Pelé

just because dude learned one trick in the ancient time of football when noone else even knew the shape of the ball and managed to score many goals doesn't mean that he is the goat

100% agree
he scored 1000 goals against who? random brazilians farmers who played in the us where football hadn't kicken off yet. ( no pun intended)

The 1000 goals thing is just a plus

He won three world cups, the first when he was 17 years old.

ok but at that time football wasnt as advanced so he was ahead of his time but if u would put him in football now, he wouldnt be considered to be one of the greats

He created the basis of current football, if you look at his playstyle it is similar to what we have today. and doing that in the 70s has a lot of merit

It's the same thing as calling out Einstein and say that "science wasn't advanced at his time"

Both created the basis which the next generations set foot upon, saying something like "put him in football now and he wouldn't be one of the greats" is not a valid comparison.

if you put Einstein in today's science he would still make a difference, though Pelé wouldn't.

This thought proccess does not make sense. You simply cannot say that, because it's an impossible situation to think about. You can only analyse someone's impact in their own time. What would have been of Messi if Maradona did not existed in Argentina? What would be of all the great players from Brazil that inspired themselves from Pele if he did not existed?

You can't say someone is "bad" or "wouldn't make a difference" in the present time cause without them, the rest would not exist.

Gareth Bale
Great physic, great pace, but that's really all about him.

Barely any teamplay whatsoever, 0 Gamesense, at least R. Madrid wise
Dunno about Wales or Tottenham back then

nah hes insane, he just gets injures too often, in his peak he was more close to ronaldo and messi than neymar ever was

Why do you thing he's insane?
Maybe for more well-paced leagues like EPL. He could show more potential there.
In a slower league like the spanish one, he's pretty lacklusting. Players like Modric, Vinicius or Messi shines way more. Madrid should've seek a transfer for him long time ago

Btw, you mentioned Neymar.
He's another example he would benefit more in the Spanish league than the french league. French league is very physical as well, reason he doesn't shine as much as he did with Barcelona. PSG needs power, physic, not Neymar. Barcelona needs Neymar, Messi, not explosive players

Neymar didn't take care of his body that's why he isn't explosive anymore + the injuries.
But Neymar has been top5 since his transfer to Barcelona.
This season has been a crap for him so far..but we never know.

Indeed, injuries did him pretty bad, but that's another reason he is not really showing his full potential at PSG

bro you are talking about gamesense, football is not valorant. You can be one of the greatest just with physical attributes, like bale. He won the UCL 4 times like Messi and he carried Wales to the semis of eurocup. He has memorable goals in big matches. He is not the goat but he is not overrated at all

Well, indeed I call it "Gamesense" but you know what I mean. You still have to know how to play in concordance with your team. I don't agree with your statement that you can be one of the greatest "just with physical attributes". Looks like a shit ton of bullshit to me mate.

Van Dijk.
Became a top footballer too late.
Just like Salah.
Both are overrated.
Comparing them to Ramos & Messi etc is so dumb
Van Dijk's levels are Bonucci etc.
Salah's levels are Hazard etc.

i agree with ur last statements but i dont agree that u bring up "Became a top footballer too late."

every player had different time of peak. vardy and van der sar peaked when they're over 30 while player like rashford and varane already peaked since they were young but now they're started to declining. just because one player had late peak doesn't mean they are bad.
but i still agree that both of them are on bonucci and hazard levels.

Haaland and Mbappe cant play counter attack in PL.

It's not about being "easier" or "harder" lmao
It is about the style of play he benefits the most. And that's the EPL

Haaland and mbappe want to play in R. Madrid because they win champions and bring the titles. Fair and square

Brazilian players because everyone of them called legends just because of brazilian fanbase lol.
in fact none of them hit their potential.
Just like Neymar.
i dont want a flop player as a legend that didnt reach his potential.
Pele overrated with goals aswell.
He scores them on his backyard and keeps counting lol.

Bro stop saying bullshit.
Every great players recognize pele as a goat..Cruyff Did..Platini..And CR7 did.
The man won three world cup..his first he was only 17 age.

He destroyed every european national team.

And brazilian player?
Ronaldo fenomêno, Garrincha, Ronaldinho, Romário, Neymar, Roberto carlos, Marcelo, Bebeto...

Just to name a few..

varane.
he was never that good, yes he won many trophies but that's bcs he played with prime ronaldo, modric, ramos, marcelo, benzema and kroos. i mean anyone could win anything if you have them on ur team. now we know his true color with united. struggling, making mistakes and can't even fix united defense.

Actually he is a awsome player... but his choices and his disease take him away too early

for the ones that don't know what disease he has:

In 2017, Mario Götze discovered that he suffered from myopathy, a disease in the muscle structure that weakens the limbs and makes them painful, making it difficult to perform even everyday physical activities, such as getting up from a chair, going up and down stairs, etc.
