Would anyone take Pele over Ronaldo or Messi?

[Bynumite]

Not gonna put Maradona in this conversation because the 80's were not that long ago but Pele to me is like the Bill Russell of football. Accomplished quite a lot but i gotta question the level of compe ion back when he played in the 50's/60's. The game just feels ancient and quite different whenever i see his highlights. He also spent most of his career playing in Brazil.

Replace Neymar with Pele in today's brazilian NT and is he a game changer? Discuss.

[Canyonero]

I would

[TheGreatYacht]

I'd take Ronaldo over him. Definitely no on the midget though

Midget wouldn't last a half against West Germany.

lol pele the most overrated kent, if he had no wc trophies, would anyone even talk about him?

Messi has no WC trophy yet people talk about him

[diego]

And penaldo has won a wc?

Yknow I dog Pele a lot, IMO he only really won one wc, and no way he scores as many goals ad he did in a more modern era/ outside of brasil, that said, he was way better than penaldo. Penaldo never got hit as hard/often as Pele did, and Pele didn't need hundreds of penalties nor did he trip over himself once a game.

As for messi, they are similar in that they played on mostly stacked teams, but Messi never had the physical advantage Pele did, you could make a good argument for either

CR hasn't won a WC and never will, but people like to compare Misty with the GOAT WC winners; sorry, but ............


An ROnaldo won the Euro, while Misty had the chance to win CA TWICE


TWICE


So




Yeah

pele is ranked properly tbh, his football intelligence, in game adaptability and positioning were very underrated, with modern training/eating/coaching he'd do great. Sure, if you'd stick him in the middle of it, without a lifetime of training/eating/coaching he'd suck, but that's valid for anything from 70 years ago.

[Brazil]

what kind of question is that ? does not make any sense

[Brazil]

Its like saying who would you take to run a 100 m today, carl lewis or Viquaut ? dumb

So




Yeah

Portugal lost the final ronaldo played (at home, to Greece) and won the one he didn't.

Messi > penaldo I don't waste time arguing obvious things lefty, I know you're a Madrid fan but can you honestly root for a child who is constantly crying and throwing tantrums on the field?

[lefty]

So much salt tbh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lefty knows Messi >>> Penaldo


No manager in the world would take Penaldo over Messi.

[Bynumite]

lefty knows Messi >>> Penaldo


No manager in the world would take Penaldo over Messi.

Every former Argentina manager coach killed by midget would probably take Ronaldo imho.

So no manager would take an Alpha over an HGH abusing midget who can't win without Xaviniesta and Neymarez, who can't win despite having better NT teammates than CR?

Is this some kind of alternate beta dimension?

Penaldo's teammates win a euro without him

Messi's teammates can't even beat Bolivia.

Ronaldo's NT teammates >>>>>>> Messi's.

The argentina NT as a whole is a joke. I could understand if without Messi they played well but that's not the case. Without Penaldo, Portugal looked better than they had all tourney.

I'd take Messi for every game until the final tbh. There I would play Benchlando and sub him 8 minutes later.

Midget's teammates rang at the WC and Euro with Barca's team minus midget

Argentina would most likely rang too if they removed the cancer from the team.

cant believe I actually saw a Missi fan say "Eder and Pepe >>>> Aguero, ADM, Higuain, Mascherano, Tevez, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Dybala, Higuain, Lavezzi, Pastore, etc, etc"

We're talking about the same fan base who has claimed Rooney >>> Eto'O & Benzema >>> Ibrahimovic
