Titi had a rough day yesterday😂
@@ChuckNorrisFakelast season he wasn’t moving like this
@@ChuckNorrisFake confidence ≠ arrogance
I would agree that sometimes he's a bit too much but he's a likable guy
@@ChuckNorrisFakeParis is part of middle East and Africa now
Plot Twist : Titi was actually annoyed not in line for the USMNT job and Poch got the job.
+ Missing out on Kate
I forgot about that
I swear that’s what I thought, did yall see the pulisic interview… it felt like he didn’t wanna even talk to pulisic.
I love Henry but he deserved that cooking for pressuring him 😂
I agree. He’s been childish and rude ever since yesterday
Imo Henry took it easy on him. Grella's never played in Europe, he's a nobody compared to Henry and to say that!? The disrespect is crazy, Grella couldn't even clean Henry's boots
No football player could ever cook Henry especially not some random yank
Henry is arrogant. He acts like he’s above everyone on the panel. He needs to humble himself. He was a great player but there’s no need to act like a goof.
@@billyblanco2540 he is above everyone on the panel.... How many of the panelists have won the WC!? Only him
"replaced"
Titi must hate that word 😂
Man's never been replaced. Not even right now😂
Titi got robbed of two trophies :
1. Balond'or
2. Kate abdo
Stop this Kate Abdo non sense
Nedved won that year and well deserved. Do you know Nedved? He was a savage.
@@wis4123 Nah, TT deserved it more. Got sacked like Lewangodski in 2021 and Hahahaaland in 2023.
@@IAmBlothhundr ?? nedved won the cl, tt didnt
Kate abdo’or 😂😂
Titi was moody the entire show I wonder what could possibly have led to him acting like that🧐
Titi childish af, sure he was amazing, sure he clever, sure he funny at times. But dude acts like he is like 20 so many times. Alot of football players i feel Dont mature like others. They are in that football world that can be so toxic and full of arguments… etc etc. Dude should humble down No matter How amazing he was as a player, wich he really was! Just imo… studio could be even better with him not being so negative and big headed
Losing Kate hurt him more than losing the Balon d Or
Because he couldn't come out of friendzone and he living the ultimate reality
@@killekillekille1it’s been a long summer man give him a break, and adding Kate getting married is like adding salt to the wound
He just had a bad day, it happens to anyone.
Previously they used to cook only micah,sometimes jamie & kate now they cook thiery too😂🤣 still the funniest show....
Hahahahah micah and jammie at 5:36 are like 2 friends in a roasting session escalating the situation by hyping it up and running away 🤣🤣🤣
The sneaking back like a Scooby Doo cartoon that got me 😂😂😂😂
It’s called banter! Literally one of reasons why it makes them one the best sport panel. Why are some people getting their panties in a bunch over the Titi comment?
@@usernameperson6374 I think it was pretty obvious that Henry was not having banter in his questioning, based on his tone and facial expressions. The other guy obviously didn't want to answer the question and Henry kept pushing for it, you could tell it made everyone uncomfortable and jame and big Meeks tried to lighten the atmosphere
@@alfazrahman1994 I agree. Henry can dish it out but as soon as someone gives it back to him, he becomes defensive and starts telling people "you don't want to go there". Insufferable human being--similar to Shaq, actually.
Tití needed a humbling,😂
@@viscaelfutbol44 true
not one player in this video is better than Henry. He was also 100% right and this is coming from a utd fan.
@@viscaelfutbol44 with his carreer and his intelligence of the game his confidence can be mistaken for arrogance
@@cyberturkey77anyone is better than him in being a human
@@cyberturkey77imagine having to bring up how good he was in an argument that has nothing to do with how good he was?
The whole point of this is that titi loves to give sht to others but as soon as someone gives it back to him he cannot take it.
At all
For those who don't get the joke... Henry was at NYRB through the 2014 season, and Grella came in as a winger from 2015-2017. He literally replaced Henry in the lineup. Grella knows damn well his career isn't even in the same time zone as Henry's. Everyone needs to chill out about that exchange. BTW... Henry is right about the quality of US players in MLS now vs 10, 15, or even 20 years ago. The player pool is much deeper now, but (as Grella said) not many of our top players would start for those teams. Those guys may not have been as technically gifted as today's players, but they were tough as nails, and would run through a brick wall for the team. In 2010 Michael Bradley and Landon Donovan were the top to players in the tournament in ground covered/90. Dempsey was right up there with them as well (I think top ten).
