And so it would be from time to time because our children and grand would still say this you have said

Well he might be the greatest footballer in history both for his on-field and off-field exploits, but other countries have their own legends too. They may not even be close to Pele's greatness, but their memories must not perish.

However, maybe Nigeria should consider honouring Pele by following Infantino's idea because of the minor, but symbolic role he played during the Biafran war.

Where you come out Mbappe?

Wey Okocha? Ronaldinho admitted he learnt dribbling from Okocha

The best way to immortalise Pele are these
1. Among other monuments named after him in Brazil, he should be honoured by having his image printed on one of their currencies. By so doing, his impact on Brazil and the entire world of football and sports will be better appreciated.
It isn't only politicians that impact greatly on societies that should enjoy that privilege.
2. Every country should endeavour to name at least a street or monument after him. This will ensure that the impact that football has made over the years in uniting the world is well appreciated and no other person symbolizes football other than the 'king' himself.
Rest In Peace Edson Arantes Do Nascimento
Rest In Peace Pele.

99% of people on this thread calling other indomie Generation didn't watch pele at his prime, na just wetin them hear from thier papa. Rubbish please.

I don't think anyone wey sabi football fit talk say Pele no good reach Messi. Are they kidding?

Yes Pele is the king of football.

Maradona is the Prince of football.

Ronaldo the Goat

Messi the magician.

Whodeyhouse:



Those of you using team achievement to compare players don't really much about football

How many balon dors did Pele win,how many European golden shoes, how many golden boots,91 goals in a calendar year, did Pele even come close to that??

World cup is a team achievement,it can't be used as a basis for comparison

Sissoko don carry world cup,is he now better than ronaldo because of that??

European players were not eligible to win balon d'Or till like 1995 or so. It was analysed Pele would've won about seven, he was awarded an honorary one and many more awards

The players you listed wouldn't have survived Pele's era, he didn't enjoy the protection those players enjoyed.
And please stop mentioning Drogba who scored 104 goals in 250 EPL games in GOAT debate.
Benzema only had one very good season in 20 years, Suarez and Lewy are far ahead of him.
Roberto Carlos , Ashley Cole and Patrice Evra were better than Marcelo and yeah Thuram and Cafu were also better than Dani Alves, what Alves have is trophies courtesy of being part of the best Barcelona side in history.

My Own G.o.a.t from top .
Messi
Pele
Cr7
Maradona
Ronaldo delima
Zidane
Ronaldinho
Cruyff
Van Basten
Henry/George Best

Note: Pele play ball Ooo. Dont be deceived by new generation pundits who say otherwise. For someone to be termed untransferable (national treasure). He destroyed European Champions back to back in intercontinental cup. If ballon dor was global then, FIFA said he should have 7 to his name. Make Una try read about this man. There was a goal he scored that was not documented. He ask for it to be animated. I think someone posted it yesterday. Oboy the goal bad

10-15yrs from now people will say this same thing.

Those of you shouting Pele is the GOAT one question DID YOU WATCH HIM PLAY

If you watch his clips there is nothing extraordinary about him thiery Henry, Maradona, Romario, Messi, Ronaldo all have a vast compilation of their terrific footballing moments although Messi comes first in this regard .

The greatest achievement accorded to Pele is winning three world cups but what most people don't know is that he only played an active part in two of those three world cups. Maradona,Zidane,Messi,Beckenbauer all reached two world cup finals Ronaldo Delima reached three although he played in two so I don't see the whole fuss about Pele winning threetwo world cups. He never won a Copa America, he won just two Copa libertadores what else ?.

I can't say Pele is better than Messi or the reverse but one thing I know is that of all the footballers I have watched and from all the commentaries, documenatries ,clips, and histories I know if I were to pick one player as the greatest in terms of talent,skill and achievements it would be LIONEL MESSI

Before you come with your "indomie Generation" chant , know this

I have seen documentaries on all the world cups from 1950 till date
1950 Uruguay beat Brazil at the Maracana on two legged finals
1954 West Germany won their first world cup
1958 Brazil won their first Pele scoring a brace in the finals
1962 Brazil won their second with Mané Garrincha as their talisman
1966 England with Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore and the rest
1970 Brazil, Pele giving that no look pass(assist) for Carlos Alberto's goal in the final. That goal is voted as the best goal at the world cup
1974 West Germany with Beckenbauer, Gerd Muller,Uwe seeler and the likes
1978 Argentina with Kempes
1982 Italy with Rossi
1986 Argentina with Maradona
1990 Germany with Lothar Matheus

I will stop there. Like I said I have seen documentaries and clips on all these world cups, in 1986 Maradona took all the credits but for me Jorge Valdano deserved better credits too most of you don't know who Jorge Valdano is,like I said I have seen documentaries

So on this G.O.A.T matter believe me when I say Pele is overated, remove the world cups I will pick Ferenc Puskas ahead of Pele

Argentina cant name any stadium after Pele even if other countries do

Fuckyoumod:
So your definition of the greatest player is by winning a competition that is held every four years?

So after four years, football died? Football paused? For another 4 years.
Every player went to sleep for another 4 years?

If I understand your childish point correctly, you mean the only football that is played is only in the world cup. So Every incredible, fantastic and individual performance by players at club level is null and void?

You must be high on some cheap dog shit!

With no disrespect to Pele....

Pele is a child to Messi as far as football is concerned. Take it or die with it!

Did they have the kind of salaries then as it is today?

Did they have the kind of pampering then as it is today?

Did they have the benefit of 1st class physiotherapy and coaching then as they do now?

Did they have the type of facilities then as they do now?

Did they have the type of referee protection as they do now?

You just saying what you do not know.

They had virtually everything today ppl have.

I hope you know Pele was the highest paid Athlete than? 2million dollars.
