Henman never really was good enough to win Wimbledon, or indeed, any Grand Slam. He was a good player rather than a world beater, but seeing as he regularly made it into the second week of wimbledon, which let's face it was a novelty for us Brits, this was reason enough for the hype.
The England football team do, on paper at least, possess a few players who are world beaters (and regularly show this for their respective clubs). Unfortunately, thus far this has not been displayed in this world cup (or maybe hasn't needed to be?). But there is still time....
