1. Pele (3 world cups, 100 goals+ per season at a time . . . insane skill-set -- for clubs and country). 2. Maradona (Insane skill-set, single handedly carried an average Napoli and Argentina to multiple titles -- for clubs and country). 3. Zidane (Insane skill-set, Zidane will dictate his midfield and the opposition's like he's the '10' for both teams, he made Ronaldinho and an insanely talented Brazilian team look so ordinary -- for clubs and country). I find it hard to rate the top players we have today against guys like Maradona, Ronaldo O Fenomeno, Pele, Platini, Zidane, Van Basten, George Weah, etc. The older ones played against sick defenders . . . straight reds were almost non-existent, tackle from behind was normal, shoving, elbows, etc, . . . I don't see how players like Messi, Suarez, C.Ron, and other Prima Donnas would have coped with that successfully. P.S. The Balon d'Or was only awarded to European players until 1995 when non-European players could participate, and George Weah of Liberia did. Players like R9 and Zidane won the FIFA world's best player award 3 times each despite injuries. If you put a player like Jay Jay Okocha in any of the world cup winning teams, he'd easily be the best player in the world all day, everyday -- dude's got insane dribbling skills, passes, techniques, etc., he had players like Ronaldinho drooling to learn. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Jokerman:And without your biased mindset and jealousy coming to play, then and now, has football became tougher or was it more difficult then? and if we should dig up all their individual statistics, will u proudly say Pele is better? abeg, I don't argue with sentiments. Football is a game, and those that master how to play d game perfectly deserve some accolade. Messi does it better. cased closed. And stop deceiving people.. Pele never scored 127 goals in a football season. Messi holds d record for most goals scored in a season in the major leagues (50). Deal with it. Messi has the most goals in a calendar year (91goals) in 2012, beating Gerd Muller's 85 goals in 1972. #facts 3 Likes 1 Share |

u nid to learn fast, children of nowadays seeking cheap likes. Is Pele ur mate? Did anybody frm ur generation play when there was no yellow cards issued to defenders who were ready to injure Pele at will? Show me a player who has won 3 world cup finals, show me a player who has scored more than a thousand goals, show me a player who has achieved wat Pele had. Do u think wat they are playing today is football? Ask Puskas, Muller, Lineker, Platini, Baresi, Zoff what it means to be a footballer. PELE and DIEGO have no rivals 2 Likes |

GOAT : Maradona, Pele, Brazil Ronaldo Great: Messi and Ronaldo When Messi win a Copa America for Argentina then I will consider him a goat, when Ronaldo win the World cup then I will consider him a goat. Till then Messi or Ronaldo are the greatest player in my generation but not in all time. |
