People plss post ur opinions:
Who is Great?
Maradona? or
Pele?
When it came to wizardry with the ball, given all of Pele's greatness, nobody compares to Maradona.
But I feel Pele to be a more complete player and a better motivator. A better team player, I'd say. And soccer being a team sport, I'll give this one to Pele.
And talking of greats, I don't consider either Pele or Maradona to be greats. For me, the word great itself attaches a lot of social responsibility to a celebrity. The celebrity would be looked upon to by generations to come and thus, they should strive to be role models in the true sense. Not a drug addicted excuse for a life like Maradona (Excuse my language but I don't think he really deserves all the emotions pouring out for him all over the world.); or a political Machiavelli like Pele (A lot could be attributed to him for the way Brazilian soccer has become a far cry from what it was till the 86 cup).
And to whoever dissed Beckham on his game, he's one of the best players on view today. No way is he overrated. He's just being a victim of the green evil, ENVY. He has a beautiful wife, truckloads of money, the best sponsorship deals, a highly distinguished career, popularity and above all, a great game. And unfortunately for him, he's the mild kinds who would just take it all. Give him a break ppl.
