In reply to Arsenalfox2000 - I agree that we apply the word great to too many modern players today. I also agree that Pele was a great GOALSCORER - However, he participated in 2 world cup wins, the first in 58 which he was a young reserve who was brought in late on in the world cup and scored some good and VERY important goals, at 17 this made him a star the first real superstar footballer. in 62 he was injured and in 66 he was injured and retired. He came back in 1970 and had a very good world cup scoring great goals in a great team however the star of the show was Jarzinho. So in reality he was a great young player in 58 and then did very little on the world stage until 1970 - Of course in the meantime he was banging goals in for fun with Santos and obviously this was against some fantastic Brazilian defences????? (yeah right) - he was a great goalscorer with a some flair and vision; just like Van basten, Muller, Greaves etc. True he was an ambasador but does that make George best a bad player??? is Lineker better than Maradona because he is a nice guy????? I dont think so, Maradona came from the slums of Argentina and he was never going to be Mother Teresa, especially when he was surrounded by the wrong crowd all along just like Mike Tyson, Brazil won the world cup in 62 without Pele and they would have won it without him in 70 too. Maradona with Napoli and Argentina took these teams to another level, He scored great goals, created goals, led and inspired those around him to be winners and they would not have won their titles without him!!!!  He was not just a goalscorer but a GENIUS and Genius is not a word you hear associated with Pele. If he was, you would not have to point to the fact that he was great ambasador and all the other rubbish outside of the actual football on the pitch. As a goalscorer he was great, but so was Lineker, would you call Lineker a Genius - NO you would not. The other factor that you have to consider, is the standard of football when Pele played - It was very poor, teams would get beat by many goals regularly and the fitness and skill levels was poor. The lesser teams today are of a certain standard, all compenet footballers; back in the day except from a few....... the rest made the numbers up. \n\nGenius is:- Maradona, Roberto Baggio, Platini, Bergkamp, Cantona,  Ronahldinho, Henry, Zidane, Rooney, Beardsley.\n\nGreat goalscores - Pele, Shearer, Lineker, Greaves, Muller, Van Basten, Rush, Schevchenko, Raul, Fowler, Fontaine and many more. \n\nThere are few GENIUS but MANY Goalscores - Genius in football is not jus the ability to finish - but it is the ability to create the unexpected, vision, composure, flair, style, grace, fantasy, art and skill. \n\nYou can apply this to any sport or position in football. Tennis, Genius = Agassi Great = Sampras\n\nCentre Half - Genuis Legend = Baresi - Great Legend = Tony Adams\n\nFull Back - Genius Legend = Maldini - Great Legend = Cafu\n\nBoxing - Genius Legend = Ali, Great = Tyson \n\nGolf  - Genius Legend = Tiger Woods - Great = Nicholas\n\nFormula One - Genius Legend = Airton Senna - Great Legend = Schumaker\n\n\nTo be a Genius you need the X FACTOR you need GRACE and in front of the Camera Pele does have grace, on the pitch however he is a DEMON GOALSCORER, a Legendary goalscorer but not a GENIUS Footballer!!!!!!!!!\n\nSometimes the Legend beats the Genius eg, Sampras considered better than Agassi on the other hand Ali is considered better than Tyson -  In sport the professional legend gets more recognition than the rough around the edges Genius and this is the case with Pele and Maradona - althouthgh Maradona is also a Legend, the Legend of Pele beats Maradona becasue of other areas that people judge outside of the football pitch. But Pele is not a Genius and Maradona is - Maradona is the single most gifted footballer ever along with my personal favourite Roberto Baggio.

I only get to pick one??? Well, i'm picking out two!!! Riquelme and Tévez, the playmaker and the striker, both of whom the ball sticks to!!!! Riquelme has such pace and skill and imagination- and Tévez, who is built and moves like Diego Maradona!!!! Two exceptional and inspired players in a team of stars. I highly rate Lucho and Maxi and Cambiasso and Abbondanzieri too!!! Basically, any one of these players in any other team would be the best in that team, but together.... I so hope they win!!! :-)\n\nTo answer your second question, Tévez has a scar because when he was a baby he was burned when a pot of boiling water fell on him. Apparently he turned down plastic surgery- for which Boca, his club up until a couple of seasons ago, offered to pay because he didn't want to miss any matches and it's part of who he is. I didn't know how he got it either until today so I looked it up- and now I respect him even more!\n\nVAMOS ARGENTINA!!!!!

Think he's a good all-round and attacking player\nSmart, clever, hard-working, decisive, disciplined yet kinda aggressive.\nHe's gorgeous, talented and a great footballer any teams could ever ask for

He was GREAT...... way back when. When he played for Barca...when he won the world cup. Now he plays for olympiakos--not the best team but hey that was his choice. Ronaldinho has taken the spot for the world's best player now. I still have love for Rivaldo though--ah the fond memories.

me!\nhe used to be one of my faves when he played at barcelona.\n\nhe's still playing in spain-only with seville[don't know why barca don't want him-he's great.] :)

I don't think he's good ... Viduka scored 6 goals in all of his international games.\n\nI think Aloisi is good ... I just checked .. and apparently he's played 44 international games, and scored 24 goals. Now, tell me .. is that good or great??\nI wonder why Aloisi isn't a starter. Or maybe he's one of those subs you'd call ... SUPERSUB ... he needs to play a bit more.

It's funny you say that, he's tied for first in La Liga in scoring goals, people think that just cause he had a bad world cup, it wasn't just him who had a bad world cup, the top scorer had only 5 goals, that's down considerably from previous world cups, so nobody did anything spectacular, Brasil's former coach even said it himself he had the wrong mix of players and that's why they failed, but most countries would've liked to make it to the quarter finals, everyone just expects to much from him, you know this game is a team sport and if your not pulling your weight for the team then they cant produce, and Barcelona has been very unfortunate with all of there injuries.....  he is still the best player out there talent wise and his creativity is unfathomable, he will prove himself again you wait and see....

yeah, how dissapoiting was he in the world cup?!?!?! i think he'll only ever be a good club player but recently hes been letting brazil and barcelona down. i think hes been caught up in all the fame and forgot the football

He is kinda overrated. He is a very good central midfielder. He can score goals, he can create pretty well, and his range is very good. \n\nBut I do agree that almost every show or a lot of fans judge him as the greatest. The hype begins to cloud the real player.

The performance: Hermosa! (Beautiful!) Lionel Messi: Promising. I love the whole team, including, though as a Boca fan I could be seen as biased, Roberto 'Pato' Abbondanzieri's habit of being able to boot the ball upfield straight to Riquelme, or Tevez, or anyone just waiting to catch the opposition out. Ok, Serbia and Montenegro weren't the strongest opposition, but Argentina put in a performance that was a joy to watch, skillful, clean and, it wasn't just a good performance by eleven stars, it was a performance by a real TEAM, which, apart from Equador, is something that hasn't been seen so much as i'd like, with too many countries pinning their hopes on just one or two of their most distinguished players.\n\nVamos Argentina! It was a party!
