Henry has an amazing skillset. He leads the Premiership in scoring every year while spending 1/2 of his time acting like a withdrawn forward (when Bergkamp plays alongside him). The way he is shut down in big games is a problem, however. If one were to judge just on the ability to score goals in big games, I would say Ronaldo is still the king. Old and chubby, but with an amazing nose for the ball and the goal. But overall, based on the last year, I think Ronaldinho is the man.
What is truly amazing to me is to see other Brazilians like Elber and Ailton lead their leagues in scoring while not even getting a sniff at their national team. Brazil is going to be an overwhelming favorite in Germany next summer.
