C.Ronaldo is better.

Diego M was.

Cantonna too, probably.

And remember Tony Yeboah anybody? F#ck me, that boy could score.

And Steven Fletcher has only started really?

Overrated imo-people have a romantic vision of Brazil in the 70's in the WC. Probably due to the lack of live fitba in those days. Plus he played in a team of superstars,he just shone the brightest.

He'd have got a game for Hibs though.

I have landed in a bad dream where suddenly it is natural and normal to think Pele was not as good as people say and is in the shadow of some pretty boy from Portugal...

Beam me up Scotty

Aye-he cant act as well.

**beefy** · 14-04-08, 00:22

How can you say that! If it wisnae for Pele(and Rocky) the Allies would never have defeated the Hun.

The goal was NEVER offside!!

Tell this modern society otherwise SKII. Link us to Pele on YouTube. The previous played for Brazil and the latter idn't play for Germny for our younger readers.

If Pele was about today he’d be a superstar, maybe not the best of them.

If pretty boy was around when Pele was he would not be the superstar he is.

… and if Ronaldo was about then he’d probably be the first man in space! One thing Pele could do, most of the time, was stay out of trouble. Some of the tackles in these days!!!

Pele was sh1te. He only scored 703 competitive goals in his career and he played in 761 competitive matches so the question is WTF was he doing in the 58 games he played in and never scored. Lazy b@st@rd in my opinion

Aye, and Lawrie Reilly was a poor mans Tam McManus. Seriously dude, you've got to have been bevvied when you wrote this.

Cantona was a great player for Man Utd and Leeds. In England. He was posted missing in Europe with absolutely astonishing regularity. He was dropped from the French national team as they became the best side in the world.

Christiano Ronaldo isn't even the best Ronaldo of the last couple of decades. If he ends up scoring 40 goals this season, he'll only have to do that for about the next 20 years every single season to come close to scoring as many goals as Pele.

Maradona is the only player who has ever existed who has came close to Pele.

Or alternatively Pele is the only player who has ever come close to Maradona and George Best.

And as for elevating the world's greatest pretty boy Manc to the highest rung on the football ladder, maybe (Cam) you should watch some old videos of Holland in the 1970s.

Not only would C Ronaldo be way below the sublime artistry of Johan Cruyff in the World's Greatest Ever stakes, he wouldn't even be above the incomparable midfield genius that was the great Johannes Jacobus Neeskens.
