LOL, yes
I'm not going to deny that Messi is brilliant but this video begs to differ.

1. Football back in the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's was nothing compared to football today. Today is literally a million times more organized, back then defenders were running around like headless chickens (as you can see in that vid). Pele (and also Maradona) is one of the all time greatest, but he wouldn't be able to pull off half of the things he did back then in today's football.

2. Pele played in brazilan league for 90% of his career, which is considerably weaker than La Liga, which at the moment is the best league the world has ever seen.

3. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lionel_Messi#Honours
He has won ALL OF THESE at age 22, imagine what it will look like at the end of his career.

4. I put this in spoiler tags because it's so long;
Pretty much every single one of these quotes are from the past two-three weeks..

5. This is the best comparision of Messi and Pele I could find, not written by me but backs up everything in my post:

Quote:It is always difficult to compare different generations of sports people, and this is even more arduous as I was not priviledged enough to have seen Pele or Maradona in the flesh. However I have seen the best of what these great players have done and compared to Messi it seems rather ordinary. Maradona is remembered most for his wonder goal against England but Messi has scored a number of goals like it. Pele has won three World Cups which is unbelievable but I question the standard of opposition he came up against. He never played in top European leagues, and while I don't rule out South American leagues completely, his goal scoring exploits in Brazil have to be questioned. Messi is playing in an era where every team is organised and very professional. In the Champions League he plays against the strongest, fastest and smartest defenders around, and he destroys them. That coupled with the fact that sport evolves and naturally players become better and better suggests that Messi is the best player who has ever lived.
You should move discussion to the General Football Thread:
