TheSuperNerd: You mean because they had a leg breaker in the field Pele and Maradona were better footballers? Talking of leg breaks Shaw cross, De Jong, Pepe have had their fair share |

Like I already said... The likes of Shawcross, De Jong and all are Choir boys compared to the die hard walled defenders of the 60s, 70s and the 80s. Go research on the meanness of the Serie A back in the 60s, 70s and 80s and you will understand better. Pele faced those guys. So did Maradona. Absolutely mean and die hard compared to the more technical defenders you find today in Serie A and in world football. Eartquake1: 1 Like 1 Share |

Yes indeed. Adli is indeed special. Just a matter of time before he truly explodes. The french got this wickedly deep quality pool that won't run dry for a long time. Let me also add that Adli wan resemble Rabiot small. Lol... Tall, Lanky, and gets forward very well. charlesemeka85: 2 Likes |

Eartquake1:Modern football is tactically demanding but physically the kind of rough play Pele and down to Maradona endured, many players in this age are bubbles. Football is almost becoming a no contact sport. Your last sentence is true in reverse. 1 Like |

Certitude:Like Truidstar said old football had a lot of rugby tackles which the players of today are protected from. Football is almost becoming a no contact sports. Read about Andoni Goikoetxea Olaskoaga popularly known as the 'butcher of bilbao' On 24 September 1983, Goikoetxea achieved notoriety for a foul on Diego Maradona described as "one of the most brutal fouls ever delivered in the history of Spanish football"[4] in a league match at the Camp Nou, taking out the Argentine from behind and breaking his ankle.[4] Maradona compared the sound he heard to that of wood breaking[5] and, in the aftermath, English journalist Edward Owen coined the phrase "Butcher of Bilbao" to describe Goikotxea,[4][5] a nickname which remained attached him for the rest of his career.

Mujtahida: Guy , I disagree with the notion that I am the most attacked moniker here, after borough Southgate. You could say the most misunderstood but I am not controversial. Nigerian kome-gini ? If you say I am anything like that guy then you are being disingenuous. I am not deceptive, bias , manipulative nor hateful. You may accuse me of high handedness but I dont operate on ulterior motive. I am a pan Africanist and you are comparing me to a disloyal , dishonest and a disgraceful element who dances naked in the market place without bating an eyelid. Oga, I know you want to take shots at me for somethings I probably said in the past that rubbed you the wrong way but do it in a clean way....comparing me to that walking contradiction of a man without integrity is very disrespectful. There are no basis for comparisons here...he believe English players and their league is the best and want to replace Super Eagles players with borough boys while I am a staunch supporter of our local league and want us to develop and draw players from there. I don't like our players wandering Europe looking for peanuts,neither do I want any Nigerian born to play in England. So , where are the commonalities in our ideologies ? He is not even a white person , just a confused white man's aassslicker. 1 Like |

TheGoodJoe:The difficulty in the modern game is in terms of mental stamina, tactical approach and the infusion of science. But in terms of physicality (not pace but rough rugged play) and abundance of skills old football trumps trumps modern football. |

TheSuperNerd:I think it's not ideal comparing footballers across generations, the metric for comparison are always different example is Pele/Maradona played when few non-Europeans played in Europe, number of participants in a world cup were 24 or less. Even rules of the game were very different. I can bet in about 30/40yrs from now we will have another great player and people who didn't watch Messi/CR7 will say the same thing they are saying about Pele and Maradona 1 Like 1 Share |
