The College Dropout Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ribery's very effective in the Bundesliga. He's not top 5 most talented in the squad imo and for that alone he can't win it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Ribery's very effective in the Bundesliga. He's not top 5 most talented in the squad imo and for that alone he can't win it. In the squad or world? He's definitely their best player, ask the germans who is the best player in their league, I don't see why they'd say a foreign player if they didn't think it was him. As for being the most talented in the world he's clearly not, Messi and Ronaldo, I'd say Suarez as well are infront of him. The thing is that the prize depends all on the criteria, if it's based on who has been the best player for the team that has won the most it's clearly Ribery, but I would have Ronaldo and Messi above him just because they're better footballers and it's an individual award after all.

Fair enough, in the end it's all subjective, I'm not necessarily saying your wrong, I just find the fact that you find five players in the Bayern squad more talented than Ribery a bit new and unheard of.

Flip Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 What about David Luiz? Too mistake prone to be considered one of the absolute best, on his day he is possibly better than Thiago Silva (who is the only central defender on the shortlist).

Seen him make quite a few mistakes, don't end up costing him much because he plays in such a superior team. As for Lahm I completely agree, one of the worlds most consistent players. Why does Martinez make that list and not Schweinsteiger? (serious question) I like Martinez, very underrated, but if I had to pick one player in Bayern except Ribery to build a team around it be Lahm or Schweinsteiger. Schweinsteiger also got Bundeliga player of the year last year if I'm not completely wrong and seeing him live is different to TV, he moves around the pitch with such fludity you actually don't realize how much space he covers.

I agree about Neuer, he's a tad over-rated but very talented. IMO he's yet to hit his peak. I'd also say Schweinsteiger is more talented than Ribery. I just thought of Martinez first because aside from Robben i've seen him the most in that side. I also didn't want to list another midfielder.

There's a lot of truth in what you say, I think he might play well against better teams when he knows he can't drop his focus, against worse teams he'll switch off when there's not much happening.

midds Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Not exaggerating here but Sunday is the defining day in Messi's career. He's always been compared to Maradona obviously but the fact he dragged his team to win a World Cup has always been thrown in Messi's face. Sunday is his time to put that right and prove his greatness. Absolutely pivotal game for him and his eventual legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Weird thing being Maradona didn't even score in the 86 final. Don't think it matters too much what he does, to an extent, more that Argentina win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The day of his life. We've all waited a while for this one.

They don't have they players and to do so they would have to compromise their style. Not too mention that they barely bothered with Ronaldo. Low would be an utter mentalist to change the team from yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was easily Argentina's best player and just plain unlucky. Everything went through him but he just couldn't find the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
