@Pele again hahahaha, in that 1000 goals you must know that Pele included goals he scored in Sunday league games playing against family and friends. In simple words some of Pele's goals were not scored in official games about 300+ of his goals were against family and friends. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Pele was voted the greatest footballer of the last century by FIFA in 1999.Those who doubt Pele's achievements as the greatest have a very poor sense of history. Before 1958,Brazil had never won the World Cup.In Sweden '58,one 17-yr old guy took the world by storm,even scored in the final-Mbape would do it 60 years later-as Brazil won her first mundial. Four yrs later ,in Chile'62,Brazil won the World Cup again because Pele was part of the team.However,in England'66, in the course of the competition, Pele was injured and England won it. Like a re-energized bull,in Mexico'70, Brazil blew everyone apart to lift the World Cup for the third time.That Brazilian team has been described by FIFA as the greatest World Cup side ever.Pele scored a very difficult header against a very strong Italian team in the final. They thrashed Italy 4-1.The world would wait for 60 yrs to have a semblance of that kind of score line,as France dispatched Croatia 4-2 in Russia 2018. So,Pele set himself in the stars as the finest footballer of the last century. A 3-time World Cup winner. Brazil would wait 24 yrs before the could lift it again in USA '94. In all these, one cannot doubt the credentials of Pele as a sporting icon.Messi is a great in his own right and generation,but Pele's achievements span generations. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

gurunlocker: My brother I wonder how Messi will now do the corner kick and still use his head to score or be the playmaker from outside the box in open play and still be in the box sametime waiting on a crossed ball to nod in. Pele just lost some of my respect for him saying all this unnecessary trash. Even if he thinks Messi can't be compared to him, he should not start running his mouth like he's pained. Great people let others argue on their behalf and not the other way round. Why haven't Messi come out to say players like Hazard, Mo Salah, Modric etc should not be compared to him cos he's better than them. I think deep down the old man's heart there's a burning envy for Messi cos he's simply the best of all times. Period! 1 Like 1 Share |

These days the game favours the striker so one would expect even better from strikers When Pele played there was no back pass rule. So defenders could pass the ball to the goal keeper and the keepers could pick it up with their hands. These days that is not allowed. Someone said there was no offside rule when Pele played but that is wrong too in fact the offside rule has again been modified to favour attackers so the issue of an offside player who is not interfering with play not counting as offside is a new thing which favours the offensive player In 1990 denial of an obvious goal scoring opportunity became a red card offence In those days you rarely saw anyone sent off for a single tackle not to talk of handball as in the case of Uruguay Ghana You never saw goalkeepers sent off for denying goal scoring opportunities it was also in 1990 that the offside law changed to allow an inline attacker to be onside previously he had to be behind to be onside if inline with the defender then that was considered offside Take some time to think of the implications of this for a striker's goal tally each season. Previously to be onside the striker must be closer to his own goal that the last player NOT on the same line 1n 1998 fierce tackle from behind became a red card offence This allows Messi to look good but in Maradona's time he would have been hacked down routinely In that era many players lost their careers due to the brutality of the defenders and poor protection from refereees. Pele was brutalized in the 1966 World Cup FIFA mad a lot of changes with the purpose of increasing scoring and giving the game greater appeal especially in the US The actual football is different. In those days it was made of real LEATHER which meant that during a game the ball could increase in weight by absorbing water if it was raining or wet With the introduction of VAR one would question whether we are comparing the same thing but for me who witnessed the introduction of the back pass rule I thing it made a huge difference. I also think defenders are better protected and more red cards are issued Overall the game has changed so much to favour attackers and make them look better and any comparison must take account of those changes which are not trivial I have seen Messi play and Maradona so that is an easier comparison. For Pele there really is not enough TV footage to make a fair comparison and we can only go on the accounts of those who were old enough to have watched him play It is also important to pay credit to other greats of Pele's era namely George Best and Eusebio. Those were truly great players from all accounts. I think Messi's story will always be marred by his World Cup lack of success. It is not as if he plays for Chad or Greece. The real comparison that should be made is between Maradona and Messi. Those old enough to remember know that Maradona was without doubt the greatest player of HIS era and was a leader. That leadership is what gives him the edge over Messi. He also played at a time when back pass was allowed. He also suffered very brutal attacks from defenders which modern attackers do not face . His performance in the World cup of 1990 is unforgettable for those old enough to remember.Argentina got to the Final off his back and for me he was a better all round better player 4 Likes 1 Share |

Pele Is Right,messi Is Not A Complete Player By The Virtue Of His Development And Even He Has Not Made The List Of Legends, Pele Played Football During The Crude Era. Won World Cup For His Country @ 17,the Greatest Achievement Of Every Legend Lies With His Country And Not Club. Pele Achievement Isn't About His Football Club But His Country. In Your Lifes Don't Ever And Ever Compare Messi With Pele,messi Is Barca Legend As Far As Goals And Stainless Trophies Is Concerned. Pele Will Continue To Be A Legend,so Skillful To The Extent That The Ball Does Not Touch The Ground Called Jinga Style.

Take a look at this clip in 1992 before the back pass rule https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SX2HcvMkOiA It was not that long ago The rule makes a huge difference and favours the strike |
