obonujoker:Messi is a center forward, winger and playmaker all in one (he plays these roles exceptionally well!), yet he's 'one-dimensional' and just an 'effective dribbler', huh? How d'you people even think? Please bro, DO NOT mention me on this issue anymore. You have no sound, objective discuss to offer. 3 Likes |

Lucid1: Brazil was like the US ARMY of world football. South America as a nation was financially and physically vibrant back then. Nobody gave any fuvk about club football like they adorn the world Cup like it's the coming of Christ. Football grew harder and stranger over the years in all that Messi still thrives. Argentina football has been a mess, entire South America is now a mess. Now no matter how strong Brazil national team seem they'll not go far at international level. Yes I watched a video of Pele play back then it wasn't much of a big deal cos nobody really gives attention to Club football as they did today 1 Like |

Re: Zico: "Lionel Messi Can't Be Compared To Maradona Or Pele" by Icon79(m): 7:37pm On Jan 03, 2019 |
Cristiano Ronaldo shouldn't even be in the conversation. In the modern game, the best players in the world play in the #10 role - Leo Messi, Diego Maradona, Zinadine Zidane, Ronaldihno, etc etc. Your #10 is like your quarter back in America football. Hence, comparing Cristiano Ronaldo with Leo Messi is like comparing a wide receiver with a quarter back - silly comparison! O pari DREAMZZZ: |

Lucid1:lolx ..I didn't watch Pele , but that dude is overrated . Make I tell u y The first WC Pele won he was still a kid then , he wasn't the best player in the team sef. The second WC he won he just played the group stages and got injured , gaarincha practically won them the WC The third WC I heard Brazil had lots and lots of WC players like rivellino and the rest . Pele is really lucky he won three WC ,not becos he's good but becos he had a really really good Brazilian team , this was when the Brazilian league was one of the best if not the best in the world then. That's y I always say he's overrated , he's good but overrated . I rate Messi , Ronaldo delima, maradona, Ronaldo ahead of him . Some of the old Brazilian locals in Brazil believes gaarincha was a better player than Pele but Pele was more recognised cos he had good antics , he was the kinda guy a lady would take home to meet her parents . But gaarincha was a drunkard , a womaniser , he slept with prostitutes and didn't train at times ...I have read a lot about the guy and watched some clips TV , dude was a freaking bad a*s dribbler . Imagine say pesn de show 2000's skills for 1955 u go fear na .....Pele with his 1000gols only few were in competitive tournaments . Ronaldo and Messi don De catch am for competitive gols . I de so sure say one of dem go break that golden record stuff . Cos he has like 750 official gols . 4 Likes |

messi is the greatest ever footballer that's why you will never hear Pele comparing himself to c-ronaldo , he only compare himself to messi, the only argument against messi is the world cup, and that he didn't achieve anything or win honour with his country but they have forgotten that the same person won under-20 world cup and Olympic gold medal, if you say Pele is greater than messi I can understand you a little but not any other |

GODPUNISHUNA:argentina has a very good squad, there was a time were by they had like 9 top attackers. There problem is not the players, they don't have the coach that can make these player gel together. Forlan a single player almost took Uruguay to the finals(with a good team work) |

Leave pele. He only had one great world cup. When he was 17. The other two were won for him. Plus his imaginary 1000 goals were score at Santos not even in a top European league an act witness only by him. Maradona got send off in his first world cup..but was explosive in the next and won it. Got to the final in his third. Got sign to bacelona could not play. Was chip to napoli..we're he won a miserable single league title plus one European cup. In case of Messi you are a witness to his achievements. He may not have won the world cup, but he has come mightily close. Same with the Copa america. But as for club football and personal honors he is way ahead of those two. Plus he can play football. So in judging we should not use one particular standard. Rather notice , that were one excel the other failed. Maybe Just simply a case of faith. Aside anyone who has ever played football, looking at how that boy played football, neat, controversy free and humble and still thinks he has not earn the right to be compared to the all time great is not a football lover. 1 Like 1 Share |
