Even Thierry knows Zidane is the best
PLATINI ... by far
@@gianfalco8527the fact Platini was his childhood idol and he still went with Zidane tells u enough
Also how do you compare a player who played 50 years ago? Football is Soo much more competitive now@@merengue7139
@@gianfalco8527You don’t understand that football gets tougher by the years. If Thierry says Zidane is better, that should tell you enough. The likes like maradonna sadly wouldn’t survive a halftime on the pitch. Footballer hate to hear that but today‘s U18 would destroy most teams from old days
Platini was great, but soo overrated
Micah really touched Henry's emotion there ❤
Micah loves his friends. He would say that Keane was the best Irish player of all time, and that Carra... was the best centre back… in Liverpool… from 2007 to 2013
@@roytore5062Keane is the best

Zidane was class. Effortless player and fun to watch
He wasn't classy when he head butted that itslian soccer player in the world cup finals

@marcopace7062 bro if I cook pasta the wrong way you get offended. And you're telling me matarazzi saying vulgar stuff about Zidanes sister shouldn't warrant a reaction. Ps italian food is very average. Overrated.
Henry was a goal scoring machine everywhere he went, but Zidane was pure football masterclass. The way he plaued the game was just amazing.
Just like cr7 and messi🐐
@@RakibulIslam-of1kqExactly what I wanted to write.
Henry is overhyped 😄 nothing special about him …. He act like he was ronaldo or messi
He was.. Lmao
Man's was robbed off of a ballon d'or
Titi pulled those tears back when Micah named him as the goat..😢
no I think he was holding back laughter lolll

Him and Zidane aren’t even French🤣
Coming from Micah it's not serious. Dude was a bench warmer
@@tredaviousbowser7931casual racism ok
"Woah I got called Henry"🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
Probably got annoyed by FIFA mixing up the voice lines for so many years
He legal caked himself Terry Henry, for an ad for red nose day years ago
Right, probably weird hearing Kate say that since he's used to "Thierry" when he's blowing her back out

Platini was a beast in '82, 84, & '86.
Zidane: France '98 & '06.
Tough call.
You haven't watched a game of platini

Zizou was an artist.
Platini no?
Zidane is best of all..not only France
Zizou cantona and platini
@@zerocool-zerocoolvery strong argument
And Henry was One of the greatest ever goal scorers
Greatest crew man. I have so much fun with those guys. Im pretty depressed lately, and it takes some demons away to see those guys just having fun like I used to do years ago.
Keep head up bud, you will have a brighter future
I feel you brother
Chin up mate it's only for now not for life
You’ll get through brother. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. God bless ❤
Womp womp
Zidane was a pure football poet.
Micah is like that kid bro who always looks up to you
The only person to defeat prime Brazil 🇧🇷
He is Zidane 🇫🇷
prime Brazil played in the 60s
That 2006 Brazil squad was 🚮
@@iamdezsi yeah, but not in the paper, the team had kaka, ronaldo, ronaldinho and adriano. But the 1998 finals is more important than the semi finals in 2006.
Platini 1986 Mexique
Zizou the goat !!!
In my opinion when a man shows respect to others ahead of him,he is far away from everyone .Henry you are the greatest ❤
Agreed. Zidane > Platini > Henry > Cantona
Giroud better

Zinedine Zidane🇫🇷🐐
Henry was a lethal stricker, Thanks to Wenger the way he groomed him but nobody's nearer to Zizou❤
Just Fontaine was better
"whoa, i got called hennry"💀
He was referring to Kate calling him Henry instead of Thierry, like she normally does
He caked himself that in a promo for red nose day years ago
You can hear Micah chuckling to himself after saying ‘Terry Henry’ 😂
What's the joke
"NO HE'S NOT!! 🤨"

