Fifa ranks Pele and Maradonna as No.1 equally.?

Maradona was great but Pele has no equal. Pele led Brazil to a World Cup title when he was 17, that is amazing and will never be equalled. There may be other young players to play in the World Cup but to lead the team to a title is another thing altogether. Pele won three World Cups and Maradona only one.The only thing Maradona had over Pele was that he played in Europe for 12 years.

yup..brazil is on top..\nlet me show you the latest top 10 list according to FIFA:\n1. Brazil\n2. Czech\n3. Netherlands \n4  Mexico \n5  USA \n5  Spain \n7  Portugal \n8  France\n9  Argentina \n10 England\n\nso u're right..england and france are in the top 10 list..\n\nas for beckham..in my opinion he's one of the best midfielder in the world..such talent is very rare..i'm not sure about the top 5 though..but all i can say is in terms of ball-feeding and free kick takers, he's the top of them all..also on the list of top 5 most handsome players he would be in there too..lol..

No one...not one player can be compared to Ronaldinho.  He is the absolute best player in the world. If any club could select one player, it would be Ronaldinho.  His style is bar none, his skills are bar none, he raises his team to another level....whether it be Barcelona or Brasil.  Pele's status of all-time best player could have it's days numbered if Ronaldinho continues his ways.

Pele actually retired in 1977. That was a little longer than 25 years ago. Best player since then A) Maradona or B) Zidane...followed up by C)Romario

Diego Armando Maradona (the great number 10)

in my opinion Maradonna is the best player ever, because i think he is the only player that can win the world cup and make an unprecedented amount of goals while all the time being under the influence of cocaine. If he was that good on drugs imagine how good he would have been without them and he probably would've lasted longer too.

I think its too early to judge the players.  Can they ever be judged?  Well people are going to do it anyways despite the different types of conditions present in the different eras.  So, to get on with comparing, I would say that Ronaldinho is not yet better than Maradonna was.  I know that Maradonna fans would not even like the idea that he was being compared to anyone, let alone  a player like Ronaldinho, who is only half-way through his best years as a player.  Maradonna fans even have trouble with his being compared to Pele in the never-ending debate about the greatest player of all time.  What I will say though is that it is possible that Ronaldinho will surpass Maradonna.  Whether he does or doesn't remains to be seen.  If he does surpass him though, I don't think that you could ever say that Ronaldinho was even twice better than Maradonna.  Remember, Maradonna was a very great player.  Could Ronaldinho really ever be twice better?  No.  He will be a fraction better.  And believe me that will be enough to get Maradonna fans all around world up in arms...

I beg to differ.  Ronaldino has a long way to go before reaching Maradona's skill and status in futbol.

Pele, simply the greatest.

This question has been asked umpteen times and based on individual skill Maradona wins hands down.\n\nPele scored loads of goals and won 3 world cups, but on individual skill he comes nowhere near Maradona.\n\nThe best team of all time - Brazil (Probably in 1970).\n\nThe best player of all time - Maradona

if you mean the world cup 2006, it would be ronaldinho.  he got the player of the year award two times in the row, one in 2004 and the other in 2005.  i believe that ronaldinho will be the next pele
