Maradona, because compared to Pele when Maradona played he was surrounded by pants players whereas Pele was surrounded with great players.  This shows that Maradona won his world cups basically single handed.

pele and maradona were both very skilled on the pitch but pele is a much better role model as he was very sensible as a person off the pitch.pele could also use both feet and didnt need a hand to win.

Pele won as a player 3 world Cups, but only played in 2 finals as he was injured for the 1962 victory. \n\nHe was hacked out of the 66 world cup by Portugal, and as we know England won it. He said at the time he would not play in a World Cup again but he was back and what a great team that 1970 one was.

Ronaldinho is the best player in the world at the moment. He is an incredibly gifted and skillful player. The greatest of all time is Pele.

Pele, the most impacting player to ever play the game. One reason he was signed to professional soccer in the U.S. was the name recognition he had with soccer fans and non-soccer fans alike. Hoping to build from this recognition, pro-soccer would have its best chance to survive in the Untied States.

Ronaldo has been one of the best forwards player in the football history, even tough, currently Ronaldinho is playing at a highest level, he is probably the best player in the world. C.Ronaldo is pretty far from the level of the first two.

Maradona was the best football player, but Pele was the best professional football player.

Puskas was the greatest.\nRemember that he was outstanding in two different decades in football (1950s and 1960s) and even in the mid 1960s in the Spanish league there was a game when he scored five goals!\nDon't forget that Puskas was playing in an era where there was a lot more physical contact e.g. two-footed tackles from behind were still legal. There is no doubt that he would still be outstanding in today's game. His technique and accuracy was something else.\nAnd it wasn't just the goals, but the way he brought others into the game that made him the greatest player ever. A great leader.\n(By the way, a lot of Pele's 1,000 goals were in exhibition matches)

I never saw Pele play but I watched Maradona in WC'86 and even though I'm an Englishmen, his performance was the greatest ever in my opinion.\nI would rate him above Pele for that reason alone. However my favorite player was Michel Platini of France.

Pele was completely dominant on the field. He played for a longer amount of time at a high level. He had field vision, ball skills that make you sick, a shot, and was the vision of excellence. He is the picture perfect poster boy for soccer. \nMaradona on the other hand was a extremely talented player. His ball skill was awesome. Have you watched any of the 1982 or 1986 world cup games. He could single handedly dribble through half of the opposing team and tap it in the net. He could have rivaled Pele for the "title" best ever...but as we all know he let it slip. Drugs and obesity did not fair well for him. \nPele will forever be the epitome of football! Viva Pele!

Ronaldihno is the best ever. Pele didnt have the competition that ronaldihno has. granted there were quality players then, but there are many more today that ronladihno has beaten and outshined! that crooked toothed brazilian has more talent in his pinky finger than pele's whole body.
