We didn't actually see Pele play and so they might have deceived us he was good, maybe not. I quite agree with others but Ronaldo De Lima was an exceptional talent. He should have been higher up than that.

Deckline:
Useless list.

CR7 over messi anytime.

BBC that is mad! They forgot to put my home boy Ronaldinho.
And they are putting Zidane

These people are like APC!!

nice BT based on their opinions....I think messi is supposed to be ontop of that list because to me he is ahead of pele..
his only fault was not winning a trophy with his country but even if he did, they would still find another way to criticize him and pls dt doesn't take anything away from our GOAT because no player came close to the agentine alien when he was at his peak days in europe not even Pele or cr7 because th media ran out of words to define him going by the countless magical nights he gave us each matchdays..
he made playing football look easy, made dribbling look like he is in his garden n made scoring goals asif its PS game, the awards and numbers he did shattered the records book and NO player in this generation can reach dt mark in Spain or in Europe....YES I SAID SO...

Nbotee:
CR7 fanboys go soon com explain how INEC and UEFA rigged the polls in favour of Messi

obonujoker:


Would Messi have been able to survive during Pele's time with racism??

dallex10:
Messi should be on #1

Pele #2 then our wonderfool Penaldo should be given the #4 position after Maradona

The list is not complete. I have not seen the likes of Gabriel Batistuta, George Campus, George Wear, J J Okocha.

Obviously this is totally impossible because of the many changes that have occurred in football.

Some of these people played during an era when you were allowed to kill your opponent on the field while others are playing in an era when the tackle from behind is illegal and there is VAR. The balls and boots have changed and there is now an off side law (it didn't exist when some of these people were playing).

Furthermore, there are people who would select one of Garrincha, Beckenbauer, Zico, Careca or Ronaldinho as the best player that ever played the game.

However, my choice is still Pele.
