ok i am pasting it again, as it is more appropriate thread.....
pele recently said that ronaldinho is better than maradona. i dont whether there is a grudge between pele and maradona as why he said that. i havent seen pele in his prime so cant say much. but have seen maradona quite a lot in world cupts, italian league with napoli and also ronaldinho. both maradona and ronaldinho are good in dribbling, free kicks and corners. but in passing i think maradona was better. there are also things which maradona could do, i have never seen anyone else doing that. forexample: he could keep the ball bouncing on his shoulder and run at full speed. at the start of an exibition match, maradona just took the ball from the center on his feet and shot it from there. the ball goes in brushing the cross bar........ 60 yards. can you imagine this guy measurement /skill?
i am not sure what game pele was playing when he said the bar should be higher, it cant be in WC can it? as i said the things maradona did, i dont think even pele could do them. i ve seen one complete match of pele, 1970 final. and he didnt look that good then(he was just 30 at that time and didnt look as good as zidane at 34), made a headed goal and zidane can head better than that . maybe he was far better at 17 than he was at 30.
