Firstly its football, not soccer.
Let them be confused. They name their sport American football when most of the activity is with the hands, not the feet.But Americans disagree with you. :laugh: I just used soccer to avoid confusion with american football, which I love too, by the way.
Pele is a fraud. He never played in europe. We all know how bad brazilian defenders are nowadays in brazilan league so we can imagine how bad they were while pele was playing there.
Yes he got 3 world cups its true but anyone knows how many world cup games he has?go check it out and you'll be surprise.
More, in 66 in england he played against one of the best players all time, eusebio from Portugal, and pele did nothing against portuguese team. Brazil lost that game and they did not went throw the group stage.
For me in 20 century maradona is the best leaving the podium for eusebio and pele.
In 21 century we have messi, cristiano ronaldo and ronaldo the beast.
That left me speechless. Total rubbish imo.
A fraud and only 3 world cups???? How many world cups have Messi or fake Ronaldo won?
We are talking 40-50 years ago, players didn't travel from south America to Europe to play. Pitchs were far worse and defenders were harder.
Agree about Eusebio though, Maradona will never get total respect fron England fans.
Ronaldinho is the best!
If you ask any Manchester United fan of a certain age they'd all say Duncan Edwards! Big Dunc was a man mountain and was destined to be the future United and England captain but we were robbed after the Munich aircrash
