Racoon:Hi, Pelé is a single entity and so it should go with 'has', not 'have'. You can say Pelé AND Maradona have chequered history, since they're plural. Have is not a past tense of has, but rather both are verbs. Please check Google for further understanding as you're fond of this error. All the best. |

KingAzubuike: Do you think Messi or Ronaldo would have played any better if they had played in Pele's era, of course they would have played according to the level of knowledge of football then? Pele was an exceptional player, that is what is important. If he was born and played in this era, common sense should tell you that he would be playing differently and nobody would be talking about Messi or Ronaldo today. 2 Likes |

Racoon: 14. He got the Nickname Pelé when according to him he accidentally/unintentionally touched the ball with his hand when he could have used his leg. The crowd or some part of the crowd comprising some middles eastern people in Brazil then say pele, Pele ( meaning your leg, your leg in their local dialect) Since then the name stucked 15. When he made a Tour of Nigeria during the Civil War, an Armistice was declared so that The Nigerian and the Biafran can watch him play in 1969. 1 Like |

KingAzubuike: Kindly check your reasoning faculties. Talking should not precede thinking. Millions of people before you can not be wrong about a man and his demonstrated skills. And, your writing does not show your sense of appreciation of what you see. 1 Like 1 Share |

No doubt pele was the greatest ever footballer.... It's a pity most indomie generation don't know much about him but Messi and Ronaldo. His speed, stamina and ability to score goals were next to none. 1 Like 1 Share |

KingAzubuike: Pele is overhyped. I have checked his stats, he isn't as superb as touted. His records can't match Messi. I have done a critical analysis of his achievement to modern day star, he tried but not too superb. Garrincha won the worldcup where Pele couldn't play pass 1 or 2 games yet he was still crowned. Records for stats, he doesn't meet up. I will write on vanguard soon. He scored 60% of those goals officially and the rest in tours and exhibitions. He is good and above his peers at that time but he rode on a good team. He was arguably the face of football at that time. He was very good at his age but then, most games were based in Santos and unofficial games. 1 Like |

RIP, even though you played football when defence was porous and defenceless. If Pele have being a player now, he would have died an ordinary player. Thank God that nature smiled on him. |

KingAzubuike: Bitter fellow spotted! You forget to note that during Pele's active playing days, there was no yellow card & red card. He was brutally tackled. There's always a star in every era. Is Pele the only footballer in his era. He was labelled a NATIONAL TREASURE by the Brazilian govt. because of his contribution to not just the image of Brazil in sports but also the image of Brazil in the global space. If he was to play in this era, he would be still the GOAT. You for pray make them born you in Pele's era na, make we see whether you 4 reach world cup final, talk more of winning it, since football was quite easy then as you so claimed. I also hope that you're the G.O.A.T in your chosen field of endeavor. SMH! 3 Likes 1 Share |

KingAzubuike: It's the motion camera by then... There was no slow motion rather poor camera makes you think so. If it was that easy why having we see 100 of players in his own days with the same record, capabilities or so.? That's to show you this man was exceptional! 3 Likes |
