mate,its about ur impact in major competitions that count if there's needs to be a significant highlight one's career.I was mainly referencing to that.
Also,tone down with the insults and name calling just cos u dont agree with someone.I feel like a $#@! for defending Totti but your overexaggerated responses and condescending tone in ur posts made me respond.
I can only type so much frm my mobile.Anyways im out,GN,lets savour this debate for another day.

in one's career*
I apologize for the insults, I'm just getting irritated with this endless defending of Totti on this forum. I wasn't referring to you saying Totti was better than Henry, that was for others.
I've stated many times, that i was exaggerating when I compared Totti to Di Natale, and said Henry was a million times better. In fact, this is about the 4th time I've said it now. So let's put that rest.
Henry may be hated by the French, but scored 11 World Cup and European Championship goals for the France national team which is a far cry more than Totti's 3. Totti wasn't a striker, of course, but he was an attacker, and 11 goals as opposed to 3 is quite a difference. And considering that Henry was a major contribute in terms of goals for both WC 98 and Euro 2000, which the French won, the fact he's hated by the French, shows only that the French are retarded and only think about the most recent matches. If Henry is hated by the French, the Italians should want to crucify Totti for his idiocy in WC 2002, and Euro 2004, in which he played a major part in Italy's group stage exits with his stupidity.
Regardless. Totti's number of goals is impressive, but his performances in big games, against big teams in Serie A, CL, and for the most part of his international career was not of the quality that qualifies one to be a great. He scored the vast majority of his goals, and looked like a legendary all-time great against the smaller clubs in Serie A for the better part of his career. He's still a very good player, and had a career that straddles that very good--great line in my opinion.
But Thierry Henry is clearly a great, for what he accomplished with Arsenal, Barcelona, and the French National Team. He scored 226 goals in only 8 seasons with Arsenal, to Totti's 294 goals in almost 22 seasons with Roma.
Anyways. Maybe Henry isn't as far above Totti as I think, but he's clearly had a better career and performed better on the biggest stages, both for club and country. And he's won more trophies with his clubs by a country mile.
