RIP Pele BUT

[army88]

Was he that good? Genuine question. I have not seen a lot of him at all. Was he overhyped or was he really that good? Better than Maradona or Messi? It's easy for people to jump on the Pele bandwagon at such a sad time so just curious.

A great footballer but for NY cosmos in the main

Which for me puts him behind Maradona in the all time greatest deceased.

Ok so we’ll go one further and say - never saw pele live but saw Maradona play even in his later days was an absolute genius.

It’s a little like todays Messi Ronaldo scenario one has been to several continents and leagues and became a superstar the other stayed at Barcelona , it’s opinions only for me Ronaldo is the better - and my reason for Maradona was / is that he won Napoli the titles on his own and world cups basically on his own aswel.

That was the basis of my opinion.

None of the "others" ever won THREE World Cups army88. Pele was the best and no mistake.
