Would Argentina have won the 1986 World Cup if Pele in place of Maradona?

You need to let this go, dude, it's completely souring your experience of football.

In any event, the short film was also screened at the Tribeca Film Festival this week and it's great the greatest individual performance in footballing history is getting its due recognition now in the North American media. An artistic masterpiece deserves another.

 

You need to realize the FACT:

in term of "SELF_PROCLAIMED as the best player EVER:

1- Maradona (from 87 until now he still got the delusion of being #1 LOL)
2- Romario (from 95 to 2010 - at least in 2012 he put himself below Pele and Maradona LOL)

 

Is there any performance by pele as impressive as maradonas vs Belgium (or England)? if there is I haven't seen it, but if anyone has a suggestion I would like to see

 

It's no delusion when millions of people agree:

 

so you are among those BOYS voting who knew nothing of football? LOL

OFFICIAL by respectable sources:

1- FIFA technical committee : Pele
The King of football PELÉ

2- Worldscoccer magazine (England): Pele
3- IFFHS (Germany): Pele
4- Franc Football (UEFA and France): Pele
5- Placar (Brazil) Pele
6- Guerin' Sportivo's (Italy) Pele
7- Times (magazines) Pele
8- BBC : Pele
9- AFS (British) Pele
10- Sports Illustrated (USA) Pele
... and many more websites out there ...

Wow, that's really well made! A real quality video.

 

The Hand of God commentary at 12:35 is the most interesting, where the central director corrects his own commentator.

 

Yeah... They say "it was with the head, no doubt" as if nobody else could see replays and slow motion images.
It is also interesting when the commentator (Victor Hugo Morales) says something like "Forgive me, but against England, today, even if it was with the head... what do you want me to say?

Football is a game for the people and the people have spoken.

yes but you do not ask the boys who played PES/FIFA games for who is best player
You should ask the PROS who watched players (real pitch) and had knowledge of the games

 

The people that voted are regular fans like you and me, if their votes don't count then neither does your opinions. So if your opinions should count, likewise with everyone else's.

 

He also rode in the Rolls Royce of Joseph Goebbels at this wedding.

Yes, as far as I can oversee, what he put into his body cannot be healthy. That includes loads of cortisones, ephedrine and anabolic steroids as well, and the long terms effects can be quite detrimental (as far as I have understood over time).

 

A lot of cocaine. Makes you wonder what could have been: a WC86 performance in WC90, and how far he would have taken Napoli in European competition. Still the greatest though.

 

WRONG, I never knew that vote until it was revealed. I am sure none of us here was there with the votes

 

It was also interesting that Menotti in 1981 said he was the most important international player, that he had all the qualities as a scorer and playmaker, and that he was the best since pele. Because I remember you questioned his level that year and referred to Menotti complaining about his style

 

That's right ...

During an interview lately (2011) with " El Flaco" *the skinny Menotti, he mentioned briefly about Pele, Maradona and Messi .. (on top of the main topic of Pep vs Barca team and players)

"El fútbol se lo robaron a la gente"
Nacido en Rosario en 1938, El Flaco es uno de los grandes oráculos del fútbol. Ahora habla sobre la Copa América, sobre el juego de su selección y sobre el estilo del Barça de Guardiola y del Madrid de Mourinho

Menotti charla con Diego Armando Maradona cuando era el técnico de la selección argentina

==============================================

Q: "If Del Bosque wanted to be like a Busquets, what about you, same or higher?"

Menotti A: "The time I saw him , I called a friend and said : "I've seen a player of a vanished species." It is a crack . The best that I saw in my life was Pele , I guess would be Pele. He was able to surprise you when going for a header : it went up a little and stood with his chest. You never knew what to do .

Q. How 'bout Messi ...?
A. I think there were four kings and the fifth has not appeared. Di Stefano, Pele, Cruyff and Maradona. We are now awaiting the fifth , it will be Messi or , for now, is not nobody . Is that is closer , but we 're not going to give the crown to five years. To give Messi the crown should see him outside of Barcelona, get what Maradona at Napoli . This was a band and became an orchestra. Messi is a luxury, a wonderful thing, but would be seen . It has nothing to prove to be the best in the world . But missing a step to be the best . No doubt you can have the crown of the fifth king , but not yet. But you know what's best ?

 

Don't really know but hope so. For sure, he's definitely been sober since the time he became manager of the Argentine NT (circa 2008).

Nothing specific, I do remember him blaming it on external factors, particularly the pressure to deliver on the field and off the field (socializing) in Napoli.

 

Napoli was in a poor region, full of gangs and MAFIA ... - became Maradona best friends .. few years later in 89-96

That was how he got banned for not only consume but also part of the ... traffickings ....
