what many people just don't get - England lost that game, in which Maradona used the "hand of god", 0-2 and the second goal by Maradona in that game was one of the greatest goals in football history (it was choosen as the "worldcup goal of the century" in 2002)

I think Maradona was the better footballer(technique/skill with the ball), but Pelè a better teamplayer and better leader of the team (well, Pelè in my eyes always had a better team to support him aswell).

 you obviously havent atched ANY videos of pele.

what players did pele have to support him? the brazil 1958 team was basically only pele and garrincha, and santos had maybe only 1 or 2 players that were even close to pele.

what u have to remeber is, pele had to play with players literally trying to kill him, and he had to play with the rough and ugly south american pitches. he still scored over 600 goals, and you say that maradona had better technique and skill with the ball? most of those stepovers and 360 turns w/e he does are done with his LEFT foot. ask anyone,
