Henry misses Fifa shortlist

European Football Arsenal
comment on the article
Thierry Henry

Thierry Henry has failed to make the final shortlist for this year's Fifa World Player of the Year award.

Three-time winner Zinedine Zidane, 2005 winner Ronaldinho and European Player of the year Fabio Cannavaro were named as the three remaining candidates.

But Arsenal striker Henry missed out despite being the only player to make it to the finals of both the Champions League and the World Cup last season.

Do you think Henry should have been shortlisted? Give us your views.

henry is great, everyone should love henry. he is the epitome of spoilt arsenal le brat.
Viva Henry!
Cant wait to see him in a Barca shirt!

*******

Wonder what shirts Tevez, Reo-Coker and Machcarano will be wearing next season?

Well Nigel Reo-Cocker could well be playing in the Carling Cup with a bunch of 16 year olds if his dream move to Arsenal comes off.

How long more do you give Pardew? 9 away games lost in a row - still nice of the other managers not to act like complete prats when they beat him. That would just be unclassy.

T.Henry is one of the best who ever play this great game. Why in hell his name is not there? He brought so much for the game for this generation and the one to come. Come on, let be serious !!!

Did you watch the France-Italy final? Do you remember Henry running into Cannavaro? Henry was out for 3 minutes.

Please!! Henry is rightfully out of the shortlist.

Cannavaro has had a phenomenal year and definitely deserves to win.

Cannavaro deserved to win- he was awesome in the world cup. Henryhas hand a good year by his standards, but not a great one.

And it's silly to compare Rooney to Henry, particularly in goals scored, since Rooney is a deep striker who plays and assists his parter- he's not Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Ronaldo or Henry.

Both are great.

This season, both Rooney and Henry are abysmal. Zidane is the best player by a mile!!!!!!!
