Tesppidd, honestly, I don't really fancy Pele.

Maradona is better than Pele. So is Messi and Ronaldo.

People hail him(Pele) for scoring incredible amount of goals , when the truth is he spent 20 years playing in an under developed league where FC Santos were always beating other teams with crazy scorelines like 10-2, 8-0 and so on.

As for his world Cup win, he was just the most hyped player, probably because he was a local talent.
It's the same way some of the young players over there are hyped whenever they get called up to the national team. That Brazil team had other players who were banging in the goals.

Pele is nothing but an overhyped Legend.

Topmaike007:
I disagree with you, why Maradona no win pass one world Cup and pele did in his time... Where was European best Alfredo distefano when Pele was winning world cups... Your assumption is just like saying Messi is overhyped because he is a one club player..

In the 90s Brazilian league was one of the best in the world.

So don't call Santos an armature club, was it not corinthians from Brazil that eliminated Chelsea from World club Cup?

GrammarNazi1:


"According to FIFA's official website, Pele scored 1,281 goals in 1,363 games, but it must be noted that this figure includes date from a significant number of unofficial matches, such as friendly tours with Santos and the New York Cosmos."

joviegghead:


I read on some of his atrocities. I was sad.

One thing he was notorious for was 'mispositioning' players and tactical failure and stubbornness.

But let's him give time. And pray he gives the best players in the team playing time. And put our players in the right positions.

joviegghead:


Excuse me Sir, this thread is for smart people who get there facts right.

Just answer this question before you start barking again :

What timeline /era did pele play play in?

, 90s? Aye?

Corinthians ko, Colossians ni.

I never criticised playing for one club. I criticised playing in an under developed league.

Ligue 1 is often called 'farmers league', where PSG dominates. Brazilian league was worse. Santos were like Man city playing school boys(maybe exaggerated).

Let me not even analyse his world Cup wins

joviegghead:

True.

Over-hyped, self acclaimed GOAT.

it's disgusts me when he's praised and ranked with Maradona. I wish people could just dig deeper about the guy.

Topmaike007:
I 8-2 say this all of you that said pele is over hype are dumb...

Overhype win three world Cup score many international goals..

pu7pl3:
Finally no board to blame for any fvck up...he did y'all a solid tho, cos it's cos of him y'all still have Messi

homesteady:


It's because of him that Messi wanted to leave.

So even Madrid fans know that Messi staying was a jackpot.

Yet some busy body Barca fans thought otherwise.


BTW; Ronaldo hasn't recovered to play tomorrow.

No Messi versus Ronaldo duel until match day 6.

homesteady:
See how Monchengladbach are playing Madrid abeg... our team still needs a lot of work.

DissTroy:

Why do you think the Barça management have been hiding the exact details of what Messi earns for over five years now? Players would have probably rioted asking for increases too.
I don't even think 95 million is his full annual wages. There are so many add-ons shrouded in secrecy.

When club officials have been asked about the specifics of Messi' earnings, they suddenly develop amnesia.

I won't be surprised if it's revealed that Barça funds his holidays (like Neymar gets PSG private jet rides benefits).

Messi is the de facto president of Barça. Bartomeu has just been ceremonial.
