naposium: That documentary is a trash then! Gladiators are in every country before you can break into the national team. Only 16 countries compete for world cup then Only Italy was the strong team, as winner of 2 world cups. Uruguay and Germany only had 1 cups each. World cup wasn't that a strong competition back then, just like Falcons winning women African nations cup |

The fact that no body is mentioning Ronaldo in this conversation will tell anybody with sense that Messi is the highest any football player will go this generation. He is a reference. Just like Mayweather in boxing. |

Foodforthought: I know his height man! Was Pele a main team playmaker like Messi? What was his strong foot? What position does he play when he was playing? Counter my points! And you must be a Ronaldo fan, the self acclaimed best player of the last 20 years |

........ this is long over due. during the days of the legend they were no FIFA property, they had no protection on the pitch of play, no rules like we have today. Pele and his like play the game when it was crude compare to a refined game we have here today. the modern age football is nothing compare to then. introduction of var, hightech designed balls and many others. LEGEND are made over time not while in service, we don't need to make an over hyped lengend out of this guy's they are good but unlike men that came up with over a hundred skill the boys we have are utilizing. Give it to the LIVING LEGENGS. 3 Likes |

pele by far, he is the youngest man to have played in the final of world cup, the only man with 3 world cup medals. When he visited Nigeria in 1978 in the match btw Fluminense FC and Nigeria 11, that guy dribled everyone on the pitch, he took the ball from one end to the other and back without anyone been able to tackle him. In 1967, the Nigerian Civil War had a 48-hour ceasefire to watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_2_22/ai_n16071178/ Maradona is great, no doubt, but man pass man, he did not win World cup 86 alone, infact in the final match, Buruchaga scored the winning goals. Messi did not even do much in international football. |

Let's say person A was worth 10 million dollars in 1900. Person B is worth 100 million dollars today. Who's richer? If you chose B, you're wrong. $10,000,000 in 1900 dollars is worth $298,885,775.91 in 2017 when adjusted for inflation. So before questioning Old man Pele's sanity, you got to revalue his accomplishments fairly. What type of: Grass did they use Ball did they use Type of food Did they have performance enhancement drugs or drinks? Note alcohol was considered doping at the time What shoes were used Did they have friction-less wear or were they playing with khaki How fast could humanity run? Could people record themselves and watch to correct mistakes? How many awards / events did they have then How much was at stake? There's a difference between dying for $100 and $30 million How was health care then compared to now Only when you have asked these and more can you say Pele's high on cheap argentine weed. Btw - if Messi was born in pele time, he'd have DIED. Modern medicine & steroids is what allowed him to live, add height and strengthen his bones. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Bloooody: If there is any one destroyed is you, how many cups has mercy won for Argentina? with all his magic left foot it is either you're a kid or you don't know football with the zombies that clicked like to your trash. World cup is the utmost goal for any player, participation never gives trophies, but winning gives trophies. Pele remains the best thing that ever happened to the world of football. Watch out how Messi's name would vanish when he retires from active football, but Pele's name goes with football. Don't argue with sentiment ok. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Bloooody: Dapada I might not be a Messi fan but comparing young Pele and Messi is disrespectful and pointless. I respect Messi because I'm a lover of good football but leave stats and look at results only. How does a person who hasn't won a world cup compare to one who has three. I suggest that you watch the movie about Pele to indeed understand how great he was and how could have been if he to have played in this era of Football 2 Likes 1 Share |

There is one fundamental difference between the two eras Now You often get a red card for tackle from behind. Then referee did not even blow his whistle. So when a striker these days runs through an entire field and no one touches him he looks like a superstar. The defenders are TRAINED not to touch him THEN the defenders were trained to HACK him down like a tree No way any player would run regularly through 6 players in those days without being cut down and then the referees did nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8GdiMW4BL8 1 Like |

LIVEBYTRUTH: Thank you very much Messi is nothing but a barcelona legend He will only be remembered by barca fans He is no different from alfredo di stefano real madrid legend Alfredo de stefano was also argentine but he never won anything with argentina and that is why the argentines don't regard him The argentines don't even regard messi because he has never won anything for them And some barca fans here will say with their mouth that messi is the greatest of all time What a joke Ronaldo is is one of the most respected players in real madrid manchester united and the greatest portuguese player of all time Most fans of manchester united real madrid and portugal see him as the greatest player of all time Unlike mercy that only barcelona fans value |

Holymann:There was no offside? Why not be silent. The offside rule was MORE STRINGENT in his days THEN if you were on the same line as the last player you were off side . You had to be closer to your own goal post than the last player That only changed in 1990 Clearly you are young but even then the internet is there do not just concoct rubbish after fufu overdose and start vomiting The offside rule from 1925 was that two players must be in front of you.( This usually means goalkeeper and another player but goalkeeper could be on the other side it does not have to be goalkeeper) From 1990 that changed to 1 player in front and one player on the SAME LINE so previously the striker must OVERTAKE the last defender Now they only have to be on the same line 1 Like 1 Share |
