Every discussion about the best football player comes to an end at Maradona and Pele.Some other names also rise , But it dies out before them.
Who you think is the best.
Fifa awarded Pele as the best ..But football fans all over the world selected Maradona as the best.
I read it from one newspaper that fifa did it so because of maradona's friendship with venezuala(sorry if the spelling is wrong).
Do you think above said is true..
I personally will go for Maradona.Its not only because iam an Argentine fan but its because of the atmosphere at which both were playing.Pele was playing for Brazil when it was having some of the best players ever in world like garincha.Moradona was playing with a bunch of average players.
Its not easy to make a team to the top with some average players than with some good players in the team.
So i think Maradona is the best..
Who you think is the best...(You may give other names also.)....

In my openoin MAradona is the best footballer,because he has lot of skills and he won the world cup of Argentina.but pele played with some skilled players,all his companions are good players.

I get the idea of what you are saying but in that case, it would be easier to spot maradona as the best player because he would be in evidence all the time, playing alongside average players.
And by that line of thought, Pele wouldn't show up so much because he would be one in the middle of many good players.
I think each one of them were incredibly good players in their own way, but i tend to favor Pele. I also think that he was the best player in terms of being in the field, taking whatever opportunities and being consistent. But I might be prejudiced since my mo is Brazilian and I lived there for quite some time hehe

There was a headline in almost all the sports media that Messi of argentina has acheived the same feat of dribbling past 6to7 of his opponents and finally scored a goal, at a great speed, and that has ignited the memories of Maradona's famous goal against England in w-cup.Have u seen Messi playing? Actually argentina has not exploited full potentials of him in the last w/c,purposefully, to get him blossomed to his extreme football beauties.

Maradona won the world cup for argentina in 1986 and no one expected them to win it. But the reason why they won it was mainly because of Maradona. He was a gifted player and is a true hero for the nation. Pele was great but the players he had around were also great such as carlos alberto, zico, etc. I know he has scored hatful of goals. But i will have to choose Maradona because he was so talented and skilful. They are both legends.

they both have reached great heights in the game of football but if you ask me i will say that pele is a step ahead of maradona.maradona is a playmaker where as pele is a lethal finisher.there is no other gifted attacker other than pele but maradona is not like that he just keeps the ball in his legs and passes it to the forwards.there are many players who can control the ball like maradona but there are only a few forwards like pele who could go on score goals in every match. his greatness can be counted on the number of goals he has scored
