Today we are going to discuss the #2 player of all time.
Wilson Hatcher picks Pele. No one in my life time will ever top his stats, over 1,ooo goals, played in 4 World Cups and he won 3 of them. He changed the way that the world looked at soccer.
Brazil 1970 World Cup
Everette Hatcher picks Cristiano Ronaldo and here is the opinion I got off the internet:
“He is the best that is, that was and that will be. Better than Lionnel Messi or Rooney. His free kicks, his dribbles, his shots and his high class on the pitch. May be he has another skills that we don’t know. Remember, before Messi he was the winner of the fifa golden ball. Don’t be stupid and vote the best player.
“yes he is the best… I literally worship him… he should be the no.1.. he is the most skilled player in the world
“Ronaldo is simply amazing. He make soccer a show and entertains. He shows up and shows what he is mad of good or bad. Pele is the only one that can beat him.
Cristiano Ronaldo 2008-2009
1Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento)
“This is a century old question that will impact future generations, some say that he won everything with the best team, but in that same thought, remember this is a team game. Pele was terror to any goalie, he only presence in the area shuke fear in their very core. But beyond that a player goes beyond the field, sets standards of living for other players and fans, the only one to positively do this is not but Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, any more questions check his numbers.
“Just look at his goals on You Tube, he could whack the from a mile out or dribble them into the back of the net, he was the most complete player the game has ever seen and unlike modern players didn’t have the comfort of referees protection… opposing players tried to kick him off the park. I remember seeing him in the early 70’s and frankly it was a time to really watch football rather than spoilt brats thinking they are a lot better than they really are.
“When you see this guy play, it’s like everything else around you doesn’t matter. The ringing phone doesn’t disturb you. The chatter of the people makes no impact on you at all. It’s just him, him and his game. Pele wasn’t just another amazing football player, he was an excellent one, a prodigy, incomparable, and probably, someone this world will never see again in the next 100 years. He simply is, a football legend.

“ronaldo is the greatest striker ever played football with that speed an skill he’s the best ever may i call him the phonomonen, the king , the number 9,the best ever rooooooooooooooooooonaldo
“He’s number two not three.. he’s 10 times better than cristiano and right before the king pele.
“Deadly striker. A perfectly – complete player ; no flaws!
“Maradona is the best player ever, and the second one is Messi. His playing skills were simply marvelous, amazing just like maradona. They have perfect ball controlling ^^ dribbler ability.
“ronaldo = fake of soccer
messi = genius of soccer
pele = king of soccer
maradona = god of soccer
ONLY MARADONA!
“maradona lived in a more modern day soccer while pele was great but he played in a time where the game was so slow. and I’m not talking about physical side I’m talking about the mental and tactical part of the game. even maradona’s time was slow compared to today. I give pele huge props but maradona was just better.
“Put France back onto the worldwide football map.
His playing skills were simply marvelous, amazing, punctuated in my opinion by his incredible performance against Brazil in the 2006 FIFA World Cup. At that point of his career he was more Brazilian than any Brazilian at the time.
Always present when needed, he led France to back-to-back major championships in 1998 and 2002.
Came back in 2006 and almost won it for France in overtime with another amazing headshot (his specialty in the Finals) blocked by a certain Gianluigi Buffon, at the top of his craft.
Zidane’s name should be well ahead of the two Ronaldo’s. Cristiano is a great player but he hasn’t won anyhting worthy now and probably won’t.
“Zindane is higher than Ronaldhino.
Ronaldhino cant play big games. He can never use his tricks when he play. The fake u-tube video(gitting the post several times) does not make him great.
Pele …dont know about hi. Looking at the videos, i dont think he can be compared to Zidane.
Football was different then. It was not competetive.
Pele is better than general but not great because he did not face great opposition and he didnt have magic touches like zidane or other players have these days. he was just a mere shooter like Trazeguet….he got lucky. But zico is better in Brazilian player.
“zidane is first period. there is no question he may not have been the shooter or scored the most goals. but he lead his teams they did not even need there coach they could just follow there amazing player who’s passing and way of looking at the game surpasess any player.
“just incredible by far the best could have rivalled pele in his day
FANTASTIC PICMENT OF BRAZILLIAN AND FOOTBALL OVERALL
“He is unarguably the best player I have ever Seen. His dribbling abilities are mesmerizing his passes n free kicks are awesome, bust most important of all,… he is a team player unlike C. Ronaldo… I simply love him…
“RONALDINHO… NIGHTMARE OF ANY DEFENDER
perfest tricks, speed and preciseness… shame he had to leabve FCB
“messei is genius no one can be better then him and I wish he play good ever as he is now doing it he can dribble ronado ronaldino and anyone that think he can cheat messie he nithing to messie
“Well, you can just compare people. You can’t compare Pele with anyone because he is dead. But watch Barcelona – Real Madrid. Messi just beated Cristiano. Everybody saw that.
Then, Ronaldinho is worse too. And people, why do you think Messi is the most expensive player in the world? Why does Barcelona give him 31 million a year? Because he deserves it!
And Brazilian Ronaldo… well a great player of course but not such a scorer as Leo Messi.
Overall, this is MY list of active players(I’m 12 years old, never saw Pele or Ronaldo or Maradona or Zidan playing)
1. Leonel Messi
2. Wayne Rooney
3. Cristiano Ronaldo
4. Steven Gerrard
5. Xavi
Well, that’s it. Then come Barcelona players, Manchester Utd. players, English and Spanish players.

“I was born in 1980 ^^ in my lifetime watching Football Lionel Messi is one of the greatest I have ever seen. To top that he has been awarded FIFA player of the year more than two times, he still has more to arhcieve ^^ that is to be the number one player ever.
