How many European cups did Pele or Maradona win?
Very hard to compare like for like. Best just to appreciate them all as awesome players

I agree that Pele was the best ever. But at the same time we only ever seen Pele in the world cup finals. In 1958 I was not born then obviously I dont remember the one in 1962. The1970 finals is where he stood out and as far as I'm concerned thats where I base my judgement on. Otherwise we didn't see him play. There are some old B&W recordings but pretty little really.
There is also the fact he scored 1000 goals. Is that down to his brilliance alone or a reflection of the quality of the Brazillian league?

Are you moaning about Barca or the ref?

If you look above you'll see where I was coming from. However, it's like when NickyBoy says about how many UEFA Cups Messi has won compared to Pele but at the same time you could ask how many cups Messi has won on his own continent, or even intercontinental.
It's not about cups though, it's about how you see and enjoy the player. Nobody can argue that all the players mentioned aren't real quality and what is telling is the Tranny hasn't been mentioned yet ;-)