Haha yeah I think he was razing grella a little and he just razzed him back. I’ve seen grella on pat macafee a lot, he certainly knows he’s not Henry, he was just matching the vibes of the show
Could make the same argument for the Brazilian national team
Exactly. Plus, even though Henry was 37 and actually retired, he gets to say "a team once replaced *Thierry Henry* with me"
Thierry was a delight for football
one the best players in the premier league history
@@ravd8082 one of the best strikers ever
4:53 is the funniest part😂😂😂😂😂
My man, you started it. 😂😅
I really like Thierry but seriously man why was he so aggressive, constantly putting pressure on Mike and putting him down. Imo Mike response was good, Titi deserved that one
Henry so heartbroken LOL
Henry is right 100% mls doesn’t help American soccer if anything it holds the team back
When did he say that?
@@scheck006 when he said American's are not the best players in MLS now. Foreign players are.
@@darkprince3474What does he know … he could not deliver MLS cup for RBNY nor could he coach Montreal to attain any success.
I agree
@@ginger_breadman What does he know? you are mad
i love Titi but damn Mike COOKED HIM😂
How? He was nowhere near the player Titi was or probably still is. It's easy to say you replaced a legend when he's 37 years old and on his way out.
@@vante474
He also never scored as much in one season of the MLS than Titi did lol
But yes he did “replace” him in the sense that after Henry retired they had him upfront
@@vante474 that's why it's a joke, because Titi clearly went too serious
Everyone talking about Titi being mad abt Kate, but he said some personal stuff happened on why he left the france team after olymlics, so maybe its more about that
Malik Scott checked Titi Henry he was going to beat him up. Titi got scared
@@DantheDolfanthat diver ain’t beating tt anytime soon, first punch Henry throws Malik’s gonna go down diving like he was Phelps
@@alexandercorner4441 Malik Scott and Deontay Wilder going to jump titi
@@alexandercorner4441Why’re you lot taking sides in a hypothetical scrap between Kate’s husband and Thierry Henry? Are you actually that bent
Titi was having a bad day yesterday
Titi been moody. Look at what you've done to him Kate 😭
His wife is way better looking than average kate
Titi has changed sadly
Thierry needs to be a bit more respectful - there are plenty of people who are better than him that can hold a debate without putting their colleagues under unnecessary pressure. take a day off instead of having a go at everyone
For real, he needs to get over himself, he stopped being a coach after losing against the Spanish in the Olympics, he was a great player but the past is the past and he cannot act like he has the answer when all he does is address issues, it’s something anyone with football knowledge can do.
@@dmarjs1574 he needs to listen to himself - revolting at times. who the hell does he think he is? The god of football? Remember how he behaved to his players in Monaco? His problem is that he justifies his actions to be moral and correct always - as opposed to thinking that he could be wrong. He needs to learn more
He was salty yesterday too lol. C'mon Titi we love you!!
Thierry didn't ask any weird questions if you ask me. He's right about MLS
Not really. Nobody has ever said the MLS rivals the five top leagues. What Henry can't quite get is that the US player pool has improved so that there are more players in those leagues and even the top teams in those leagues. It's not a knock on the MLS that is happening.
What did he say about MLS?
@@scheck006 How about you listen to the video?
If you ask titi about Saudi Camel League he would say it's good when it's really trash. Players only playing for money zero passion.
I honestly had a hard time following his questioning in real time maybe Mike did too. Probably more language thing than anything.
Disappoints me to see a legend behave so insecurely and rude
I know ya. Obviously grella was joking and knows he was never anywhere near henrys ability
The ego and arrogance of Henry needs a checking, and fair play to Grella for putting him in his box. Yeah, he was an unreal player, but he needs a good clip round the ears
4:49 Mike roasted Thierry Henry
4:55 Jamie and Micah fled 🤣
5:32 Jamie and Micah tried to go back
Titi is 100% correct. The American players now seem a level below and the #1 issue is the mentality. Donovan and Dempsey's group played with big cajones, pride and zero fear. Believing that you can perform as well as the best and beat anyone is half the battle. They didn't settle for being less than dominant in CONCACAF or missing any world cups, and every chance they got against the best teams was a relished opportunity to exceed expectations.
