Pele Agrees With Directortecnico: Beckham More Pop Star than Player

its amazing how so much of what he says is deemed newsworthy

 

That's funny, I'm not sure who's opinion I care about less.

Considering that Pele would show up to the opening of a ********ing newspaper kiosk, I don't really think his opinion on Beckham's media-savvy is worth spit.

If Pele had half a brain, he'd be doing something more worthwhile than interviews.

 

Dude ok we get it go watch real madrid or something. I can care less what beckham is to you or pele or jesus for that matter. Obviously his signing has paid off, you find your self captivated and you keep creating stupid threads about beckhams sucktitude.

 

Pele = a jealous has-been.

He's going Chinaglia on us.

 

Wow, the level of stupidity that comes out his mouth nowadays is on the same level as his soccer playing skills in the 70's.

 

So you stated, but then the rest of your post was all quotes from Pele.
I don't get it.

 

This is a good post......

Mod, we do not need Trolls to come on our board

 

well, if your a madrid fan, you should be grateful for beckham saving your team last year...

 

Look

Galaxy fans question everything... dont be a friggin robot like Alexi Lalas wants you to be.

Pele's comments are all very credible, his stature in the soccer community is impecable and his credentials are astronomically greater beyond what becks has ever done or ever will do.


David Beckham is an average soocer player. With an enormous image. sure he helps puts asses in seats. but will he put silverware in the trophy case?

Right now.... and that means right now mind you. All signs are pointing to david beckham being the biggest sports fraud since the 1919 black socks scandal.

 

"Beckham a sporting fraud"

Being a Real Madrid fan and an England fan, i saw the results last season when RM tried to do it without beckham, and i see where England is now for trying it without beckham.

That is all i have to say.

PS: These Pele comments are at least 2 years old, and why don't you include in your post the comments Pele made about Beckham being one of the best in the world.

 

Gee, mods. Maybe you could re-title this thread:

Pele Agrees With Directortecnico: And they are both wrong, again!

 

Who's trying to shut up the greatest footballer in the history of soccer?

And since when is being the greatest footballer in the history of soccer in the world of the universe give you the authority to be right about anything you say about other soccer players or the sport in general?

God forbid you try to understand other people's opposing opinions, rather than belittling them, oh greatest bigsoccer poster this side of the galaxy who is so great that the greatest soccer player in history of soccer agrees with him, and not the other way around.

 

Is Pele still playing? You know, still lacing up the boots for the Cosmos?

No?

Then why do we care?

I'm sure Becks is hurt....he gets to wipe his tears with dollar bills and give Posh the business every night. He'll pull through, I think...he's heard it before, a time or two.

 

well like a lot of old people, pele tends to moan a bit too much, i just wish he would belt up.

 

Doesn't matter what Pele says, there's no evidence of anything. There's no evidence that Beckham will be a great player and there's no evidence he'll be a pop star. He's been injured almost the entire time! Pele is talking about someone who's only even played a handful of games, and for how many was he actually fit? I don't mind criticism of active players but be fair at least. Pele is one to talk, he was a party animal in NY.

 

You know...I also wondered why in the world Pele just retired from the game he loves so much; after his playing career, he became a FIFA ambassador/face. For a man so accomplished, why doesn't he manage? Can you imagine the team coached by the man who is basically the essence of soccer, like what Jordan is to basketball (speaking of which, same question)? He's around the same age as Sir Alex Ferguson.

 

Being a good or even great player doesn't make you a competent coach or even a smart person. Jordan was a failure as a mentor to the Wizards...I'd pick him first every time at the park though. Pele, too.

Pele: legendary player, useless pundit.

 

Because that would be too much like work.

Life is so much easier when you can go from banquet to banquet accepting adoration and unquestioning responses when you say really stupid things. And the money is probably better.

 

This is NOT something to trumpet... it's something to keep buried in the closet.

Pele, while easily the best player of all time, has consistently proven that his off-field knowledge is weak, at best. In particular, his knowledge of American soccer is absolutely non-existant. His recent comments about the MLS salary cap and that rich teams should be allowed to buy all the talent thee want, prove his stupidity beyond a doubt.

Pele should continue to let his feet do his talking. The drivel that comes out of his mouth is laughable, at best, and only serves to be an embarrasment.
