Messi & its Argentinas year this year which will crown him the greatest ever.

he will probably need to win a world cup to realistically take the GOAT and maintain his phenonmenalness for a few more years

as for others.....cruyff is knocking on the door as is best....who else? ronaldo 1 and 2? di stefano , garrincha, what about puskas? along with gerd muller the greatest europena goal scorer surely? 84 games in 84 internationals, 616 goals in 620 career games? wtf:shocked:mullers record is just as staggering...68 goals in 64 internationals..655 goals in 709 career games.(he actually scored 1461 goals if you include his later career in lower leagues) all time top world cup goal scorer.won world cup and european cup too...pele only scored 1283 goals lol...romario unother under rated one....968 career goals, 55 goals in 70 internationals....world cup winner

as for the great eusbeio 428 goals in 431 top flight games.....another mind boggling record

Maradona and Garrincha are my favourites but maybe I'm just saying it because Brazilians like to reinforce that Senna was, is and always will be our biggest sporting idol, not Pelé.

Messi

The end

It doesn't matter if he hasn't done it in a tournament,tournaments last less than a month and you're heavily reliant on everyone putting a shift in. Messi has been consistently ridiculous for years now and he'd do it in any big team

Pele is just generally annoying and how he himself thinks he's the GOAT and how he worms his face in everywhere. Will probably be Pele overload this summer too. He's the best Brazilian player sure but I prefer Garrincha Socrates and Ronaldo in terms of favourite-ness for me

King Gizzard
02-04-2014, 02:39 PM
And Rivaldo and Ronaldinho


You can go on and on

Pelé won 3 World Cups, hardly surprising that he sees himself as the GOAT. :laugh: but yeah he's very annoying. He'll make +- 15 million pounds this year apparently.

King Gizzard
02-04-2014, 02:45 PM
Yeah I know he can rightfully call himself that but he doesn't seem to have any sort of humility

Ronaldinho
just wasn't at the top for as long as them.. Which i guess means he isnt but when he was at hes peak. My god.

Messi is good aswell.
Pele overrated imo.
Maradona same level as Messi imo.

In terms of the best match winner or big game player of all time Zidane gets my pick.

the truth
03-04-2014, 10:09 PM
zidane is a million light years behind pele messi and maradona

they are the only 3 out there on their own

none are over rated, theyre all geniuses

my order is

1) Pele
2) Messi
3) maradona

the advantage messi has now is that tackling is now banned....back in the day tackling was ferocious and dangerous and they were playing with a pigs bladder

as for pele over rated thats like saying ronnie osullivan is a crap snooker player. its utter nonsense. he scored 1281 1 career goals, 77 goals in 92 internationals, won 3 world cup, scored 3 goals in 3 finals.....won the world club championship a few times amongst endless other trophies and awards etc

as for his lack of humility? the man advertised viagra worldwide for a limp dick? give him sone credit mun

BIB the best big game player in history Roy Keane say's hi. If you would like a case of reference go have a look at that night in Turin when Roy had Zidane looks like Tom Cleverly

Also love the way Best gets no mention in any of these debates loool utter rubbish

best is the greatest british player ever imo he doesnt quite get into the top 3 mainly because his career petered out a little no doubt with the endless boozing and womanising etc and his lack of much international success, though he didnt have much chane with northern ireland. ive met the great man too, wonderful bloke, great company and quality raconteur.

as for roy keane lol he doesnt make the top 1000 lol

Any Englishman who says Maradona after his World Cup exploits is a trailer to his country and should be strung by his knackers on tower bridge :nono:

Doesn't make top 1000 yet was NEVER dominated by any one player destroying the best of the best go ask Vieria and Zidane how good Keane was. Also has a very strong case for the best single performance in history in 99 where he embarrassed a player many put in there top 10

SAF before the feud "Keane is the best player I have ever had"

Roy the greatest box to box midfielder in history and top 25 all time if you don't agree you just confirm what I already knew about your lack of knowledge of the game

Let's be honest though. If Maradona had this Argentina squad then no other country sniffs an international tournament. You just can't be the GOAT when you haven't delivered at a WC yet. You don't even need to carry your team to win it like Maradona did, but at least show up to one.