Fair assessment - I agree.
Henry's question is dumb. The US has more players in the top leagues in Europe, and even the top teams, than have been there in the past. While the MLS has improved, it's still far behind those leagues; so it's no surprise fewer MLS players can make the USMNT than made it in the past. It's not a knock on the MLS, but a sign of player improvement in the US.
Football today is weaker than it was before.
You honestly Pulisic would be playing in Kaka’s Milan?
You think McKennie would be playing for Del Piero and Zidanes Juventus?
Hell no!
You think Yamal would be playing in Messi, Iniesta and Xavis Barça?
You think Vini would be playing with Los Galácticos?
Todays Football is the most Boring Era of All Time
I think he didn't lay out his point well so it got muddled but I think what he was trying to get to was that the USA is more talented now as can be seen by the better players being on top end Europe clubs now vs MLS then but now they don't have that toughness and team unity that you need to do well in international play.
The presence of players overseas is not the sole metric to gauge how good the NT is. Brazil's NT is comprised of players who almost all play outside of Brazil and they are also trash. This current generation of USMNT is garbage.
@@Ilfenomeno-sp2hk you're making yourself look dumb when you're bringing up pulisic and mckennie when there are tons of better players. the comment was about americans having a better pool of players compared to before, which is completely true. comparing a 16 year old yamal to prime messi, iniestia and xavi, bud, xavi and inestiia would be in the stadium watching barca play at yamal's age.
and vini? he wouldn't play in los galacticos because the current madrid he plays for is better. galacticos was overhyped team that only had their stars going for them. the galacticos were such a failure than they won no CL's and 1 la liga in 5 years.
@@mediacenterman8583 For USA, it is. Bringing up brazil, who have had countless players in the play outside of brazil and countless better generations of players compared to the current NT is not a fair comparison to a country that had very little players outside the US. The US NT, and player pool is better than it was decades ago.
this little grella still doesn't learn after ibra trolled lol
even beckham later on said that no one can replace henry
Henry has it coming. He needs to be humbled once in awhile.
Not so much after this question, Henry’s question was fair, but just in general, Henry seems to be the one with an attitude and ego on the show
Titi was hella mad. He was picking straws. would he ask about the state of the Argentinian League and how is it not top three while having the world cup and back to back copa americas?
the term is clutching at straws not picking straws
Argentina cant be compared to the US in terms of economic power and possibilities. Not really a suitable comparison. Argentina has at least 100 national team quality players spread all around the world, because money. The US? Weah and Pulisic.
@@GuzmanMPetitmckenie is US best player, then pulisic and then between weah and Adams.
I watch juventus almost every week. Mckennie has played every position well.
Right back right wingback number 8 center attacking mid cdm by himself cdm on a double pivot. Etc. Pulisic is more skillfull but mckennie can help you score and also defend.
Carragher, Henry is your coworker, Get him on The Overlap man.... damn
The Manchester guys wouldn't have that egomaniac
@@nemanjag9895 Without Gary there is no show
“But Titi…. Oh Titi…. Wait, Titi…” 😂
Titi is still pissed at Kate getting married and he just needs to take it out on someone lol. It just so Mike was his target today.
Titi’s point makes no sense.
If I understand, he’s saying that the MLS quality has dropped because all the American national team plays in Europe.
But they play in Europe because now they have the quality to play in Europe. It doesn’t affect the quality of the MLS.
Mike's assessment of the USMNT was fair. Not sure why Titi went after Mike that way.
Carragher and micah were just escalating the situation 😂
5:33 That is why I love this show❤ 😂😂😂😂
Thierry Henry
-Lost the 2003 Balon d Or
-Has been shut up by Ronaldo 2xs (Vs Arsenal and at the Balon d Or Ceremony)
-Is Zidane’s Shadow
-Lost Kate
-And now embarrassed by Some dude I don’t even know
Poor Henry 😞
and who are you?
