Seabass = what a noob

Not so much in terms of speed, but in terms of fitness. Things are very different now. That's not to disrespect the quality of those players, but in my opinion Pele wasn't playing against the same type of class he would be today. And that's not to say he'd struggle today, but it would be a little more of a challenge.

If Pele was playing today, he'd receive the same training as everyone else. So, his wit could make the difference.

have always believed that great players could play in any era.Talking about Pele it was his football brain that set him apart.So things have not changed that much really
when we talk about great players but football was magical back then compared to what its become in the last 10-15 years.

Agreed..

Although we have some great players Today; Xavi, Riquelme, Pirlo, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabregas, David Villa, Fernando Torres, Van der Vaart, etc, etc..

None of them have the Level of Technical and Tactical skills -that- described players like Maradona.

I mean, we had Van Basten, Maradona, Platini, Zico, in the 1980s -then- we had Romario, Baggio, Ronaldo, Zidane -but- currently, we just don't have those Type of players.

Maybe, "marketing" is ruining the sport, or maybe the more Physical approach restrains (or ignores) a Lot of players with Natural Skills. Don't know what it is to be honest..

Anyways, Ronaldinho was a great player for about 3 or 4 seasons, Messi seems to be getting there.. let's see Who lives up to the expectations.

...no pele, no maradonna, no puskas, no di stefano, no beckenbauer etc.
No wonder he is ruining our favourite game, he doesn't have a clue...

Let's just add these names and we have the ultimate dream team. :fplm:

IF you want a team, you don t need Pelé.

OK, i agree with you about beckenbauer,(instead of ferdinand probably)
But gatuso is one of the best Defensive midfield italy ever had.