Calla...?
@@juniortheone6034Carra
@@juniortheone6034I replied to the wrong person, sorry
The best thing for me was to watch a game with Zidane. I just admired the way he played and how he thought about the game. Even though im from Sweden i followed the French team as often as i could aswell as his clubteams. A wonderful player.
I love their combo during match analysis 😂. Funny crew
Zidane played football like mozart made classical music. Just effortless. The act of doing without trying.
And scored game deciding goals at World Cup and Champions League
Probably the only player more clutch than CR7. At the big moment he was there.
As a Brazil fan seeing him demolish Brazil twice right infront of my eyes (98 and 06) was heartbreaking. Those were stacked out squads as well that could have easily won the WC.
Can't deny the genius he was.
@@smartsquirrel1he wasn’t all too clutch against Italy in the final
@@philthywhe got a red card lmao, funny enough Ronaldo got Red again
You damn right
Ive watched them all. I love them both, both can do things amazing.. different positions. I think Zidane was a gift.. that kept gifting. That guy was beautiful to watch.
Zidane played in monster teams and didn’t really win that much at club level. Henry was a better player whole 2000s
Yeah I have also watched Zidane in my childhood and I have honestly never ever seen a player with Zidane play style
@@jjjyli686 I'm a Barca fan who hates Zidane but damn he was miles ahead and still miles ahead of any midfielder I've watched.
Even on match days live he seemed a step ahead of his colleagues
@@jjjyli686what ? Zidane didn't win at club level? He won serie A , la liga , UCL. , World Cup , euro cup, euro and World Cup golden ball , ballon d'or , 3 Fifa Best and much more. What's wrong with you ? 😂
in my opinion, Zidane is the best football player ever
Henry is my best player.. I'm impressed with his humility, acknowledging Zidane.❤❤❤
Zizou may have been the most gracious player on the ball I’ve ever witnessed, he made football look so simple.
The entire world admires Zidane. The 1st time, world recognition France as a strong competitor because of 1998 World Cup and because of Zidane.
Probably you should go back to watching the platini era also 😂😊
Nah. 82 to 86 France was recognised as one of the top sides in the world , Euro winners , 2 WC semi finals
Completely right!! Zidane Probably the best player of all time along with Ronaldo 9 in a different way. Messi right after them to complish the podium.
With only 1 goal and 2 assist in that world cup,how great was he? Zidane never assisted Henry in is emtire life.zidane just talented and fun to watch,his numbers and stats sucks.
@@skemolehgen7543 zid playmaking changed a lot of games its not about stats some times u dont look at states u look how the player effect the game
People forgetting Platini is crazy
Noone forgot him though?
zZ is the best ever
Henry literally said Platini before Zidane in this clip. Did you even watch the clip before commenting?
@@beardedentity i clearly say people, why would you think I meant Henry? As you said he mentioned him in the video...
We didn't watch platini .. unfortunately.
TT loves Micah Richards😂😂😂
Zidane combined the beautiful game with the tactical game.
Platini, Zidane and Henry are the 3 best French players ever 💯
Mbabpe says hi
@@kissadanongpakdee1033 good, hi to him too, he can keep moving.. like.. 🤨💀
Ribery
Henry isn't even top 5.
Zizou, platini, ribbery, Benzama, Mbappe.
@@sourabhjoshi8520 looool
“Woah I got called Henry!
It’s time to go” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Micah's love for Henry is just so real and infectious.
Guy's got mad love for him.
But I'd pick Zizou all day
Thierry had the finesse and calmness with his scoring
Henry was one of the first players I remember when I was growing up where I saw him play and was genuinely in awe of what he could do, unbelievable player
Lillian Thuram has to be the most underrated French Legend ever. Every young defender should watch that man play. From a right back to a lockdown centerback. He was GREAT at both Positions.
Thuram was nothing short of legendary. His goal against Croatia in the 1998 semifinals speaks volumes.
What a player he was 👌🏼
There’s so many French footballers that have been underrated for decades. Thuram is no greater than Ribery.
A purist's view
Yeah, and that two Goals against Milan.
I don't remember much of Zeidan playing, but I loved watching Thierry, had his poster on my wall, and everything!
Lmao, "I got called Henry(English way)" 😂😂😂 and yes Jamie is right. It's Zidane, then Platini then Henry then Cantona(better for club than country but an outstanding player).
