All these highlight reels ever seem to do for me is show how poor the quality of football used to be back then.

Yeah lots of semi pro back then, slower pace generally. Todays football demands a whole lot more, and its much more tactical (which isn't always fun).

All it did was make an argument for Robben to be there instead

Yeah, Robben is the much better player. Ribery is the guy who works really hard and stiffens your attack from the front with the odd deflected goal.


Sturridge should be among this list damnit! Won a CL before fucking Ribery.

There's a highlights video of the 1966 World Cup final in colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKKuk25rXJk (I assume retroactively colourised). It's striking how little fluency there is in the play there's lots of tackles flying in and long balls overhead. Bobby Charlton keeps on giving the ball away. You have to remember though that they played with a much heavier ball than nowadays, which definitely contributes to the playing style.
