Pele says he is like the beethoven of football

Fine, then Maradona is the Bach or Mozart of football.

 

[sarcasm]This can only end well.[/sarcasm]

 

Pele can call himself whatever he wants. He's still ********ing Pele.

 

I think Pele is more Bach or Mozart while Maradona is more Beethoven.

 

I guess that depends on who you feel is better... on both ends of the spectrum. Unless you're talking about style, then i've got nothing because I don't know enough about music to say anything meaningful there.

 

dresses like him at times.....

 

I personaly prefer Beethoven for music and Pele for football. Beethoven is dark, serious, brilliant, dramatic, and a bit disturbed while Mozart and Bach are a bit more technical, happy, and near perfect.

 

Maradona is the dirty cheat of football. End of story!

Pele rules!

 

He's being modest since he was like ALL the great classical composers roled into 1 and...then some!

 

Maradona > Pele

I like the acrobat vs. artist comparison

 

If Pele is the Beethoven of football, Maradona must be the Ricky Martin of football 'cause you know... Diego's been livin' la vida loca.

 

Long live the king... he is the only man in the football world that can say whatever the hell he wants because NO ONE can compare to him... and he never even played Euro ball!!!

 

Hold on a sec, classical music isn't the only measure...he's the ALL the great composers of ALL styles of music...yadda, yadda.

 

Pele knows that he was the greatest footballer that ever lived, and plays on that fact imo.

 

Pele had a point. He could do everything! Maradona had his own genius but come on, he couldn't head or kick with his right leg.

 

Drug Lord Maradonna is a cheating little bastard though, sorry for the language. He is not fit to clean Pele's boots. That miss he did in 74, i think it was that World Cup, was outstanding. I tried something similar, but fell over. Not to worry though.

 

Pele seems a little arrogant talking like this. But for someone that watched the movie Pele Forever is impossible deny he's telling the truth.

 

No doubt Pele will go down in the history books as better than Maradona.

Best in the world? I have a hard time understanding how somebody could be called best in the world if 90% of their career was spent playing in one country. The other 10% being the world cup or north america (which shouldn't even be counted).

 

He played in the best football league of his time. Three times WC champions in 12 years while europe had one. Of Course you're thinking as if we were talking about today when all brazilian (and south american) top players are in europe. but i forgive your blasphema because you are argentine and it is a typic argentine point (lleno de envidia understand)

 

I'm not doubting pele is better... just giving my opinion... still
as it stands, most of his career was in brazil. And I don't think everyone
here would agree that brazil had the best league in the world,
even at that time.

 

As my music professor used to preach..

Bach, not rock!

To him, and all of us buttsniffing students, Bach is supreme.

So, if Pele is Beethoven, then Maradona is in good shape.

David Beckham - Liberace? Blasphemy. Goldenballs isn't even John Williams.

Paul Gascoigne can be Brahms.

 

john williams is pretty great

and pele already said that freddy adu is mozart so that's settled
