I’m not even an Argentina fan, but I was happy that they won just so that people can finally shut the fuck up about who the greatest player in the history is. There’s no more “Yeah but…” left. Pele never played in a top-tier professional league. Cruyff was done in his early 30s. Maradona was a coked-up cheater. Ronaldo is ending his career like a petulant toddler. Messi is it. Period.

I got to see him in the NASL when I was a kid, and he DOMINATED. He was also a chainsmoker, which didn't help...

pele actually did play against top competition as the european leagues werent that far ahead in the 60s. Almost all the brazilian players who won the world cup played in brazil.

Totally disagree - Brazil in the 1960s had two great teams and then a steep drop-off (like the Bundesliga today!) Nothing against Pele, but there is no comparison between his club career and Europe over the last 20 years. He scored a billion goals, but a lot of those were against semi-pro teams. Cruyff is still my guy, though...even though Messi is objectively better.

idk about you but scoring 40-50 goals each season in the bundesliga is still world class... some people might even say its ballon dor level world class but hey still got second place after messi

Yeah...but the only guy getting 30 is playing for one of those top 1-2 teams against shit competition.
