george weah is great but pele is the better footballer..\n\nPelé's technique and deft touch combined with his dribbling skills and scoring ability have been universally praised. His most spectacular signature move was probably the "bicycle kick".\n\nWeah being known as one of the best footballers never to have played in a World Cup.

SWEDEN!\nin the 1958's FIFA World Cup in Sweden.\n\nIt was won by Brazil, who beat Sweden 5-2 in the final for their first title. The World Cup marked the debut on the world stage of 17-year-old Pelé, who would grow to be considered one of the greatest footballers of all time.

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.

Pele. He was 17 at the time and played against Sweden in 1958 world cup´s final when Brazil won 5x2. Pele scored one of the most beautiful goals in his career and in the world cup´s history.

PELE top scorer 1281 goals, top WORLD CUP WINNER 3 times.\nMany. many, many championships with santos, Copa Libertadores (several) and Intercontinental Cups (several).\n\n2 \nMaradona WORLD CUP WINNER, UEFA Champions WINNER. \nExtremly famous for his jumping, dribbling and 1 on 1 ability against the keepers. He was so talented for using la rabona, (not the cocaine, la rabona is a way to hit the ball while you cross the hitting leg behind the support leg and then hit the ball at the same time). Too bad he was a DRUG ADDICT and that is the reason why I do not believe he was the greatest!!!. Drugs like cocaine that DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA used, gave him the ability to see everybody else in slow motion, that is the reason why he was so fast and almost never was tackled down because he could resist constant kicks from the defenders, his balance was unbelieveable, totally out of this world for a man his height, only 5 feet 5 inches 1 meter 65 centimeters. \n\n3 \nRoberto Baggio UEFA Champions WINNER HypermegaUltra dribbling ability, fainting, middle and long distance shooting, free kicks and penalty kicks, middle height volleys, too. I never saw him lost on a 1 on 1 against the keeper during this career in the Calcio Italiano. This guy had it all. He was a mini version PELE. \nToo bad he never won a WORLD CUP because he played with an injured leg the final match of the WORLD CUP of USA in 1994.\n\n4 \nJohann Cruyff 2 WORLD CUP SUBCHAMPION \nI have nothing much to say about this demigod of soccer. No WORLD CUPs but the best in his position during the 70s. Not even the brazilian Zico was as good as this guy.\nWith Ajax he was at this top game, and then the injuries never left him alone. Too bad Johann, you were a diabolo.\n\n5 \nMichelle Platini what to say about this master of the ball.\nIntercontinental Cups, Squdettos with La Juve (Squdetto means Local League Championship Winner)\n\n6 \nRonaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excessively ball controller, so good so effective, he is almost unstoppable. Too bad he got injured in the top of this game. Now he is fat, kind of slow and can not take on defenders as well as he used to. \n7 \nRonaldinho WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) haha, splinter the rat from TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is the brother of this BOY. The fastest dribbler nowadays. He can create a scoring play from nowhere. He will win another WORLD CUP, you all will see.\n\n7 Rivaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excellent striking ability as well as bicycle kick ability. Dribbling talent, no doubt about it. Curling the ball was his special trick, he would put excessive power as well as curl in his shots, which made them extremelly difficult for the goalkeepers to retain, as a prove of that just watch his shot against OLIVER KAHN (germany's goal keeper in the final match of KOREA JAPAN 2002) it created the first goal for the Brazilians.\n\n8 \nRomario over 900 goals scored WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time)\nextreme accuracy and usage of the outside part of his right boot, he could score goals crossing the ball in the keepers area from side to side at ground level.\n\n9 \nHugo Sanchez over 400 goals scored Ultra aerial game !! This guy was a F1 airplane (the soccer ball were his missiles)scissors kicks, bicycle kicks, dive heading, over heading, besides of his great accuracy for free kick shoots, dribbling.\n\n10 \nFranz Beckenbauer, DAS KAISER, WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) the best German player ever, over Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Sammer and many other German mann (not bad spelled this is the way Germans use plurar for man in Germany).\n\n11 and on ? I'll let this one at your choice, Puskas, Alfredo Di Stefano, David Beckham, Luis Figo, Ryan Giggs, Manuel Rui Costa, Gabiel Omar Batistuta, Ortega, Luis Hernandez, Cuauhtemoc Blanco. They did not nor will ever win a WORLD CUP. Too bad for them, what a shame.

By far, I think Ronaldinho from Brazil is the best player in the world. Not just because he is productive, but also he elevates soccer to a new level.

By definition, there can be only one "best player" in the competition, by the way, it will be either Ronaldinho or Wayne Rooney.\nYou read it here first!!

Pele is the most famous and probably the one that achieved the most success.  He won World Cups, European championships, and even championships in the U.S.\n\nTwo interesting anecdotes about Pele are:\n1) Once he was scheduled to play in an African country who was at war with its neighbor, and the neighbor country said that they would cease fire if Pele played in both countries.  So Pele played in both countries and war stopped for a couple of days to see him play.\n2) Pele was playing somewhere in Europe and everyone that was in the stadium went there to see Pele more than anything else.  During the game, the referee ejected Pele from the game, and the crowd went crazy.  So finally, Pele was brought back into the game and the referee was taken out!

Pele won as a player 3 world Cups, but only played in 2 finals as he was injured for the 1962 victory. \n\nHe was hacked out of the 66 world cup by Portugal, and as we know England won it. He said at the time he would not play in a World Cup again but he was back and what a great team that 1970 one was.

pele\n\nEdson Arantes do Nascimento, Honorary KBE, (born October 23, 1940), nicknamed Pelé  is a former Brazilian soccer player universally regarded by experts and fans alike to be one of soccer's finest -- if not the finest -- player ever.\n\nOften considered the complete midfield and attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a prolific clinical finisher, exceptional at dribbling and passing, and was a remarkably good tackler for a forward. He was also famed for his speed and kicking strength. Over the course of his career, Pelé scored over a thousand goals and won three World Cups. Since his full retirement in 1977 he has served as an ambassador for the sport

The first World Cup was played in the year 1930 at Uruguay. The first goal was scored by France's Lucien Laurent in which France won 4-1 against Mexico. But the Cup was won by the hosts.\nAs for Pele, he has scored 12 goals in the World Cup, third in the all-time highest list.\n\nWHY DO PEOPLE COPY ANSWERS???\nGO DOWN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!!!
