Pele never played in Europe if I am correct...all his club career was USA n Brazil so he should understand that the most difficult football competition lies in Europe. kudos to maradona at least he played top leagues. so comparing himself with messi just cos he won 3 world cup is like saying Ramos having won 4 champions league title is better than ronaldo delima |

This man is plain foolish, football is more competitive now than their time. Messi is the best player ever and lots of football players and coaches gave confirmed that already. I watched some of this Pele clips and I just shake my head, defenders were so docile |

The truth they say it's a bitter pill to swallow. Pele and Maradona are leagues above the likes of C. Ronaldo and Messi when you compare their all round football. Johan Cruff is another great player, watch his clips and thank me later. As for those saying football is easier then, it easier now, better medical team, boots, energy drinks, pitch and so on 1 Like |

zudozz:you dont know history bro. U talk like this because you hear of messi everyday. Many fine player has crossed the game of football and messi is one of them. Messi could be among 10 legends of football. I don't thought but you will be mistaken if you think people like maradona, pele couldn't match him you might be wrong because this player has a god-status when it comes to football. |

That's what make Ronaldo fun to watch more than Messi.... He can use the Head, Use the Left and Right Foot, Run ... CR7 is the Goat ...... Ronaldo won the Greatest Cup in football trice consecutively and he was also there and you call the Kid God of Football. Ronaldo is the real GOAT |

We have 2 dimensions in the world of soccer. 1) National Team Dimension 2) Club Dimension In the case of National Team, Pele was superb while Messi beats him hands down when it boils down to club level. At least this man should accord some respect to Messi if not for anything, but for the fact that he broke a record even him (Pele) couldnt smell in his playing days. You think sey e easy to win 3 straight WB and 5 in total? Sentiment apart, Pele was good but I think Messi is better. For him to have compared Messi to someone who used drugs in his playing days, I think old age is starting to affect Mr Pele. |

DEADALIVE:How is it possible that a Brazil was able to win the World Cup 3 times with Players not playing in Europe? Pele was not the only one not playing in Europe. Jairzinho, Tostao,Rivelino Carlos Alberto etc That would challenge the validity of the assumption that playiing in Europe means what you think it means When Dunga lifted the World Cup as captain was he still playing in Europe Eusebio and George Best were greats too and were playing in Europe . Why was Pele considered to be greater? Brazil is a great football nation and playing in Europe is not the be all and end all English players have been playing in Europe for ever and they are still rubbish 1 Like |

Dee60: Messi makes long accurate passes as if it's done with laser technologies! Dribbling is another thing!! And any season he plays as false nine again, then the world will record another goal scoring feat, just like what he did back then. |

Olumeme:Docile? Are you even aware of the rule changes since that time. Life is very easy for attackers now compared to then Offside - Strikers had to be BEHIND the defender. To be in line was OFFSIDE Straight red for tackle from behind. In those days nothing like that Straight red for deliberate handball to stop goal THEN nothing like that Back pass goal keeper could pick the ball up with their hands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX2HcvMkOiA Deny obvious goal scoring opportunity by foul Straight red card now THEN nothing like that. All offsides were offside whether interfering with play or not The ball was of leather and tended to get heavier if it was wet/raining I think the difference is so much that we are not comparing the same game really 2 Likes |

Football in those days was much harder than the one of present days. Most of you are just sentimental in judgement, well , everyone with his or her opinion. Pele analysis is very correct about Messi. Come rain, come sunshine, Messi can never be compare to pele neither can Fifa declare Messi the greatest. Besides Messi has not won the world cup which pele won 3 times. In pele era, there were a lot of skillful players and football was difficult than what it is now. 2 Likes |

Re: You Can’t Compare Messi With Me, Says Pele by distinctguy: 3:04pm On Dec 06, 2018 |
During Pele's era, only 16 countries compete for the world cup. Moreover, out of the 3 world cups Brazil won during Pele's era it was only in the 1970 edition that he was regarded as the best player of the competition(which was his last cup). There were other players in the Brazilian squad with better qualities than Pele and they were awarded best player of the competition ahead of Pele. So, the old man should check his records better! All modern day greats are better than Pele and co. 1 Like |

Sotland:You're wrong. Football of nowadays is harder. Keeper wear gloves now which makes it easy to save than before No offside rule then but we have offside rules now Saying football is harder then is baseless perhaps you want to say there is more competition then than now |
Re: You Can’t Compare Messi With Me, Says Pele by Teymanhenry(f): 3:08pm On Dec 06, 2018 |
please sir I've watched ur highlights n parts of ur games on youtube, you are not better than messi..had u played in Europe and scored such amount of goals then I'll give it s second thought..imagine Messi playing in Brazil,with d best team.. shey wen Neymar was playing there,he was said to be better than Messi n Ronaldo...Messi is not even a striker so why compare ur goals to his?? winning the world cup is not an individual award,its like saying Modric won d balon d'or because he won d champions league n his team almost won d world cup |
Re: You Can’t Compare Messi With Me, Says Pele by distinctguy: 3:09pm On Dec 06, 2018 |
Sotland: But Pele won the best player just in 1970 world cup, which testifies to the fact that others were actually the real backbone of the Brazilian squad in the 2 previous world cups Pele won |

Pele has consistently hyped himself which is not the quality of a true great. If you are truly great, you would be humble. He has also never praised Messi! In my opinion, Messi ranks easily above Pele and Maradona, who also recently took a jibe at Messi. Jealousy! Watch the best videos of Pele, then Maradona. Compare with what Messi displays week in week out at Barcelona and you would easily see that the little man Messi, is unrivaled. Just to add, the game is faster now, defenders harder and tougher , and the atmosphere far more tense than in the days of Pele and Maradona. 1 Like |

Why Nigerians think like this..... I watched Pele documentary... It's hard for you to break into national team cos there is a lot of gladiators that's one and 2 playing world cup that time when you have teams like Italy and Germany no be beans..... Pele is respected worldwide right from the 70s 80s and till now..... Much accolades for him... This is a Messi that played against team Nigeria under 20 and yet we are being ribbed for them to lift that trophy |
