NO, disagreed!!!! Diego Maradona was not the best, Edson Arantes Do Nascimento "Pele" was the best, and the answer is simple, Pele, three times world champion, Diego:once and only once, Pele never used drugs to enhance his play, Diego got caught too many damn times, Pele was a master with the fooball, never cheated, Diego scored a goal w/his damn hand, there is no way Diego Maradona can even compare to Pele, Pele is in a way superior level, Pele is the King.

No, Pele was. Maradona as a player was extremly good, he surpass almost everyone with his style of play. But the best player is not only about skills, is about been huimble, been true to the game, and been a model who younger generations will look up to. Pele was the best.
And Maradona Jr, Is not over - Dont hate because history dont lie.

No.
You just have to watch 2 matches to realize why Pele is the best ever.
FInal vs Sweden in 1958 and the final vs Italy in 1970.
Watching Pele playing on that game is an aesthetic pleasure, pretty much like opera, ballet or a good classical music concert.

He was a great player, no doubt. Probably had the best close ball skills of them all. You cant get away from Pele's goals though (1000+) that’s what the game is all about.
For me the greatest player I ever saw was George Best.

I am afraid that Diego was very good, but Pele is the soccer GOD according to many, and was better (best player ever = Pele)

hell no cheating ba$tard Pele was certainly the best player of all time and the 2nd best sports person of all time (Mohamed Ali 1st) and to be the world best player you have to be a role model during and after there career and I'm not really sure being a obese drugged up chain smoking tw^t is being a good role model

if you are talking about all times its ronaldinho and if you are saying about before it was Franz B. or Pele. Thats it Germany or Brazil. And Italy did´t deserve the FIFA World Cup!!!!!!!
