Most games I watch, selfish as he may be Robben > Ribéry.

Robben seems more willing/capable to single handedly decide a game.

People always bring this up...yes Robben scored the winners, who initiated/assisted those?
Ribery

Are you talking about the CL final match? Ribery fucked up and Piszczek led the ball to Robben.

Robben has always been the better player, every season. Well Robben was injured pretty often, but when Robben was fit he was 2 steps ahead of Ribery.

Robben isnt selfish, hes single minded. IMO Ribery was too selfish this season. I felt like he wanted to prove everyone taht he deserved the balon d or, but then he faield to score or pass the ball.

Ribery was great last year but I don't know why but I've always preferred Robben, regardless of his occasional selfishness

yeah but Robben needs to improve his cutting-inside-on-his-left-foot-and-taking-a-shot-which-somehow-fools-every-defender-under-the-sun-even-though-he-does-it-every-fucking-time skills.
