    Maradona is way better...

    What people dont know is that pele never played for european leauges... and scoring in brazil is usually higher because they play three times as many games as the european clubs... he could never do 1000 goals in europe.. no chance in hell....

    Pele e o Rei! I remember watching the the '86 World Cup as a kid and feeling the utter disappointment when Maradona cheated! For me, his image as a professional football player was tainted that day. Plus, I lived in Brasil for a while, so I am probably just biased all around. Anyway, Pele gets my vote as the greatest!

    Two different players at two different times...I like both but the style of Maradona is closer to my generation, so I like him more...but my father said that Pele was much better...two masters in their own time

    Pele played in a time football was too offensive. The formation was like 2-4-4. That is only 2 defenders for 4 forwards. So I think it was easy to score. Maradona was tightly marked. So he had to work very hard to score goals

    Both were the best in their time, I don't know if you can really compare them.

    I voted for Pele. I think Maradona has too many off the field Issues. No doubt he is talented, but I just prefer to stay with people who are more grounded.

    Pele would always be the ambassador of the game. He gave new meaning on how football is played.
