Unfair? Henry had two fantastic chances to score, with only the goalkeeper to beat, and he missed both times. Well, to be fair, he forced the 'keeper to make saves, but he didn't make him work all that hard to do it. Believe me, I think Henry is just about the most wonderful football player in the world to watch - he plays with such, dare I say it, joie de vivre.
But I've said it before, he doesn't seem to deliver the goods in the big games. I might be judging him by different standards to everybody else, but that's the opinion I've formed over a number of years. Give him those two chances against Wigan on a wet Tuesday night in November, and he'd have buried one or both.
As for Ronaldinho, I still hold a grudge against him for his freakish and entirely accidental goal that sent England out of the last World Cup. I'll declare that grudge now, for the sake of honesty. But he didn't deliver on Wednesday. Maradona was the most marked man in football when he won Argentina the World Cup back in 1986 - the greats overcome the tight marking.
You're right though, either one of them could be THE star of the tournament.
