Franck Ribéry

[Khandro]

I see today that Franck Ribéry has been awarded the European Footballer of the Year 2013 Award. I am not very knowledgeable about football I admit, but this seems to me a just reward. He is always a joy to watch giving 100% effort, 100% of the match. He never play-acts about pretended injuries, if he goes down after a tackle jumps straight up and carries on into the fray.
An inspiration to all young players I think. Would you agree?

Agree 100 percent a great player, well deserved award.

[tonyav]

Yes I agree, great player imo.

[tonyav]

LOL, yes he does, bibblebub.

[Svejk]

Has he been acquited then?

[ChillDoubt]

He's good, but in the recent Champions League Final was the worst of the 22 on the field for play-acting and petulance, which was a shame because the game (first half in particular) was a rare treat and a fantastic advertisement for the game.

Yes svejk, the French court dropped the case as they believed ribery didn't know the prostitute was underage.

[Ric.ror]

Didn't he fall out with his teamate when they poured champagne over him - hes a convert to Islam