Is it? If you take away the corruption and have him in an era where people could see him more on TV, Platini is just Zidane if he scored twice as many goals, was more consistent, and didn't see red and start smacking people upside the head.
@@kb5509”if you take away the corruption” 😂😂😂
@@evilkhamzat hey, it don't change how good he was on the pitch!
She didn’t even say it like the English name Henry though, she did say his last name correctly 😂, it’s that she made the mistake of last naming him
Benzema higher than cantona
Henry almost got choked up when Micah said he was the greatest...😢
u saw it too
He knows he can't even tie Zidane's shoes
Henry is Lowkey a funny dude Lmao 😹.
Zidane was a Beast, very impressive
I love how Micah says Titi like Tee Tee😂
He meant umTITI
That's how you say it in french
@@Biggie971 not really. In french the 2 i's are pronounced a bit shorter. "Tìtì" more like the i in win compared to ee like in clean or sheep.
@@ing4gi I’m French
@@Biggie971 Then you should agree right? Titi is not pronounced as teetee. You'd think it's the same but there's a slight difference.
When you think of France you think of Zidane (Poetry in motion)
Ironic
No
Iconic@@RadiantandDire
Poetry and red cards 😂
Zidane is Algerian
Finally have found out where the infamous “no no no no” followed by crazy laughing comes from !!
The greatest players always recognizes each other whose there equal or better
Platini is the one player from back in the days that I’d love to see in todays game
👆
you mean, you'd like to see dr. PLATINI in todays game? :)
@@milanpanic651 damm not his current self jeez. his prime.
Zidane completed football
Goat French player
Zidane is the main player in that France team when they were playing together
Proper greats will never name themselves, but rather the people that inspired them to be great, or even peers that they admired when they were also at the height of their career.
Zidane at 34 was ripping it up in the World Cup final. Titi (as infinitely incredible as he is) was playing for NY Red Bulls
Henry played at the highest level at 19. Zizou was already in his 20s. I would imagine it helped to be older still at the top. Also one is a striker with pace as big quality, the other one was middlefield in a time where it was not really an obligation to defend as we ask 11 players to do nowadays. I would also mention that time Henry actually came back on lawn to Arsenal and still put goals against English teams.
34
Lmao, why are you making things up? He was 34 at the World Cup in 2006, you do know that we can easily see what his age was?
It's Zidane honestly, even Henry knows that.
Gotta be Zidane for me, favourite player ever to watch. No one has ever made playing football against the best players in the world look so effortless and graceful like Zidane
Even Thierry went "yeah nah even I don't think that"
I don’t care whom is playing in the Champions League, these 4 and the production are the reason it’s never missed
Whom is not used l8ke that
@@charuan12 🤣🤣🤣 thanks buddy. I’m sure that 8 is supposed to be in the middle of “like” as well. Why don’t you proofread your previous comment on this clip before making yourself look more dumb (dumber? You tell me smart guy).
“The whistle when Micah ways you’ve changed.”
You have to be the smartest grammar police officer alive.
@@vinylhorror The amount of low self esteem to reply like you did to a 6 word comment about grammer that isn't even harsh... is amazing.
@@ArthurMoonfall yet here you are commenting on such an “amazing” reply. Hunting for internet friends again Arthur? Better brush up on your “grammar” if you wanna take your relationship to the next level.
The scary thing about Zidane is he was still world class when he retired.
Every elite footballer were world class when they retired. But Henry is the best French player. Zidane played with a lot of elite players.
@@uchennasunday7037 Where's Henry's Ballon d'or and three fifa men's best player awards. I don't think Henry was even the best player of the world for a minute. Zidane was the best player for a while, and dominated every world cup he played it.
@@uchennasunday7037 lol not even Messi and Ronaldo will be world class when they retire (as they are not right now). Zidane just chose to retire when he could still compete at top levels and didn't try to taint his legacy. The only players who retired while still being world class that come to my mind would be Zidane, Lahm, Alonso and Maldini.
@@uchennasunday7037wtf
@@PhuongHoang-cj9jz messi is still world class lol
The look followed by that gulp Titi made after Micahs answer was gold.
"Woo i got called Endry" really got me bad 😂 i laugh like a fool
Honestly I love Titi but Zizou was glorious to watch, he made me fall in love with football
me too
Henry was more exciting to watch
“Whoa I got called Henry” giving uncle roger vibes🤣🤣🤣
Micah is a comedian😂😂😂😂...I like him
