Pele vs Maradona

[Pothas]

Jesus christ Ikki. Leave it please.

It was so nice to not have to read a thread with any stats for a while.

Guys, FFS, if you don't want to read it...don't read it. Worse than "annoying" discussions is people repeatedly whinging about it being annoying. Either skip the posts or just ignore the users. Easy.

 

[Goughy]

Haha yeah. Had heard of 'filho da puta' chants in Brazilian football stands though, it's really common.

Source?

Was wondering when we'd next see the famed Sir Alex rolleyes.

Yeah but this was a nice sub-forum without any Cricket chat drivel.

Feels like an ambush.

Yeah, we should all listen to the expert on this one.

Would definitely say annoying discussions are worse tbh. 65% worse actually.

No thread dedicated to Maradona would be complete without this.

WAG.

Dunno, always prefered the clip from when Bilbao and Barcelona met a year later in the Copa del Rey final, Maradona kicked the **** out of him.

Anyway, as far as the poll goes, Maradona by some distance.

That is a bit of stretch,, Its mostly opinion but still some distance is not quite possible.. Any particular reason?

Got absolutely **** all to do with anything.

Pele's one of those players who people recall with misty-eyed nostalgia, to the point where the legend overshadows the reality. It's debatable whether Pele was even Brazil's greatest World Cup player: 1958 and 62 we had Garrincha, 70 we had Jairzinho, my generation has Ronaldo. Garrincha and Ronaldo IMO certainly have a case to the claim of greatest Brazilian World Cup player. Compare that to Maradona, who single-handedly dragged Argentina to not one, but 2 finals, and won Scudettos and European trophies at Napoli.

GingerFurball is Ikki and I claim my five pounds.

The quintessential 'Tendulkar vs Lara' of a football forum

Prophetic opening post.

Last word from here: both players were clearly the outstanding players of their decade, won oodles of titles in the highest quality leagues of their time and contributed to truckloads of goals. Anyone who doesn't recognise either is churlish.

Exactly.

A mod can close this thread now.

 

[Furball]

Ok.

You go and tell me what about my post was trolling.

Let me know when you've attempted it as I will enjoy telling you why you're wrong.

Ended up more Warne vs Murali TBH.

But yeah, rest of Vimes' post spot on.
