Pele is the greatest player ever period... and not because he has 3 world cups only. He was the heart of the team ... the one that the opposing team be scratching their heads to devise plans and strategies to contain him.... the one who creates havoc for the opposing team ... the crafty super talented one with a whole bag of tricks.... the one who his team is reduced to just another competitive team if he is not included ... the one that made changes to the game... the one that inspired others who copied sooo many of his moves. Which other player is so talented ... creative and brought new moves to the sport? Messi? ... Maradona? ... Ronaldo? The greatest is more than number of cups. Michael Jordan has rings ... Robert Horry has 7 ... Bill Russell has 11 .... so why is Michael Jordan considered the greatest? Simple... the impact he has on the sport. What record does Tiger Wood have?... but yet considered the greatest... why? Pele is the greatest ... fact.

Niwdog:
Absolutely balderdash

Heffalump:
When I see Messi fans jubilating with all manner of fantasy, calling him GOAT with so much adulation and encomiums, as if he single handedly won the world cup for Argentina, I concluded that these people are myopic and jobless. Afterall, one shishi will not enter your pocket out of the millions in Messi's account. Some even went ahead to drag CR7, who is far richer than Messi as if they're doing Messi a great honor and favor.

When I see these people, I just laugh. The actual football GOAT is no one but the indomitable "KING PELE", not Ronaldo or Messi.

adamusuleiman1:
100 percent in agreement.
Pele led Brazil to a world Cup victory at the age of 17.

Masterviolence:

Ok sighted
We're talking about a general role as a player.
And Messi is far from Ronaldo in that, Ronaldo do not come close.
Talking about a striker: Lionel Messi is more of a play Maker than a striker because he controls the game. So his position most of the time is the midfield, and a player like that is supposed to have high number of assist than goals, but he's competing with the best strikers in the world in terms of goals.

Ronaldo Ronaldo that you people are talking about as the highest goal scorer is just 26 goals ahead of Messi who's closing in faster than Ronaldo can score.
And Ronaldo has played 142 more games than Messi.

Before you push me into the GOAT DEBATE your ewu's world cup should be on the table

Masterito:
See how Messi struggled to get one world cup and what it meant to him. Now imagine someone won 3 of the same cup.

iykofias:
because they won abi, and you all were saying Messi won’t win anything with his national team, all of a sudden they have the best team

Sagamite:


Foolish statement by a non-analytical brain!

I don't know where it is written that Pele won any WC.

I know of places where it is written that Brazil (with its team) has won WC, but no where Pele, Maradona or Messi have won it.

Teams win Cups!

Oliseh obviously lacks an analytical brain. He is probably a doer and needs to be told what to implement. He is not supposed to be a member of the thinking department.

In his stupid mind, Cafu, Garrincha and Zagallo are the second greatest players ever "because they won 2 WCs".

Using team statistics to assess individual performance is height of stupidity.

All German players in 1990 were greater players than him because "they won WC"?

Foolishness always astonish me!

And they wonder why they struggle to get thinking jobs.

Sagamite:


Baboon, so where in Science, Innovation, Technology and Development are you Black monkeys G.O.A.Ts?

Your dumb ass is fighting yourself, thinking you are fighting whites, in areas that don't make much difference in your life.

Na zoo you suppose dey make white people come dey look you jump and run with pride.

TastyFriedPussy:
Ok because messi don win World cup now, it's no longer messi vs Pendu? Pendu fans don turn am to messi vs Pele? chai!!! All these Pendu fans sef always trying to discredit messi

blueAgent:
Rubbish, win 3 World cups with a star studded team.
When world cup was less competitive, Brazil and a few countries dominated it.
This generation a young Pele with this Brazilian squad would not get to 2 semi finals talkless of carrying 3 world cup.

Most blacks are sympathetic towards Pele been the GOAT

Uchesis:

Pele was a local champion. He never played in Europe. That's not the kind of GOAT we want abeg. Maradona tried at least he played at Napoli

Sweetplum:

His cups are in his museum.
Leave my Ronaldo alone

ValCon888:
There can't be a greatest of all time. Only greatest of a generation.

Shikena:

Pele ruled the world 3 times, Europe inclusive. At 17, he ruled the world like a colossus right inside Europe

jeromestarks:
if you want to make it in 2023, leave this G.O.A.T argument behind.


If you want to prosper in 2023, do not give any girl who isn't you family money except it's exchange for sex.


If you want your life to be better in 2023, don't date a single mother. They are operating under a different level of curse.


If you want to finish 2023 in praise, do not commit to a girl you did not disvirgin. Just fvck and pass her to the others when you're tired.


If you want to be happy in 2023, do not try to impress any body. Do what pleases you and you alone.

Finally, if you want the future of your children to be safe after 2023, Do NOT vote Atiku.

ThierryJay:


See this hypocrite Oliseh. Just last week he was still calling Pendu GOAT when Morocco bundled him out. When he's now seen Messi has won the trophy he suddenly remembers Pele. The guy is just a fickle loudmouth.

AImiron:
mumu how far, I thought Pendu use to be ewure why you no include his name lmao

yinkeys:

I can guarantee that the World Cup wasn’t competitive back then

FlawlessKarl:





Wining world cup in the era of Pele was more easier than now, Messi era is a complete different era In football only the strong survive.

maestroferddi:
So it means the football age you were using to play is false because going by your so-called DOB, there is no way you could have seen Pele play to be able to make a judgement...
