>muh 3 WC's He didn't even play in 1962, so by merit alone, he only got 2. Not only that, he wasn't even declared a champion until a decade later, retroactively. He was a youngster in a super team in 1958. He also had a super team in 1970 but let's say that 1970 was his tournament. He also failed in 1966 though.
Compare to Ronaldo and Maradona, who could have also achieved 3 WC's with a little bit of luck Ronaldo 1994 (youngster), 1998 (stolen), 2002 (best player) Maradona 1978 (youngster), 1986 (best player), 1990 (stolen)
But luck wasn't on their side. Ronaldo was poisoned in 1998. Maradona was somehow not called in 1978 and had the final stolen from him in 1990.
Pele is the god of marketing, not the god of football. Both Ronaldo and Maradona were better.
He also wasn't the best player in 1970 Half of his """"1000"""" goals were in unofficial games before the offside rule even existed, he is the quintessential fraud Didn't even play in Europe, ended up getting exposed in America lmao, Fred tier player
Jose Butler
>Maradonna >1990 >(Stolen) Germany was better that Year. It was ine of the most one sided Final in World Cup history
Carter Carter
>look Sup Forums how edgy I am
Hudson Price
no mentions about how he played in a shit tier brazilian league or how Garrincha was the key player in his second world cup victory?
Blake Rogers
He was just FIFA's good boy and wholesome image, not even the best BR Maradona is not the image they want even though he was always 10x the player
Oliver Perez
SATANIA A SHIT
SHIIIIIIT
Alexander Clark
>Mexican ref in an Argentina vs Kraut final I wonder what you gave the Mexicans for their favour, can't be worse than the weapons you gave kebabs for the 06 wc
Nathan Howard
Remind that anyone who doesn't think that Pele isn't the best player who ever lived forever is a racist and babyboomerfobic.
Parker Flores
Brazilian football in the 60s was on a similar level to serie a or la liga at the time. That's why we tried to buy so many players from them.
Liam Wilson
Was Pele the original Brazilian who can't hack it in England?
Christopher Parker
Also like half the goals he scored were on unofficial friendlies against literal whos
Jeremiah Flores
>1990 augenthaler blatantly pushed over while trying to score from zero distance -> should have been penalty voller was fouled during the "successful" tackle -> sould have been penalty
if there was no refball in 1990 final, germany would have won 2-0. Argentinian faggots didn't even shoot once on target, they were busy constantly fouling the Germans
Benjamin Rogers
In official competitions he scored 757 in 812 games
Camden Taylor
Duuhhh!!! Of course every established players ever are overrated af. This is /asspee/ after all.
Matthew Campbell
I know this is just a bait thread to trigger my fellow monkeybros so I'm not gonna waste much of my time here. The fact is that Pelé was a player (way) ahead of his time, like Maradona and Ronaldo were whether he's the GOAT or not.
Now I'm off to eat some soup
Jeremiah Bailey
Fuck off Argentina shouldnt even have been in the final in 1990. Worst finalist ever, zero shots on target, all they could do was break legs. I'm glad you'll never win anything ever again, and btw Pelé has more world cups than your entire country
Evan Rogers
>1990 (stolen) They were genuinely worse than Portugal 2016, scored like 3 goals all tournament.
John Fisher
> 90 > 98 It's unusual that the best team ends up winning the World Cup, but these two are clear exceptions. Argentina shouldn't have played the '90 final and Zidane's France had no real rival in '98.
Wyatt Russell
No need to make such long posts to tell us he's overrated. Anyone without a canadian or american flag knows this already.
Gabriel Allen
its better neymar tho
Owen Nguyen
>1990 was stolen but 1986 was not
Jace Rogers
Italy was the best in 1990
Hunter Reyes
Happened in the last 2 WCs senpai
Gavin Bailey
He has an honarary knighthood, which means he's the greatest ever British players alongside Charlton and Hurst.
Lincoln Allen
the only soccer players I know are Pele, David Beckham and Hope Solo.
Landon Lopez
anime is overrated too
Josiah Johnson
I know this thread is pure b8, but I'm gonna leave this here. It's good stuff, watch it.
