Bergkamp and Cubillas

Rather Mad Witch
10/12 is a rather insane ratio.
Then you see six of them was against Greece and Jamaica and recall Argentina were rather peripheral figures at all those three Cups. Bergkamp.
oh and Cubillas

Hmmm... First one should be a toughie, but Bergkamp's moments of brilliance set him slightly ahead from Batistuta.
Second one - 1 Henry. The guy just cheated himself to another world cup. If Maradona has been made to be a pariah for his cheating nearly 30 years ago, then Henry is equally, if not more so. I must confess to not have heard of this Cubillas fellow, looks like I'll have to do some YouTube watching when I get home.
