"Well done Everton! Knocking them Mancs out!! haha"LoL they went all the way into a penalty shootout , im soooo happy : )
"Well done Everton! Knocking them Mancs out!! haha"My old man supports united LOL They deserved to go out after their first two penalties lol.
Still pissed Arsenal went out but i was kind of expecting it. Still the champions league is there to be won. Arsenal Vs Barcelona rematch would be sweet.
I support Liverpool.
Arsenal, does us a favour and beat United and Chelsea in the league!! I'd be very grateful! And good luck in the Champion's League. Hope you or Barcelona win.
I seriously wanted Liverpool to win. The match was incredible though.
Thanks, i just dont want Chelsea to win.

"Remember the other goal in that match?? hand of God or not Maradona ran rings round us that day.Best player ever imo.The goals he scored for Napoli & Argentina were some of the best goals ive ever seen.Regarding the drugs they did nothing to improve his game..aman13 says:
"my fav players are kaka and pirlo. Maradona is best of all time as people think who scores most goals are the best(pele)he was good though. an by the beckham is so overrated"Maradonna is a cheat - his "hand of God" goal robbed England in 1986, and he was a drug cheat by the 1994 world cup. On the international stage England will be back. Domestically - Hull City are the team to watch - believe it!

I beg to differ howabout Pele .
"Acer said:Yep Pele was a great player but imo not the greatest.Having watched Maradona live & on many video clips he was on a different planet when it came to ball control & going past players. The ball seemed to stick to his feet.Great great player regardless of his off the field problems."Chaos Prime said:I beg to differ howabout Pele .""Mighty Thorion said:I agree 100% Only player to come close imo is Ronaldo at his peek""Best player everaman13 says:

"How the Hell is Pele not the Best Soccer Player ?He's the best player in terms of popularizing the sport. A great player but by no means the best he was popular and had some amazing moments, and was solid throughout his careeer.
"
Their are many better than pele but none as consistent as him. Marradonna is better but he had drug problems. Ronaldo is better but his carreer is filled with highs and lows. I wouldn't even rank Pele in the top 5 but in terms of ambassodors for the sport he is number 1.
"How the Hell is Pele not the Best Soccer Player ?Footballs in my blood and as much as I hate him, Maradonna is the best player in history. Ronaldinho at is peak is better than Cristano Ronaldo. Messi is better than Ronaldo.

I watch Gerrard in and out and see he does crap loads of things the other players can't. I don't see Ronaldo or Messi doing sensational tackles. I don't see Messi firing goals from miles away. None of them as his stregnth when running. He's like a bulldozer in shorts. And his energy, drive to win and stamina all combine to being the best. Is what I think anyway.

I cant see it... Pele has better Numbers overall... and on a more consistent level
"Angel Dust said:Thats stats though. Many great players can go a whole career without winning anything big but still be seen as great. Look at the netherlands, one of the worlds best football nations, producing some of the most gifted technical players, Bergkamp and Cruyff for example yet they are seen as the greatest team to never win a world cup despite each team being heavy favourites.

And how in the World can someone be considered greater than Pele if he has No Titles or Less Titles ?
Stats and Championships is what Garner Greatness... thats how it is in Every Sport... Football, Basketball, Hockey, Baseball... you trying to say that Soccer has some sort of exception to this rule now ?
Saturn, you cannot look at it with that point of view. Is not only about goals, and in the case of Pele you have to look at how the sport was back then. Back then it was really straight forward compared with what it is today, making it easier to make a lot of goals. Pele was great though.
I really wanted Portugal to win World cup 2006, so Figo would have left the national team with the victory. Oh well... I picked Portugal as the team to support that year because yet again Colombian failure team failed to get in by what they do best failing!

lol
":O Really. He's Brasillian."Indeed... but I am American... lol
And down here in the Southeast of the US we dont get much coverage of Soccer on TV... ( every now and then on ESPN )... but I looked up the dude.
He has great Numbers... maybe he could have been better than Pele...
Hum, I guess you could call Pele the best goal maker? Haha. It's all very variable, as there are different kinds of players. A Player that Makes a lot of successful goal passes can be as effective to a team as the one that scores the goal. I don't know if I am explaining myself well but... oh well.

worth to add: there was a penalty that wasn't marked that would have been the second of Mexico.