@@TysonWayI’m the one that just stated FACTS!
@@Ilfenomeno-sp2hk Cook bro🤣
Henry's also the player that won the EPL, the World Cup, the CL, La Liga, the Euros, and coached France to a silver medal in the Olympics.
What has Grella done!!?? How many clubs did Grella play for in Europe!? Ohhh, that's right, zero. You need to put some respect on Henry
@llfenomeno-sp2hk facts bro👍👍
It's been tough few months for Titi, losing the gold medal and the golden girl, it's tough, it's tough 😂
8:03 BIG MICH😅😂
Why was Titi pressing him so much for an answer??😂😂 The other guy clearly didnt like it so he clapped back but im genuinely wondering with titi seemed a bit passionate you could say on the topic
He wasn’t pressing the guy, the guy wasn’t being honest with his answer
Mike , you held your own , bravo.
Titi started it first with Mike, you can't blame the man he has to relieve some pressure.
“I know, I replaced you…” Titi becomes Optimus Prime
Imma be honest....I dont where Titi was trying to go with this...didnt make sense...but glad he got humbled...😂😂😂😂
Fully agree with Henry. I have never bought that this current generation of USA player is the best ever. They are maybe more technically gifted because they were trained more professionally as kids with the MLS academy system, but previous USMNT teams have far more higher quality players.
Yes there are more Americans in bigger European teams than before and the US soccer media have wrongly taken this to mean that they are higher quality than previous generations. This is being caused by more big European clubs being owed my Americans and European clubs realising the commercial value of American players in the USA media market. When Chelsea purchased Pulisic the US TV rights quadrupled for the EPL and this didn’t go unnoticed in the rest of Europe. So big clubs started buying to Americans to boost their value of their US TV rights.
I can understand Henry's "not wanting to be there attitude" . . I mean, put yourself in his shoes, can you imagine talking about something you are passionate about and then being paid to do so . . NOT easy.
Mr. Henry . . The Great Henry . . The Greatest Striker to ever play for France and Arsenal . . and for many, the Greatest player the English Premiership has ever seen . . . STOP concentrating on trying to be perfect and trying to look perfect . . you are trying to achieve the impossible and as a result you are losing yourself . . you must remember, it's our imperfections that people relate to and it's the manner in which we deal with these imperfections that make the people our fans . . Be the Authentic Thierry Henry and everything will fall into place.
Henry is right though. MLS and the USA NT was watchable back then. But now, especially in MLS, everything is so subpar. The quality has dipped and the over saturation of MLS is to blame. All the good players are spread out across 30 teams which is ridiculous. No “first division” league should have more than 20 teams.
Even Morata has slotted in well for Milan and that's surprising. - From a Spaniard
Fair play to the guy for standing up for himself I guess, Thierry would want to liven up and not be so moody all the time.
Titi please don't turn into like Shaq on Inside the NBA
Titi is so serious all the time, Shaq back and forth with Chuck is funny tho.
both felt robbed on winning MVP/Baloon Dor, both are have the best career on the panel, both gets triggered easily when their opinion challenged. Titi is Shaq of UCL 🤣
The way Carra and Big Meeks went away from the table. They knew😭😭
As Arsenal fan... “I replaced you” I CHOCKED ON AIR! I cannot *BELIEVE* the Treasonous words a peasant just uttered to the KING👑😳🤔😳
If you think Titi got cooked you don’t know how much Henry let him slide with that comment. His first 5 years of football is better than bro’s whole career😂
Canada is the best team from concacaf
Right now, I agree.
Nobody is better than Thierry, especially some random
All the americans in the comments are saying "Henry got cooked."
In Europe we call that "Handbags." That's simply called "banter" amongst colleagues.
Jaime and Micha are the best Duo.
This was only an eight minute clip so it was lacking context, but why was Thierry Henry so aggressive and stern with his questioning regarding the MLS and USMNT? It felt like an interrogation.
He wasn’t having the best day in general. Can only guess at what’s going on, but at least that much was evident.
Titi was upset bc he wanted to coach USA and he didn’t get picked. So he will take any chance to talk down on the us and its players.
