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


being overrated doesn't mean u ain't good , like when Ronaldo is compared to Messi , I think that's a lil bit much for him . Pele when compared to Messi is overrated . It shouldn't be cos he won the WC . Was he really better than Messi skill wise ? Nope he wasn't , he was evn evn than maradona.

Forget all these old folks, they simply don't want to discredit their foot ball era.

Skill? What skill? Ability to dribble? Hahahahaha. Pele was good , possibly better than Messi. One thing is certain: they were/are the best in their era.

grin

Raw tribalism in football is alive and well...Let me join in too... cheesy

How can anyone describe Zico as "this one" because of his (admittedly harsh) comments about Messi? grin

But Zico has a point. In an era where clubs are richer than some countries, the World Cup (despite FIFA's many failings) seems to be the only place where the big superstars can be brought down to earth. You might be the World's best player in the richest league but if you haven't won the world cup, then there's something missing...
Tor!
This is more so because the very great players literally put other players on their back and drag them to win WC together.

Pele showed it, Maradonna did, Ronaldo da Lima did and so were Zidane & Beckenbauer. Players who individually clearly made a massive difference to their team's fortune.

That is what made France world Cup win in Russia 2018 more of a collective effort. They had very good players, though not in the mold of Zidane (Mbappe might still achieve that) but all performed near their best and gelled together in that tournament: Griezmann, Pogba, Mbappe, Varane, etc. Similar to 2014 WC winning German team.

GOATs
1 Messi
2 Maradona
3 Pele
any other goat is a counterfeit. argue with your data and destiny
at least Zico himself didn't mention somebody �
for Penaldo fans bringing him to this discussion he's no where near those greats up there argue with your grandpa at home
Re: Zico: "Lionel Messi Can't Be Compared To Maradona Or Pele" by Whazar(m): 7:30am On Jan 04, 2019
it would be an insult to compare Pele or Maradona with Penaldo but those guys compare Messi (GOAT) With themselves. INSIDE LIFE

STILESGANG:
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.

I am down playing there achievements on purpose. Thank God you notice. You also notice they were down playing Messi achievements. The boy has Done great things while keeping his head down at all times. That should count for something. He has not won the world cup! He has not won any major honors for country. so I ask what did Maradona really win for club compare to messi. Why don't we just scrap club footballs since it's irrelevant compared to country.

Oga how can someone whom his fans call the G.O.A.T not win any international trophy... Your goat is another Giggs.....

Why didn't your GOAT win 5 world best? Who set the criteria for GOAT and included international trophy? Even if it will be a part, it's won't definitely be the only criteria.

The best student in class does not need to be the best in all subjects, he only needs to be the best in most subjects.
