Not a fair comparison. For much of the time, Ribery was injured. I still think he's a much better player than Robben. |

He was given many opportunities to prove himself on the left but he always tries to dribble 2-3 players.Football is a team game but Ribery makes Robben appear to be Xavi when it comes to selfishness.
Also Malouda is a far more intelligent and efficient player than Ribery on the left (and no matter the position). I can't understand why a player would keep on dribbling when it clearly doesn't work and when the opponents have worked it out how to defend against him.Take the Costa Rica (the first friendly) game, from that to last night he's been trying the same routines, run-run-run and pass the ball when you're blocked |
