When you write stuff like this you only show your ignorance

Pele was the first to dribble from his own box and score which went round the world

If I ask you to tell me about R9 similar goal against Compostela, can you?

Do you know of Saeed Al Owairan goal for Saudi Arabia against Belgium in 1994 where he dribbled the whole pitch, or do you know of George Weahs own?

Only speak within your breadth of knowledge and what your generation shares on Social Media, don't assume we didn't see things that our TVs popularised before social media

I prefer the way Iniesta played and he was better in some aspects of the game, but Zidane impacted more games than Iniesta did. So, Zidane.

CAPdan21:

Show the number of goals he scored with each foot or accept you're saying nonsense...Maybe Wikipedia can help you

Phraser:


Bla, bla, bla. More condescension from someone who thinks you do not know football if you are not 150 years old. I'm a Barça fan, and you think I wouldn't know of R9's goal?

But that's not the point. The question is: which of Pele's goals remains a part of modern-day pop culture, just like Maradona's solo run against England or Zidane's volley against Bayer Leverkusen?

No one cares if he was the first to dribble on the moon. We are talking about his greatness/legacy/popularity/impact. You say he has more than Messi. So which of his goals are instantly recognizable by many in pop culture today?

forgiveness:


Watch and count yourself.

Nah I'm not doing your work for you...Btw it says 320 goals there, where the rest of the 2000 goals your MCM scored...

Of course I’m thanking the creator for Messi’s triumphant at just concluded wc but because you are blinded by hate you couldn’t comprehend. Nor let hate kee you, take it easy on yourself.

If someone can be dragging with you 60 years later, just know he is eternal

Give it ten years, all the euphoria will be gone and they will be putting Messi in his proper position, assessing his contributions clinically in relation to others

When Iniesta was winning WC and Euros, he was the greatest AM ever according to the euphoria of the day, just 5 years later he was being dragged for Modric and others

Messi that won just last week with high in-game emotions is dragging with Pele. What of 60 years from now when no one gives a fúck about the minute details of the game. Pele is eternal

You are a clown if you think Peeps won't talk about Messi in the next 60years.

Guy rest you're in pains but disguising, the reason people still troll Iniesta is because he was not all about stat deep you know INi is clear..That said,you can't use that metric against Messi he has written his name on FIFA'S book,his resúmé surpasses Pkele He has more goal for a single club and is even about to obliterate Pkele's pitiful 7 balon d or.


Messi has more personal achievements or you think peeps won't talk about that?So they won't talk about 92 goals in a calendar year?They won't talk about 2 golden ball?They won't talk about being the best player of all the NT trophies he won?No yawa i will revisit you once Messi wins his 8th balon d Or.. then God's willing, in the next 5years i will still check up on you meanwhile.

Peles header against Italy, his round the keeper move in that final, Gordon Banks save from Pele header and Brazil's team goal against Italy for which Pele provided the assist and is lauded as the greatest team goal ever

Like I said the more you talk, the more you expose your myopia and ignorance and what your social media algorithms feed you

I named some goals I have seen a few times on a par with Messi goal against Getafe. I have only seen that goal against Getafe maybe twice. One of them was even forced on me by a gif Airmark posted here. Talk about your algorithms that occur to you Messi dicksúckers that go looking for that shyt, it has never appeared on my feed. But I go looking for the goals I mentioned. When World Cup is starting this Italy team goal is always played over here in UK, nobody is playing Getafe goal on my TV, never seen it on TV. Super sports should do better in Africa with historical reviews when World Cup is about to start so some clown won't tell me about Getafe goal, when I've seen the goal below on my TV dozens of times.

This Pele header in 1979 WC final is more iconic than any of Messi goals. This is what they shown my TV. What have they shown for Messi in World Cup, a man who had no World Cup history?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPzNStFGgno


Then you have the Pele round the world miss. Miss that is more iconic than any goal they have ever showed for Messi when World Cup is starting. I guess they can now show the tapin against France going forward.

Santi Carzola is ambidextrous, i bet he is better than zidane.

donstan18:

Ok, I want to troll him against Ronaldo with UCL success.

You got what? Number of trophies? Goals in finals? Knockout goals? What exactly? UCL with different clubs? UCL without Busquet? 8-2 Bayern? Getting mudded and outplayed by Mbappe each time they meet?

Infact! I no value National trophies again, can we see Ronaldo vs Messi stats in the highest club trophy ever??

Phraser:


You didn't watch Pele play live, neither did you see him play in many games. What you rely on are "many Pele documentaries" and statistics (which is hardly a reliable way of gauging a footballer's ability), meaning you have no true first-hand empirical knowledge about his ability, and yet you are fully convinced he is the greatest footballer of all time?

Doesn't seem like sound reasoning to me. (At any rate, you are in the minority. Most people choose Messi).

That aside, you said all the "euphoria" around Messi would die down in ten years time. I don't think any right-minded person believes that. Have you seen the man's digital footprint and cultural influence?

If anything, it's Pele's legacy that's at stake—maybe that's why he keeps tinkering with his records on his Instagram page, aware that the world is moving on. The likes of Messi and CR7 were lucky to have played in the social media era, and there are billions of clips of them online, unlike Pele whose legacy is solely hinged on word of mouth. 50 more years or so and no one would bother about a player that played in the black-and-white era.

Seems to me like Pele was your football hero growing up and you are stubbornly clinging to the past, because I have read your comments on this thread and have not seen any good arguments from you to back up your claims.

Haven't you noticed that there are some people who are not man enough to have their own minds and stay on a lane. Anything Ibeme points at, they follow. If Ibeme says Yakubu is better than Messi, they'll asslick him immediately.

Bimmarlykay:


Ibeme can't be above 50, hence he never watched Pele play only clips which mostly tells good side of a story. No disrespect to Pele, i watched few clips of him and trust me Pele was the originator most of the skills we see today Pele did.But as it stands now Messi is the new Pele believe me you.
