The Ultimate Soccer Player to Walk the Earth

The word used by me was "WON" not "ACCOMPLISHED". Which changes the whole thing...
The argument was used with the purpose of illustrating the fallacy of the usual argument "Pele played in an easier league, so it was easier for him to rack more trophies while Maradona led a minnow to scudettos in Serie A etc".


About listing Maradona's accomplishments in Argentina, thanks for sharing. Only from his Boca goals are at least 15 (out of 28) who could make it into a top 3 of goal of the week.
Plus many brilliant plays...

The points of my argument (maybe it was no so well put, in which case I have to take the blame) was to defend the South-American leagues against the constant rubbishing thet get from many europeans... And in this particular case, that Argentina boasted enough quality during those years, enough anyway to stop Maradona from leading an argentinian minnow to the promised land...

lol :p
guess there was some miscommunication then
definitely agree with this part :):)

How the Hell did Paraguay got into this argument???. Just to bring some some facts about PY, at the time when some leagues in Europe were starting we were too bussy rebuilding our country from the War against Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay, that killed 90% of men under 13 ,and killed 75% of the population in the late 1800's.

Nicolae Dobrin - those who have never heard of him before, considered the best Romanian player ever. He was so good in his prime, 60-70, that he single handedly destroyed Real Madrid in a Champions League game (1-0). Santiago Bernabeu was so impressed with this unknown player that he offered and unpresidented $2 million to transfer him to the Madrid side. Because of the communist regime he was not allowed to leave the country and it is too bad he never got to play outside the Romanian League. Nicknamed "the Gander" for his graceful style of play which can be compared to that of Cruyff. He could dribble through the opposition entire midfield and defense and often set up his teammates though he could finish himself.
