If we're doing a post of the year competition then this is a legit contender for it.Stop trolling you are not good at it.
In 58 pele did better than garrincha, 62 is garrincha's WC. In 70 all the brazilians are great players with both jairz, pele being the best. Maradona single handedly dragged to 2 finals? that is also debatable.. In 90 arg played **** poor through out the entire WC, and maradona is kinda carrying a niggle and nearly not as effective as you think he is. As far as club career is considered maradona excelled at napoli, but its not like pele is just another player at santos his records are miles ahead of other players of his era at SA or europe.Got absolutely **** all to do with anything.
Pele's one of those players who people recall with misty-eyed nostalgia, to the point where the legend overshadows the reality. It's debatable whether Pele was even Brazil's greatest World Cup player: 1958 and 62 we had Garrincha, 70 we had Jairzinho, my generation has Ronaldo. Garrincha and Ronaldo IMO certainly have a case to the claim of greatest Brazilian World Cup player. Compare that to Maradona, who single-handedly dragged Argentina to not one, but 2 finals, and won Scudettos and European trophies at Napoli.
Goals scored against minnows don't count.FTR I can't believe Archie Thompson hasn't been mentioned here. Scored 13 in one international game ffs.
Srizza was talking about Archie if he was a cricketer ftr.Pretty sure Burgey was being sarcastic
Archie's awesome though.
Go Melb Victory
