I couldn't agree more. I thought Ribery diserving of man of the match honors in more than one case throughout the World Cup.
He's still young at 23 and has a bit to learn in terms of tempo, but his counter attack ability and work rate are unbelievable. His pace on the ball and ferociously incessant attacking are flat out scary from a defensive perspective, and he plays on both sides of the ball.
I think it's big fat contract time for Frank Ribery and much deserved.
