Edited this after realising the thread it’s posted on. I got a rollocking from Admin about disrespectfulness on this thread and in hindsight that’s fair. Apologies to anyone who I offended. Pele is an obvious great and I wish him all the very best.
No doubt he was a major player in a superb era for Brazilian football. Like others have said, he played with some incredible players like Garrincha, Jarzinho etc.
I said that for me, the lack of European success puts him behind Maradona. Again in my opinion, Messi is just much better than anyone from a bygone era. I didn’t mention Ronaldo but don’t let that stop you having a pop.
Lay off the beer. You’re embarrassing yourself. Why do you deserve carte blanche at have a pop at people with made up stuff? Then you get to insult them when you’re called out on the lies.
I stand by my comment that the Brazilian leagues of the 60-70 were not a patch on the European equivalents. You’ve been called out on making up absolute lies “record number of World Cup hat tricks”. You embarrassingly doubled down with some tosh about the Rica Cup. Integrity indeed…
Yeah hat tricks against local bin men and road sweepers. No club football in Europe puts him behind Maradona for me. Messi probably ahead of both with relative ease.
I think Walker will start with an eye on him needing to keep tabs on Mbappe v France.
The midfield is a conundrum with 10-15 perfectly valid combinations. I’ve just re-read the OP and realised that’s the same team I’d go for as well.
