Yes o!

If they could wipe out Pelé's legacy from history, they would, because:

The G.O.A.T in soccer is black.

The G.O.A.T in Basketball is black.

The G.O.A.T in athletics is black.

The G.O.A.T in women's tennis is black.

The G.O.A.T in golf (one of the "whitest" sports) is BLACK!!

They can't stand it, so they start handing useless Ballons D'Or to White guys and stoopid Africans start salivating.

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

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.

Indispensable85:



Argentina have one of the best star studded team for the past 12yrs.

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

And this yeye man say he be footballer?
Make dey check individual performance and achievement, and tell us who be the overall best.

mumu elderly man. when pele was winning 3 world cup where were you ?

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 6 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.

Amalekki:
In other words, someone won 3 world cup titles so the one that managed to finally win just one can't be the greatest

The funny thing is this same Sunday Oliseh called Ronaldo the GOAT just before Portugal Match up with Morocco! Why the about-face when Messi delivered the World Cup some days later?

Why suddenly go wake up Pele? Was he suffering from Dementia when he said CR7 was the GOAT?

Jokerman:
Person win 3 World cups... we no hear noise pollution...

Where you dey then?

Segzy19:
All the people abusing Oliseh are indomie kids...
The earliest worldcup they really watched was korea-Japan 2022 ….. If they watched France 98, they probably were toddlers then..

Oliseh has spoken with facts....

Abegi! I watched Oliseh in 1998 and I disagree with him. Even he did not watch Pele play. What he knows about Pele na wetin Westerhof tell am for training camp.
That said it is gratifying to see hurt CR7 fans remember that Pele played and won 3 WC. So overnight CR7 is no longer in th GOAT conversation? Wetin happen

It’s so beautiful to see.

So you wey no play football or old pass Oliseh, na you come sabi football pass Oliseh abi...
Oliseh is an authority on football matters not you.

azpekuliar:


Even Oliseh did not watch Pele play. Glad to see hurt CR7 fans remembering that Pele played It’s beautiful to watch.

That's for him to explain.

At least he finally embraced fact. 3 world cups make Pele the greatest.

Bentonite1:





Keep quiet. even in Argentina, Messi second after Maradona, don't even talk about worldwide. You think it's by scoring 5 penalties in 7 goals? lol even MBAPPE who was better and will always be knows it

Shut up right there

Uchesis:
Pele never won the champions league. Messi is the GOAT abeg

Indomie generation, champions league during Pele era?

Segzy19:
So you wey no play football or old pass Oliseh, na you come sabi football pass Oliseh abi...

The internet is a great equalizer. I repeat nothing wey im know about Pele wey me and you no know. He is talking from a point of envy.

'He Won 3 World Cups': Brazil's Pele Remains The Greatest Player Ever – Sunday Oliseh



https://www.instagram.com/p/CmYusF_NOOm/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Haters plenty for Naija sha

Oliseh made a very valid point. Don't compare Messi with Pele. Pele lifted 3 world cups before he was 30 years old! Messi got his first world cup at 37. To me it's a crime to compare CR7 and Messi to King Pele

iykofias:
Pele had some unaccounted goals because he played in so many exhibitions/tour matches around the world against amateur players that can be best described as ‘farmers’.
Yes, he won three World Cup, but that Brazilian team was filled with super talents, he sat out the large majority of the 1962 World Cup. something you can’t say about that Maradona or Messi team.

Pele played at a time when the ball was heavier, when two-footed tackles were still very much in vogue, and the chances of ending up in an orthopedic ward after a match was fairly high. The era of the hard man - you know, miss the ball but not the man

Hell, Pele is the G.O.A.T

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.

When an urchins far away in black zoo nation getting heart attack because they crowned GOAT, FOR HIS IMMENSE CONTRIBUTIONS FOR SOCCER, , I see lunatic going to grave faster than expectations.

Amalekki:

That's for him to explain.

At least he finally embraced fact. 3 world cups make Pele the greatest.

Of course.

It is an opinion. His opinion. No one can begrudge him of that.

Sorry , but Pele is greater than Messi or Ronaldo

Even if you discountenance all his achievements the fact is, 17 year olds don't score goals in a world cup final...let alone two goals.

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...

MiaBeer:
Shut up right there

CRY MORE.

And your PELE WON IT ALONE FOR YOUR BRAZIL ABI.

Indomie generation, champions league during Pele era?

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

I think people should start thinking properly, WC is a collective prize won by a team, what we mean by GOAT is the impact the player has have on the game, people around him and overall winning everything football has to offer. There is only one person that have done that and his name is ........... complete the blank space











AlmightyMod is here

Sunday Oliseh is confused.

First how many nations were competing for world cup during the era of Pele. It was easier then to win world cup due to the small number of countries competing then.

Two, there was nothing Pele won that Messi had not won, unless we speak of things Messi had won which Pele win. To be fair to Pele, most of these things were not in existence then.

Three, in the modern day football, Messi had won everything. Everything you could think of. Leo has nothing else to win.

Based on this my submission, may the whole court rise for the Greatest Player of All Time, far above that of Pele or Maradona - the name of the wizard is Lionel Andreas Messi

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.

Pele wouldn't have been able to win three world cups if he were playing today...

For the fact he was not tried in Europe leaves a very important box unchecked in his resume...

If a human can perform as Messi did on Sunday and indeed all through their matches in Qatar, that human is the GOAT...

Na only for naija una dey make yeye argument, elsewhere Messi has been declared the GOAT by almost all knowledgeable sportspeople...

Why Pele remains the greatest footballer of all time

...Pele was in his prime between 1958–1970. Football was different then. The ball was considerably heavier compared to today. The quality of the pitches and clothing was nowhere near as advanced as today. Two other factors were important. Offside laws were more stringent during his time. More importantly, red and yellow cards were only introduced in the 1970 World Cup! Liberal hacking of forwards was the norm during Pele’s career. The disgusting fouls he received against Portugal in the 1966 World Cup which caused him to hobble through most of the match, as substitutions were not allowed at that time, is one of football’s ugliest scenes. The conditions were different and even difficult compared to today.

Another unjust and inaccurate allegation is that Pele’s goals were mostly scored in “friendlies”. We need to understand that football was different then and friendlies had meaning. Indeed, Santos FC have put out a statement saying that these supposed friendlies were official matches.

Few dieticians back then.
Fewer physios.
No Analytics to show how to dominate or work the field.
People ask why Pele did not play in Europe, forgetting just how rampant racism was across the continent.
Pele was the GOAT - no arguments

P.S - You can count on the Nintendo/Indomie generation to think otherwise.

How many UCL and Balon dor Pele get?

Sweetplum:

CR7 is a better striker than Messi.
Soon, we ll vote who's the best in the last 100 years. No be say everyone hate Messi. Where he's good we v acknowledge. Where FIFA helped him, we v talked too.
Meanwhile, you are quoting a woman not male

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

We are just two
