Underrated tweet!Thread is outdated already.
Someone just crossed a ball in for Pele out his back door and he smashed it into the net past a helpless stray dog in goals to give him another official goal and move him back into the lead.
Not only did I rate it but am actually officially counting it!Underrated tweet!
Messi scored again he's on 758.Let me guess.
Pele was rubbish Messi is great.
Always comes up in a Pele thread lol.An anagram of Messi is Ssemi, which I imagine Pele wishes he had.
Not rubbish but Messi is far superior.Let me guess.
Pele was rubbish Messi is great.
Clueless fkpigs putting down the man who set the standard for football.

I suppose Di Stefano and Puskas were mince too !
Garrincha couldn't cut it in today's leagues !
Only a matter of time before the nuts move on to Eusebio, Best and Cruyff.
Basing abilities on a handful of games instead of an entire 15 year career would be really stupidThere always seems to be a lot of people who say Messi is better than Pele, but in reality, how often did anyone really see Pele playing?
I don't remember much South American football on TV in the 70's. If we're basing abilities on World Cup performances, are we really rating Messi that highly?
I thought they drew 4-4?Yet to see Messi score the winner against the Nazis to be fair.

What, all of them.Before my time but I've always found Pele's goal tally a bit suspicious.
In fairness, Pele played at a time when opponents could kick fûck out of you, as they did to him in ‘66. Sports science, training and dietary knowledge and practice were nothing like they are today.Not rubbish but Messi is far superior.
Brazil 1970 was the greatest ever team in my opinion.Too many people before my time rated Pele so highly that he must have been great. I never saw it in any film till I saw footage on YouTube which I hadn't seen previously, and he looked an incredible player. Most of what we probably do see is highlights of goals, but I detect what made him great went well beyond that.
Messi gets the ballon d’or just for turning up.
Most recent award proves it.
Watch the Brazil Italy World Cup final,you’ll see football at its bestToo many people before my time rated Pele so highly that he must have been great.

I'm from an era that Pele then Maradona were the best. One thing I would say is that Pele never played in a bad or struggling team that Maradona did and he was the difference. Messi has played in struggling Argie teams and has not been able to pull them up like Maradona did.
Both excellent players but goal tally shouldn't be the driving factor.
Messi racked up the majority of goals during demolition jobs against utter shite and Pele's 'criteria' has always been suspect.
100% correct, as good as Messi undoubtedly is Argentina have done nothing in the World Cup in his time.I'm from an era that Pele then Maradona were the best.

not a fair comparison IMO, the standard of national football has massively increased since those days, the smaller nations are miles ahead now than they used to be ... MILES !100% correct, as good as Messi undoubtedly is Argentina have done nothing in the World Cup in his time.
