i'd go with maradona\n\nRight.. he won 3 world cups... but.. in 58 played only the last games, and in 62 played only one game. Brasil had a GREAT team(garrincha, Gerson, etc).. it wasn't just PELE (Maradona won the 86 cup almost alone, HE was the team.. right they were good, but not THAT good)\n\n\nAnd as someone else said.. winning that FIFA's award is as meaningful as winning Employee of the Month at McDonald's.\n\n\nit's very difficult to compare... it's two different times... a LOT of different circunstances(compare time, opponents, marking, TV presence, media/fan pressure, teams/co-players, etc)... that's why these discussions never get to an end... because it's all about opinions...
