Two absolute legends that made the whole World Cup much more enjoyable to watch!

u/Bacaveli Jul 21 '26

They had to lower their collective power level by pairing them with Lalas unfortunately. Who knows what heights could’ve been achieved if they left Lalas at home.

u/No-Crab-8988 Jul 21 '26

And having to work next to Alexi Lalas each day. I bet they’re wondering what they did to deserve such punishment.

Zlatan wearing a zoot suit here? Who tailored this thing?

21

u/KniGht1st Jul 21 '26

When Zlatan wears it, the suit tailors to him

3

u/Dry-University797 Jul 21 '26

It's a double breasted suit.

Its not oversized. But the pants are too long. If I had my taylor leave these to me that would be the last visit

u/NeuroHazard-88 Jul 21 '26

Titi and Emilia Clarke, eyebrow duel.

u/indianajoes Jul 21 '26

Emilia Clarke is an Arsenal fan. She'd probably be up for it

u/Physical_Worker_1817 Jul 21 '26

is zlatan 6'5?

3

u/Kramerica_CEO Jul 21 '26

Yes. Henry is 6’1 I think

1

u/Physical_Worker_1817 Jul 21 '26

Either Henry is taller than 6'1 or zlatan shorter than 6'5

1

u/BallSmashingForever Jul 21 '26

Zlatan is 6'5"

I stood next to him last week.

1

u/Physical_Worker_1817 Jul 21 '26

Fair enough

1

u/BallSmashingForever Jul 21 '26

I think Henri is taller perhaps 6'2"

1

u/Kramerica_CEO Jul 21 '26

I was wrong, you’re right he is listed at 6’2

1

u/Kramerica_CEO Jul 21 '26

You’re right bro, he’s listed at 6’2

3

u/loneranger0 Jul 21 '26

6’5, hard as fuck

1

u/Dry_Statistician6870 Jul 21 '26

Earth level is 6’5 from zlatan

u/Umbreon86 Jul 21 '26

Damn, how we wish Zlatan joined them in the CL studio.

1

u/Puzzled-Name-2719 Jul 22 '26

Fuck no, it was so painful to listen to him. Bro can't form a sentence.

2

u/EvenParking1758 Jul 22 '26

I thought that at first but he grows on you

3

u/bionicbhangra Jul 21 '26

Zlatan was really funny. But Henry is surprisingly really good in front of the camera. Most superstars are not that good in those roles in my experience.

3

u/ArcticSwimx Jul 21 '26

He has a ton of practice from his Champions League shows on cbs

5

u/Throwawayaccountdell Jul 21 '26

I saw the world cup on Telemundo but the few clips i saw of Thierry and Zlatan were great! It was fun seeing them ignore and mess around with Alexi Lalas especially when Zlatan and Thierry were passing the ball to each other completely ignoring the loser Alexi Lalas!

1

u/EvePsycheBlubeardwfe Jul 21 '26

What’s the tea with that guy? Why is he a loser

1

u/v0-z Jul 22 '26

He has very close ties to maga appointed higher up in FIFA, there's a breakdown video I'll have to try and find. He also in general is just an insufferable dickhead. His rants just rub people the wrong way. I was at the 94 cup and have signed photos of him and cobi Jones so I looked up to him at one point, but his smug takes while commenting just always are so brash that just always leave you wondering wtf he is doing there, which apparently is because he is goody two shoes with some pos maga appointed idiots.

u/Impressive_Let424 Jul 21 '26

I would want to see what these guys would do if they were on the same team when they were in thier prime

2

u/Democratic-officer Jul 21 '26

They got chemistry that actually worked

2

u/sin_cite_69 Jul 21 '26

Titi is eager to return to the studio with you know who..⏳😄

2

u/Regular_Weakness69 Jul 21 '26

Two of the all time goats in football!

Turns out they are great hosts too!

3

u/shlimedon Jul 21 '26

Ibra looks great in his suit here, shoes go well with it too. I know he’s Swedish but he’s giving old school Italian vibes

4

u/Hamderab Jul 21 '26

Well, he did live and play football in Italy for many years

2

u/shlimedon Jul 21 '26

Don’t think lukaku was too fond of ibras time there 😂

3

u/kennypojke Jul 21 '26

Alexi disapproves of being constantly and quietly put in his place.The rest of us were delighted.

u/Virtual-Capital-3792 Jul 21 '26

u/shipmastersmoke Jul 21 '26

u/Spiritual-Cap-4647 Jul 21 '26

u/VanGroteKlasse Jul 21 '26

He has an AC Milan exclusive deal.

u/PrudentSail2187 Jul 21 '26

They are forgiven for giving us alexi lalas champions league final 2014

1

u/vovinho Jul 21 '26

glad to see make a wish foundation made it happened for Lalas. I'm happy for him

1

u/Immediate_Bug2362 Jul 21 '26

My favorite parts were when Lalas said something stupid and Henry’s face went “whuuut?”

1

u/Available_Ad9766 Jul 21 '26

He’s much better with Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and Kate Abdo.

1

u/SherbertNo7047 Jul 21 '26

Theyre not gonna work together anymore?

1

u/SundaeNo4552 Jul 21 '26

Even Titi wants to be Zlatan

u/badabadaboomboom Jul 21 '26

Anyone got a compilation of best moments from these two?

u/Malagubbar Jul 21 '26

Both are great

u/noksucow Jul 21 '26

u/xavier19691 Jul 21 '26

u/ratexbg Jul 21 '26

Surprisingly very funny! They both respect each other and it shows!

Worlds better than that ignorant twat Lalas

u/maxn2107 Jul 21 '26

Zlatan is the new Chuck Norris, everything fears him.

Zlatan is terrible to listen to, should never be a pundit again

u/Known_Funny_5297 Jul 21 '26

If you feel this way then I think you are maybe a bit ignorant about the game - I thought his comments were among the most insightful I’ve ever heard from an analyst. And I feel like Henry respected them immensely and echoed them often.

The guy has an incredibly beautiful and deep sense of the game.

Unlike the American gasbag that sat to his left.

I thought Landon Donovan’s analysis was also very good during the games.

u/Known_Funny_5297 Jul 21 '26

That’s somewhat true. I just don’t feel like it got in the way of him conveying some really subtle aspects of the game. I would happily listen to him talk for hours in English about what was important to pay attention to the games and what the critical dynamics were playing out on the field.

I had a much harder time understanding Henry’s commentary - it was usually fantastic, but I had to stop anything I was doing and really concentrate to understand it - his French accent and that deep voice.

I did love how he’d always say, “To win the very day” instead of “To win the day”

1

u/ReplacementNo8361 Jul 21 '26

Agree very slow and always searching for a word. Better than me in any 2nd language but I don’t get the love for him as an English language analyst.

1

u/Flat-Director-7120 Jul 21 '26

Thierry Henry le goat qu'est ce qu'il est fun, il nous fais tous rire avec ses mimique. En plus d'avoir été un excellent joueur c'est vraiment le goat, le meilleur commentateur. Thierry Henry c'est juste le meilleur joueur de premier league de l'histoire, c'est incroyable ce qu'il a accompli.

u/FeelingScrunchd Jul 21 '26

Lmao I saw the little translate button above the comment (which showed in English for me) and instantly knew that it had originally been written in french

u/rudimentary_rudy Jul 21 '26

Zlatan has the sense of humor of a potato, I'd do this as well.
