He had a better option, Martinez had rushed out crashing, just lift the ball above him. Church closed. The moment overwhelmed him as he rushed the shot.

Easiest option is to go across the keeper back where it came from

Where he went was the hardest option

fredoooooo:
Eskiss me sir pele no get Olympic medal o .. and penaldo no get one too.. Ronaldo fans hardly talk about the Olympic for reasons best known to dem ..

Pele never played at the Olympics

How can someone who was topscorer in Brazilian league at 16, and World Cup winner at 17 be going for underaged tournaments

Nigga never stepped foot in Olympics yet International Olympic Committee named him Athlete of the Century . GOAT doings

OhBritannia:
All respect and much respect to Pele but let me cap you the legit.

Do you think a young Pele in this ear in 2022 with how football has advanced, gotten more physical and stronger, do you think Pele can beat Ramos or gatuso or pepe or van dyle?

Do you think pepe will score a single goal against this current Argentine side?

Football back in the days was a joke, a player will be jogging with the ball, he will past one to three players and still standing?

Hahah come and do it now and see if you won't find yourself getting rushed to the hospital

What rubbish. Back in the day when tackle from behind was not abolished, and butchers take to the pitch vs now when one small touch ref would blow.whistle

The only thing you can say is players covered more km back in the day

As for tackles, you need to commit grievous bodily harm to get sent off back then

Pele was kicked out of two world cups -.1962 and 1966

The below picture was very iconic, how Portugal kicked him out of 1966 World Cup, with no red card given

PDPGuy:
Messi becomes the 1st man to score in every knockout match at a single World Cup ����

Expert17:
So Pele didnt do this?

Pull up 1958 World Cup and tell me which knockout round Pele did not score in

Amoto94:
Hope this is yours and not mine? Asking for a friend

Ah I see - DJ things

I don't know why I keep reading nonsense like Chelsea linked with Nkuku, this winger, that winger, Caicedo (same position as Kovacic), Gvardiol. . . .and I never see us linked with players in the ONE POSITION we most desperately need, the one position that immediately provides the biggest differential to us today. I am talking the DM position. I always get pissed off when I read shyt like this, and our name is always missing.

Team of the tournament?

Below for me


________________Martinez

Hakimi_____Saiss______Gvardiol_____Hernandez

___________Enzo__________Amrabat

_________________Bruno

Saka____________Messi___________Mbappe


Honourable mentions - Nouahi, Alvarez, Macalister, Casemiro, Kovacic, Molina and Thiago Silva

Without this Argentine egbon adugbo Messi might not be a World Cup winner

Kudos to him

This guy changed Messi life, right from Copa

Kilishihunter:
Argentina na home of many European immigrants, People wey use war and sickness eradicate or chase out most of their blacks to other south american countries till they became a "whitened" nation, You no see as their fans and players be Caucasians ni?
If no be for Messi I no send their racist papa

Argentina suppose get as many blacks as all dem other South American countries, but they wiped them out. On top of that, na there the Nazis run and were welcomed after committing in WW2. I can never support Argentina or Uruguay for that reason. Uruguay even try compared to Argentina wey do total wipeout

BlueMann:
From 10 to 11?

If person get N1bln and you get N1mln, wetin consign you if he miscalculate his own by N100k. Take the import of the message which is dem no be mate for World Cup doings, and stop looking for the inconsequential

Ballzproblem2:
Pele had it easy then ,there was no offside rule, nothing

Repeating lies will not make it true, it only marks you out as a lazy researcher who is no position to compare eras. Offside rule is the same since 1925

Kilishihunter:
Alright boss but I think Kempes 1978 should be higher up on the list than Rossi 1982, Kempes winning with Argentina was almost akin to maradano 's, Not that he carried Argentina almost singlehandedly like the latter but he didn't have as much quality players on his team too, Rossi also was poor in the group stages before lighting up the knockout rounds

Rossi scored ko goals only, that makes him more special

Kempes was playing at home and scored 6 to Rossi 8

Unnecessary trade war

Humans are used to posting YouTube videos on Facebook, Twitter and vice versa

Kilishihunter:
Beckenbauer 1974?

We no dey count sweepers and DM here, only those with verifiable stats

oliverano:
In this your list, which of the Ronaldo is #4?

