Pele with 3 world cup trophies is not getting much attention like Messi with just 1.
No social media in that era

Football wasn't this huge in that ear

I am a Messi fan but sometimes I wonder if some Messi fan are actually not mental affected by his obsession and addiction is imagine someone just scoring a decisive goal in a match makes people blow his trumpet as if he has won the trophy! Let us not forget this is just the beginning of the tournament he has only one goal! So also some players also scored one decisive goal as well. So let us wait until he has done something magnificent, magnanimous as well as demiour and grandeur especially at the middle of the tournament be

In those world cup, Pele only play fully in one and didn't win MVP or top scorer

I think he actually deserves all the accolades he's getting... Plus the humility around him is phenomenal.

Because of one free Kick scored from close range.
If it easy why Pendu never score freekick for the past two years

Reminder...Ronaldo won non. How about that? Let it sink in

Reminder again, Nine years in Spain, Ronaldo won the league just twice. 🫨😮😮 Messi, Six times during those Nine years that Ronaldo was there.

To show you how crazy that is, Lamine Yamal has won the league two times and he has not turned 18😮 (it took Ronaldo nine years despite playing for madrid🤣🤣)
Ronaldo won 5 UCL in 10 years while Varca won 5 UCL in 126 years 🤣🤣🤣

I'm not a football fan but just yesterday, Jose Morinho rated Messi the greatest footballer ever followed by Pele then Madonna. The report says that same Jose has coached Christiano Ronaldo in the past so if he rated Messi as the greatest footballer that ever lived, then he must know what he is saying.

Reborn Pelé and rename him as Yamal and let him play as he did during his 3 world cups era and watch the media hype him just as much or more since we now have social media unlike then.

Lols... we will be here, if eventually he doesn't win the tournament or get eliminated at any stage since he's bigger than the tournament.
It's a human being like you that wrote the article. Messi never at anytime claim to be bigger than anything. The guy doesn't have anything to prove again. Whether he lost or won, it doesn't matter. Messi will forever remain Messi.

Pele is the best footballer in the world!

Messi is second.

C. ronaldo is 3rd.

Maradona 2nd

The rest are Zindane, Delima ronaldo and ronaldinho.
As far as I'm concerned Messi is the best. Sorry but I only watched Pele through YouTube and didn't see anything he did that Messi haven't done better. my Opinion though.

Messi has scored one goal and played two matches in the tournament.

How is he now bigger than the tournament?

Oya make messi go carry World-cup back to back. Pele did it in 1958 and 1962 straight!

And make messi still carry world-cup three(3) times!

And remember that pele was crowned his first world cup in 1958 at the age of 17!

Scoring a free kick at 37 isn't rocket science.... It's just lots of practice.

Messi has scored lots of them in his heydays, so nothing special.

He's aged and and is semi retired.

But pele remains the greatest.
