The Great Debate

Many have spoken about football (soccer), many have argued on the subject, many have even died for its beauty. The all time arguement still remains. Who was the greatest player of all time? The answer lies between Maradona & Pele.

The men of football, the icons of the world's beautiful game, the leaders of the new world, all from kicking a ball around is quite impressive isn't it?

The arguement most often used is the one of '' Who holds the most worldcups?''

''Who scored the world's best goal?''

Answers come from all over the world!

In my opinion Pele was the greatest to have ever walked on grass. The source of inspiration in everything I do, as a young kid, & the age that I am at now.

The beauty in the beautiful game, Pele was the icon, the soul, the love, the enthousiasm, the passion, the heart & every good adjective you can think of, he was that; and still is.

Holder of the record in career goals, with over 1,200 goals. Holder of 3 world cup trophies.

Preety much, every award that is linked to football, Pele has it. The highest honor?

The Athlete Of the Century Award!

Maradona has scored one of the most amazing goals known to the soccer world. That I cannot take away from him. Unfortunately, the rest of his story is sad and dishonorable.

Maradona, after a powerhouse carreer, has become addicted to have drugs, doing lines of cocaine and smoking non-stop. He had hit a record low, once he had become extensively overweight and had become bankrupt!

Maradona crumbled under the fame. On my personal side, I never felt an inspiration from Maradona, the very fact that he had failed with a show of no regret was a punch in the face to me, to a kid that dreamed of having what he had, & just threw it away.

Pele was the ingenious magician. The Beauty & the Beast walked on the field with confidence, pride and respect for everyone.

The only player I've ever heard of that had put a pause to war & had both opposing sides sit in the same room and watch him play.

If that isn't beautiful, I have no indication to a clue what is.

Pele was, is , & always will be the greatest of all time. Like it or not, he is what football is based around, he is the messiah of soccer & the truth of my dream.

He is the Greatest Player To Have Ever Lived
