Ogbeni what skills does Messi has other than 1 dimensional dribbles (though very effective).??
What do you need football skills 4 as a Forward??... To beat a defender.... If i must tell u, Messi's skills are his Speed, Agility, acceleration, dribbling etc... Do u think all players av these??
I guess wat u mean are 'TRICKS'
Messi doesn't need Tricks like Step overs, flip flap etc to beat a player as his skills are enough to do that for him...




PS-Messi does have a trick.... Have u heard of body feints?
Google 'body feints' and u'll see it's all about Messi

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 .


Their leagues weren't competitive, really? Wow. How many people in his era scored that many goals? He's been celebrated for decades as the greatest, I guess you know more than FIFA.

It's like assuming that bill gates is smarter than Albert Einstein

Look at your heat map, so ronaldo spent 90 Minutes in the oppositions penalty areas and don't touch the ball in midfield, didn't drop back to defend corners or anything of that sort?

This proves you're the simpleton between us

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.
Im a big messi fan but you are really trying to downplay these guys achievements in a bid to uplift messi. Maradona took a mid table napoli in the toughest league in the world(then) to domestic and european glory.Same with argentina world cup exploits.i doubt messi can do that.
When it comes to something as subjective as the greatest of all time,people are never going to agree but we can agree that pele, maradona, messi are all the best players of their generation.

which one is good life. George best is even more heard of that the gaarincha. Best is a utd legend. Tyson had a bad life and is still among the best boxers of all time.

And again is it only Pele and gaarincha that played. Call the other better players na

He's not overrated, people that played football with him have confessed to his greatness , you're here trying to belittle him, it's sadenning. Give honor to whom honor is due.


We need to quit this pull them down syndrome, your disposition reminds me of the divide that thinks Game of Thrones is trash and the others that claim iphones are crap and overrated.

I respect your opinion but I think you're wrong bro

Has Zico scored 91 goals in a calendar year

Win the best player in the word 5 times ?

Golden shoe 5 times

Does he have a private jet

Messi is the best player in whole wide world

If Zico doesn’t like that he should go and drink sniper





Nigerians read, WORLDCUP, With xavi, Ronaldinho, deco, ineista you can score 94 in La Liga, mind you, before you talk, those 3 won something for their country, at least 3 trophies, deco was in the golden generation of Portugal, HE MENTIONED WORLDCUP, NATIONSCUP, he won nothing, because no xavi or iniesta or Ronaldinho lol.....