Titi is one of the best in world football, don’t disrespect him ij the comments he managed mtl for Canada in MLS and has been there
TiTi underwear is bigger then this guy career 😂
Henry showing the world why French are not like us
Kate got married, he's still hurting. Attitude all day
This guy never even got capped for the Senior US side and hes claiming he replaced Thierry
Titi was right but the way he asked the question is not good
🤣🤣🤣
I replaced you 🤣🤣🤣
As an American....our players now are way better now than before. Before we had all heart and very little skill (looses possession, can not trap the ball well, etc.). Now we have some skill but because we are so much better technically, our expectations are higher.....we're just not there yet.
Titi had a point and Mike attacked him instead of the argument. It's disrespecting to talk like Mike did, especially to someone with Henry's CV.
Henry is seriously deluded if he thinks he is the best player ever. he not even the best french player ever.
He's not in the least seriously or not deluded - he's the best French striker ever (look up his stats).
Zidane, Platini, Cantona, Griezmann, etc., were all midfielders. Giroud scored more goals and won a World Cup, but few would argue he's a better player and striker than Henry.
Henry won a World Cup AND a Euro back to back, plus a Champions' League. Pure strikers are rare in France, but Henry tops them all (for now, even Mbappe, though hopefully for Madrid and France not for long).
Titi was so salty during the entire show for some reason. Gee ... someone should give him a hug or a baguette before the next show.
As a Balkan, i cant listen to people say PULISIK, you dont say IBRAHIMOVIK, It's easy, PULISIC (PU-LI-SICH)
Had to resort to google to see who Grella is.
Same - had even forgotten his name until I saw your comment.
4:50 Mike, that was ballsy. 😅
Jamie is hilarious on this show
Big Meeks was such a good guy, trying to save Mike when Titi was cornering him. Titi was one of the greatest but he needs to chill, no need to put him someone on a spot like that especially on live tv.
To answer Thierry's question, probably 3 players in the current team could potentially make it into our best teams. The 3 that I would argue are Antonee Robinson, Pulisic, and Gio Reyna. Other than that, nobody that I can think of.
Guy never scored over 10 goals or assists in a season 😂 who is this guy???
@@Ingenuity009 the guy who replaced Henry
So what?
Some guy plays darts 🎯 😅😅😅
USMNT🇺🇸 are literally acting like Poch is Robert Oppenheimer 💀😂🤣
❤ Titi , he is an alpha dog. Respect
French people shocking banter straight to their feelings 😂😂
Henry is totally right though. Cooked or not.
Have fun at ESPN cracked me hella up
Leave Henry alone!!! 😂
Ist Henry been married for like a decade? why are you guys saying he wants Kate ? the man even has kids too, no ?
What is going on with Thierry! Not enjoying his rudeness!
Scott name got titi off
Jamie and Micah bromace, EPIC like damon and stephen salvatore😂
Malik is the reason why Titi hates Americans now 😂😂😂
Sports overtime changed to be more of a molding of players into products/brands.
This change lower competitive skills and causes rule changes to happen so that the sports is more entertaining to watch.
Titi is too proud. He thinks he is always 100% right.
Henry sounds salty about todays usa players playing at the big clubs.
Stupid move from Grella... As if the anonymous player he was could ever replace the best Premier League player ever. Grella wouldn't have made it in First division. Titi had a very wise answer "don't go there"... he could have destroyed him with one sentence.
Henry could have made his point without pressing Mike. Did he want Mike to call out specific players by name?
I think Titi was trying to say that moving to Western Europe alone doesn't automatically make you a better player than an MLS player, which I 100% agree with. These UEFA players are not progressing at the level of their expectations but ignorant UEFA snobs in the American fanbase will judges players based on appearances (their club, playing in the UCL, etc.) instead of their club and country output
"Coming off his best season for the club". His only season...
Henry is just too arrogant for my liking…always wants to appear picture perfect …smh
I am a huge fan of soccer and have sat on the bleachers of many MLS showdowns. The current rosters are awesome and it is only a matter of time before an MLS team wins the Champions League. Go Soccer 🇺🇸⚽💪🏆
U said it all bro that lol. Can’t wait to see them win the champions. League. Smh
good lord this has to be bait
Bravo sir.
Um... what?
Mike: 1
Henry: 0
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
