We'll see what the script is at the end of their careers and judge them then..

Henry: WC and EC winner.
Owen: Scored a nice goal against the Argies.

In all seriousness they will both go down as great strikers imo. Who wins what more often is immaterial. They both have the skills to be considered among the best of their time.

Yeah, but Micky has to play with the England team - mind you, once we get rid of the dead wood (the likes of Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Nicky Butt, Andrew Cole and Paul Scholes) then England should fare a lot better..
Micky is a UEFA cup winner, a FA cup winner and a Worthington Cup winner, he also has won the European Super Cup and has one Charity Shield under his belt. Not bad for a young 'un..
Also, Henry is 24, so Micky has 3 years to catch up..
You left Heskey off of your dead wood comparison.

I'll be waiting to see how MO fares thi summer. I hope he doesn't fall 2 WC behind though.
Henry is in a diifernt class from Owen. Meaning his about 10 times better.
It's a good comparison, both players are great strikers. Too close to call who's the best at this early stage. We'll see who scores the most goals at the end of the season.
Here's another tough call, Keane or Vieira?
Both are very competitive and have great engines. I think Vieira has that extra bit of class though.

The best striker in the world whenever fit is Vieri!

I see you'll laugh to everything
A fully fit and on form Ronaldo is the best by a way still.
Maybe he won't be the same, but the question was asked if they were fully fit.
If he stays fit and recovers the pace he'll be great, just in time for Japan.

Morientes is crap. Real have been wanting to offload him for ages.
Claudio Lopez is crap. Ask any Lazio fans here whether they'd want him or Vieri in a team.
Crespo is a great player, but not as good as a fully fit Vieri. His price is around $10 million less
Alfonso Perez- Huh???
Rivaldo-World class, but more a midfield player.
Totti- Ibid
Batistuta- Too old. His days are past him. And Vieri would have put away those 2 chances Bati had against LFC.

I doubt he'll regain his form in 6 months after a 3 year injury. I can't see that happening.

Morientes ain't crap, nor is Lopez
Crespo i would say is the best on the list.
Alfonso is a spanish international player and a striker for Barca
Rivaldo is officially a striker
Totti is great
Bati well Bati ain't got much to say about him execept that even at this a age his still one of the worlds best strikers and much better then Vieri <img src="graemlins/angel.gif" border="0" alt="[Angel]" />

You don't watch much football do you.
What the feck has Lopez done @ Lazio in two years?
And why does Real Madrid want to offload Morientes if he was a world class player? They've been dying to get Sheva...
Alfonso... if he was so good he'd get a game. Saviola and Kluivert are better.
Rivaldo is world class.
Totti hasn't proved anything yet.
Bati is too old.
One thing that can be taken into consideration is that Liverpool have taylored the system to fit Owen. Doubt he would be as succesful anywhere else where the team doesn't adapt the game around one player.
Sheva is the best...
others:
vieri(when fit)
crespo
batigol(he still has it...don't count the Liver match )

Dimwit-son is right.

Well, England play about 3 or 4 games / year. And do back down and hit on the counter attack. 3 or 4 counter attacking goals against germany was it?

he is a one trick pony... fecking good at the mo, tho'

It is true though, you play appalling defensive football, hell, you even play heskey so that it suits Owen.

They don't play defensively - the world and his wife is wrong about that one.....
You may laugh but no one has mentioned Hasslebank. He has been the top scorer in what ever league he has been in for the last 3 seasons.
He isn't the complete forward but it depends on what you measure, is it goals or overall contribution?
