Pele better than Maradona? Are you guys serious? You must be using the same stuff Maradona was...

Check it, sure Maradona was one foot but he lead a team, with no relevance before to a bunch of titles in a short span. He probably score the best goal ever, and even when he became fat and past his prime, he still worked everyone in Europe big time.

Pele, well, when his career started to slide, he could not take the high level of play anymore so he skipped out in his later years and went to America to play the game. Without doubt, this was the best move of his career as most Americans are now very familiar with him but have absolutely no idea who Maradona is.

Pele was scoring goals in a league that I am fairly sure my three year old daughter could have scored in. Meanwhile, Maradona is single handedly taking a club that will never be significant (as if they really were before) to big cup titles in Europe. You know, where the big boys play?

Maradona gets a bad reputation because of his abuse of drugs and some controversial statements he has made in the past. But to deny his footballing ability as anything less than the best is confusing. Pele could never have done what Maradona did and that is what makes Maradona better.

And if you can score a blatant handball goal in a huge World Cup game like that, you deserve to be praised. It was poor officiating that allowed the play to stand. All Maradona can do from there is celebrate.