Portuguese

Messi dragged him into that position because he competed with Messi for many years so can't be placed with also-rans in the final reckoning. Same way Mohammed Ali drags Joe Frazier and Ken Norton up the ranking

lordfalcao:
I will gladly see Jorginho sit for people like Enzo Fernandez

Enzo Fernandez plenty for this game,meaning . Jogginghoe is a nobody

Updated . . . Facts only. . .

Most dominant World Cup winners performances in order

1. Maradona - 1986
2. Pele - 1958
3. Ronaldo - 2002
4. Messi - 2022
5. Rossi - 1982
6. Kempes - 1978
7. Garrincha - 1962
8. Zidane - 1998

Adiwana:
So like play, Ronaldo has now been relegated as the fourth best player in history. From being in the convo for the GOAT to this. In fact it’s Messi,Pele, Maradona in one category and then Ronaldo in another. Football is a cruel sport

That's the World Cup for you. Messi has actually dragged Ronaldo to a spot where there are 4, and all others are preference picks

1. Pele
2. Messi
3. Maradona
4 Ronaldo

You can fill 5 to 10 with your preference from Cruyff, Eusebio, Di Stefano, R9 etc

andrewbaba44:
I don’t know why you hate Messi

I'm a Pele fan. I've not spoken false against Messi, anybody who reviews the facts will know I spoke only truth

Why will I not want to tell my grandkids I saw the GOAT play in the flesh twice?

I saw Messi play live for Argentina against Brazil at Emirates in 2007, and again for Barca against Man City at Etihad in 2015. I took this picture of him missing penalty against Joe Hart. How many people shouting GOAT, GOAT can say they've seen him play in the flesh. If he's the GOAT, I've got stories to tell my children, but he ain't

lordfalcao:
Enzo fernandez is needed, then Jorginho can leave.

Chelsea should do everything required to sign him

You done finally see DM abi?

Khayceeofficial:
Mehn, Mbappe is Fvcking good at his craft
That guys leg hits a ball harder than a truck. Really wanted France for the win cos they fought hard but nonetheless, a good finale to cap Messi's fairytale.

Mbappe didn't score a single goal from pure pace in this World Cup, but from pure finishing. Something for the "pace merchant" angle guys like Havertz10

AdisaOwala:
I just checked Maradona's record and boy - Messi seems to have just made mockery of it oh

Choi

Don't be one sided, check Pele's while you are at it, in the spirit of equality

Messi - 9 non penalty goals, 8 assists in 26 games

Pele - 12 non penalty goals, 11 assists in 14 games

donstan18:
Messi and Ronaldo career just dey end differently.

Chai

Ronaldo will be in sifia pains tonight walai

lordfalcao:
mk I hear say na because of this you dy support france

That has always been my criteria in every International tournament once my favourites go out.

Ibime:
England, Senegal and Holland

If any of these fail, I switch to the team with the most black players

donstan18:
I'm forced not to believe most tattoos represents grief and pains.

Consider many guys of my generation that got Che Guevara tattoos in early 2000s and now want nothing to do with Socialism

Donjazet2:
What makes getting a tattoo bad?

One of my best friend died in car crash in 2004. I planned on getting a biceps tattoo to honour him. One of my seniors, only 4 years older, sat me down and seriously advised against it. I'm glad I listened to his advice. Who you are today is far from who you would be in 20 years time. I even had to use Google maps recently to find out where my friends grave is located. That's all I would say about that. Lordfalcao should think carefully. In 5 years time, you might hear Messi did something foul, then you are stuck with his tattoo forever.

Expert17:
Same here.

Oga iBIME what do you think?

GOATED World Cup as someone who has watched since 1994 WC, plus one or two games in 1990

lordfalcao:
I am getting messi face tatooed on my body

Don't make such a foolish mistake. Keep your body clean

BlueMann:
The Drake curse didn't work. The grace too plenty niyen

Drake still lost that bet. I'm sure bookies only pay out for 90 mins result

Sergio Aguero doing a John Terry with full kit

Make nobody just mention me. Mention your father

Meanwhile Messi is goated. We would discuss him in relation to Pele later, but Pele never needed a goalkeeper to lift him to glory.

Make una just allow me drown my sorrows with these Glen something