Henry top top class who made his name in the rugby style league in england
Everyone needs to go and watch Zidane Vs Brasil 2006. What he did against that Brasil side
One of the all time greatest individual performances
Was also because Brazil squad was shocked day before the finale because R9 had a seizure.
@@Broodkast8Not talking about the 1998 final.. talking about the 2006 quarterfinal masterclass he put up against Ronaldo, Cafu, Carlos, Kaka, Ronaldinho, Dida n so many more
@@kirkdsouza9410im brazillian and that day I saw the best of them, zidane was on another level.
If he kept it cool they would have won that cup
The 2006 Brazil team was a total mess. If Parreira had played the team that won the 2005 Confed Cup, the game would have probably looked different. But he reinstalled all the old guys, the 2006 team had way too many artists, some of them not in good shape at all (R9 was already obese then), and way too few workers. The Zizou game is a bit overrated these days I feel.
Wow I got called Henry 😭
IT'S TIME TO GO!
I don't hear it it sounds like she said Onry only 😂
Both unbelievable
Micah adores Titi fondly no doubt..I agree with Henry
There is a couple that really changed French football through the eras like, Platini, Papin, Cantona and more but Zidane brought the France’s first World Cup and just a magician on the field!
Henry scored the winner
@@bestofbothworlds4990 Henry didn't play in the final.
Zidane... Hands down 💯
ZIDANE. PERIOD. ❤
Henry was a beast, I didn’t really see his prime as I was Born in 2006 but highlights and stories about the man… unbelieveable 🔥🇫🇷
I enjoyed Thierry playing he was such a good player unique style
"Let him answer the question" 😂😂 Oh my word these lads!
I think there where both the best players and I respect Thierry saying he find his adversary the best
First time I agree with Jamie's opinion in a long time
Titi felt the love from Micah .. 😢.. Micah showing his love for Arsenal. But for me it’s zizou and then a tie for platini and Henry.
Jean Pierre Papin. Natural talent.
Zidane is my favourite player.
Henry is my favourite premier league player.
Not old enough to have seen platini.
Big Meeks have mad respect for Henry
Micah meant that forreal! Henry is definitely up there
"woah....i got called henry" gets me every freakin single time 😂
Yeah Titi looked like he was about to shed a tear
Jamie is really speaking the truth when he says "im not disrespecting anyone!"
I watched Platini play he was very special. Also Cantona and Giniola were very different but Zizou with the WC and the Euro is hard to argue with
2006 was last showdown between Brazil and France.
Zizou humbled Ronaldo Nazario, Ronaldinho Gaucho (in his prime) and Kaka (in his prime).
The humbling includes taking over midfield, nutmeg, overhead flick, under duress calm as you like and I also think he assisted Henry to score the only goal that helped them qualify.
Zidane has proven to be GOAT over these players.
Greatest performance I’ve seen from a player in my lifetime. Couldn’t believe me eyes
That world reminds me of Argentina in 78. Food poisoning of Ronaldo.
For real bro, all the 2006 world cup was THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
98.
Lol R9 was not in prime in 2006! his prime finished after his horrible injury
Thierry Henry is the goal scoring 🤴
Micah has Job for 1 reason being flattering to Titi😂😂😂
“ let him answer the question….” 😂😂
Micha is just being a bro. Jamie being deadass serious lol
Zinidan Zidane, what a legend. The golden boot
I can watch them all day man😂😂😂
I have yet to meet a French who didn't love Zidane. Man made the whole French NT looks amazing. I don't know what he did, but he made everyone looks amazing.

Zidane for sure. ❤
Zidane was something else!
Imagine being in circles of such legends. He played with zidane on a regular basis. Exchanged shirts with ronaldo r9. Played with legit legends like messi and eto at barca. Knowing pep. He coached belgium too. Knowing hazard and lukaku from current crop as well.
What a baller
And got fully battered by a teenage Ronaldo never forget that😉
@@ibrahimeltayeb7902 what? Titi was prime much before Ronaldo peaked. Titi actually was in 1998 world cup. He is THAT old.
thierry was so happy
Micah forgot about the legend one,Zidane
T.T is the most humble legend, that was an expected answer 😂
Any with half brain that watched football from 1996 to 2010 will tell you Zidane >>>> Henry and it shouldn’t even be a debate
platini was a hell of a player
Its really a hard call, henry and zidane are best in their own positions, but i like henry's humility
Henry is just being humble, we all know the correct answer.
I'd have said Zizou but Jamie acted like Micah had said Nicholas Anelka, Thierry Henry is that guy 🔥
Race is involved
