The ballon dor has no value in my mind cause even when they repeatedly gave it to cr7 and messi(2 of the best of their generation) there were times Ribery, Snijder, Xavi all deserved it more than them

@@philipthomas8928 Iniesta aswell but yea ur point is very valid

honestly, the ballondor lost all merit and credibility in my eyes when ribery didnt win it in 2013

I know, I really wish he had won it in 2013...like Sneijder in 2010, with the separate awards by France Football and FIFA rather than the merged award, he would have won it, which makes it all the more frustrating.

Robbery

Best wing pair ever ?

@@tamsmith291 Yes, best wing pair ever.

twin turbo

not sure about his mentality. not saying hes mentally weak but he always struck me as a guy who needed absolute confidence from his coach. obviously this helps all players but some can only truly perform at their peak when this is the case. like i think ronaldo would just say "fuck u" and go out there and perform even if his manager has zero confidence in him whereas ribery needed that. maybe an 8/10 would be more appropriate since he was a fighter and didnt just give up if his coach didnt fully trust him, but just that he couldnt really be his best if he didnt have the complete trust of the coach. (and yes, i know theres not that big a difference between 8 and 9 lol but whatever)

@@diablejambe3460 he is like Platini and Zidane

A living legend

@@lexkanyima2195 nobody is like Zidane.. just like nobody is like Ronaldinho... some players are literally so unique, comparison is impossible. Zlatan is another one... totally unique.

He did well for Munich, but some call it team 'hollywood', they are all stars.. one dude doesnt carry that.. players like Lahm, Kroos, Shweinsteiger, Mueller, Robben; Gomez... And you're saying Ribery carried them? Not even close.. that was a team effort and when all cylinders were pumpin, that was one of the most loaded squads I've ever seen...

Sneijder 2010

#Robbery 😎💯💣💨

He was also fantastic for France in 2006. Tremendous player.

P

Ribery and Robben are player supposed to be “Selfish” player but somehow it worked

100% agree. He was robbed.

Just like sneijder, iniesta and xavi many players through out the years has or have been robbed 🤷‍♂️

Ronaldo clear that year. 66 goals

@@alexpaulino1513 do you know what Franck ribery did that year?

​​@@rwholemilkisgood5050 And in with stacked teams he played? Dude, he became 3rd after messi. Robben was as good if not better than him. But he definitely wasn't any better than cr7, nor messi. His argument for the award is cause he won more instead of individual brilliance. That Bayern side was magic and France was always a stacked team.

Right back you mean ;)

Cafu. Best right back of all times

can’t wait to see the same left cutback a million times

Yeah until Bale enjoyed him.

​@@mbokogoddfifa6522Lahm : hold my beer

@Jerome S with each other?

@Jerome S no Benzema had a lawsuit and Ribery was exiled

@Jerome S Who cares about their private lives, we want to see them play..

He was already 35 then. He had his chance in 2010 as their main man but he flopped.

@@ronniep9272 Have seen old players playing like Z. Ibrahimovic, H. Larsson, C. Ronaldo, L. Figo... You name em. I guess he could be a bench-warmer atleast 😒

And a great sportsman.

Not yet no but one day for sure

Thanks man

One of the great players I loved to watch ✋ Hence the number in my name ❤️

That's rubbish. It's because of people like you fawning over them that some players didn't win the Ballon d'Or when they should have. Cristiano and Messi did not deserve it in 2013, Ribery did, and he should've won it. Also, they're not the two best ever players, Cristiano certainly not. Messi is arguable.

Idk how fast time passes for u but it flies for me so 1 vid a week is fine

What are you talking about ? The international trophy and club level trophy is different, international trophy is like if he ever won the World Cup or euro with france national team, that wc runner up doesn't count as international trophies bruh, he only has club level trophies in his cabinet, he hasn't won any trophy under france national team.

So what?! @@Janee8336

I love Ribery and he definitely should have won his Ballon dor, was one of the greatest in his generation But the all time Franch players are stacked with Greatness, like G.O.A.T level greatness in Zidane, Platini, Papin, Henry, Viera, Thuram, Desaily.... The list goes on and on

@@philipthomas8928 he can absolutley fit right in the top 5 but unlucky not to win a major trophy for his country

@@philipthomas8928 Zidane, Platini, Henry, Viera, Ribery then you´ve got the likes of Thuram, Desailly, Papin, Cantona, Fontaine, etc, etc.

@@joseantoniozunino8489 I donno man I really can't put Ribery top 5 or even top 10,no disrespect to Ribery but France had some absolute ballers in attack, midfield and in defense... Henry, papin scores for fun then there's Zizou who I consider the best of all time, Viera and Makelele were 2 of the most crucial CDMs in history then there's Thuram who gave Cafu(best RB in history imo) a run for His money ... There's soo much talent here I just don't see Ribery in the top 10 French players of all time but he's definitely the best of his generation

@@philipthomas8928 Fair take mate, it´s really tough to put him up there. I do think though he easily slots as one of the best 7 Wingers of all time, and this is not debatable :D

You and George Karl. What happened to the dog?
