Why Messi And Ronaldo Are Not The Goats But Pele And Maradona. by ashacot: 3:09pm On Sep 25, 2019 |
Since the coming of Messi and C ronado Reign, some football fans has been calling them the GOATs . It is definitely the most consistent comparison in football lately as Even Ronaldo Delinma, Zidane, Romario, Johan Cryuff, Eusobio, Alfredo Destefano, Frank Bekermbuer, and George Best has obce been called the greatest players of all time until FIFA named Pele of Brazil and Diego Amando Maradona of Argentina as the greatest players of all time. Pele was named for his outstanding performances in Santos but importantly the the fifa world cup which is regarded as the greatest sporting competition in the world. It is in history that he won 3 fifa world cup meaning that he ruled the world for 15 years and the world champions. Same is said about diego maradona who played very well too for boca junior and later napoli and barcelona but did greater things for argentina with the most unbelievable individual performance in the fifa world cup. While messi and C ronaldo has world football through European cup competition the champions league, They have failed to conquer the world like Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo Delinma, and Zenedine Zidane did. Don't get me wrong, Messi and C ronaldo are great footballers, butthey will be remembered as people who did unbelievable things in world football individually but failed to be the world champions just like soccer greats like EUSOBIO of purtugal with4 champions league and 9 league titles for benfica, Johan Cryuff of Holland with 3 chapions league for ajax and 7 league titles, Alfredo Destefano Of Argentina With 5 champions League and 8 league titles with real madrid, , Pukas of Hungary with 4 champions league and 5 league titles for madrid, Mitchel Platini of France with one champions league and many league titles for juventus and George Best of Man United and Scotland. Finally, let us be reminded that in Argentina, Maradona is Argentina greatest footballer followed by messi, C Ronaldo is Portugal greatest footballer followed by EUSOBIO and Figo, al Fredo destafano is Real madrid greatest footballer followed by C Ronaldo. While Messi is Barcelona Greatest footballer. Let us note that no matter how you want to argue it, FIFA will never crown who didnt win the FIFA WORLD CUP AS THE GOAT BECAUSE THEY WILL FEEL THE WORLD CUP IS BEING RELEGATED BELOW THE EUFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE. Kudos to C ronaldo and Messi for ruling their generation but are never the greatest. |

Very simple matter: None of these dudes has won a world cup for their country ... and until they do, they can never be compared to the likes of Pele or Maradona...EVER!!! |

MrBrownJay1: It is just the simple fact. No one will ever match their feat in football. They were able to conquertheir continent and the world. So was Ronaldo Delinma and Zidane. I feel sorry for Messi and C Ronaldo cos they probably deserve to win the world cup, but they didnt |

ashacot: As much as everything you said above is true, I disagree that any of them DESERVE it. Only the best team in the world (key word being TEAM) deserves it. |

How can someone watch what Messi has done in football for the past 15 years and say pele, Maradona, Ronaldo, are better just because he didn’t win a World Cup?? Did you analyze the entire situation? How many chances did pipita miss at WC or SA finals? Do you think Maradona would had won a Wc in 1986 without kempes? 1 Like |

12large1: Sadly, you are not making any sense.... whatever Messi or anyone did at club level is great, but unless they winning the big one with their country, they can NEVER be viewed (and compared) as the greatest.... Btw, as for your claim about Maradona and Kempes bla bla bla, I guess Messi is playing by himself when winning all these trophies with Barcelona, abi? |

Pele is the most overrated player of all time, he's a fraud even FIFA can't confirm the goals he scored and his official goals in his career is less than 600 goals and over 50% of them were base on offside Brazilians don't even regard pele as the greatest Brazilian footballer because pele did nothing but took the credit. As for maradona, he's a good dribbler that is it. The greatest player of all time will be messi follow by puskas, maradona, ronaldo and 2 more before we even mention pele |

Jokerman: Your List is so spot on though many may alternate the 5th and 6th position. However, i will put De stefano and Cryuff ahead of Ronaldinho |

12large1: Messi and CRonaldo Fan boys. You guys should take a chil. Messi is a great footballer but he is not a world champion. Just Johan Cyuff took Holland to a world cup final, so did messi. Cryuff was equally very Talented but failed to rule the world. Messi equally played with great footballers in Argentina. Macherano, Higuain, Aguero, Baniga, Tevez, Walter, Riqueme, De maria but the biggest crown eluded him so he fell short. Pele, maradona, ronaldo, Zidane were able to cross the finish line. |

Binikingdowm: You are just saying your own. Go to fif official website and see who the greatest footballer is not all these things you are typing here. If you think it is easy to win one world cup ask messi and ronaldo to explain to you talk less of winning 3 world cup. Pele santos in his playing time will win the copa liberational which will qualify them for the inter continental cup(world club cup) and he will still use his santos to humiliate the real madrids, ac milan, barcelona and ajax. Go and watch his clip then come back and tell yourself if truly the only man who won the biggest trophy in football 3 times is a fraud or the greatest to ever play the game. Messi who is yet to win a spoon with his National team is now the greatest right? Dont get me wrong, i love messi more than any one |

Binikingdowm: Do you think Messi would have survived in Pele's time?? Messi that frustration made him accuse his football federation of corruption , not to talk of being a black man in the 1950-1960s.. Lol.. Just forget it... Pele and Marsdona are ahead of Messi and Ronaldo |

Jokerman:Lionel messi would have scored over 5000 goals. There was no such thing as offside then, no good rules. Do you know that the goals Pele scored during his university days and on the streets was added to his career goals? He's a big fraud |
