He kicked the turf.

Yeah, create lots of space, move defenders around, get them tired and create gaps for through balls etc.... France, Brazil both do this well, France winning the world cup would make a good tribute to Zizou quitting the game, the bloke is a legend and it's very rare you see him arguing,diving,abusing other players or ref's, great player and he should go out at the top.
Although germany are gathering momentum also, Italy are up and down and Portugal don't seem good enough.

maradona is never the best player... because he had one good tournament (that he needed to cheat in to win it) and a few good years for napoli?! 90 he wasnt great and 94 he was kicked out for coke abuse

Yeah he's past it now, had a bad season with Madrid also which is a wonder why he ever went but when your in a Brazil shirt, and your in the squad of 23 all 23 players get the same amount of backing from it's countrymen, I think the left back role shall be left to Gilberto/Gustavo Nery from now on.
Brazil are known for being bad defenders but they have the right idea, score more than the opposition, you can't do that by having 10 men behind the ball and 1 upfront, which is what England need to work on, unfrotunately for Brazil, this time it didn't work, but nevermind, look forward to Copa America and the Brasiliero Serie A with Corinthians.

Narrow minded comments like this don't deserve a reply, but you'll get one anyway as I have a good arguement, Pele help his nation to 3 world cup victories,10 State League titles,2 Roca Cup titles,5 Brazilian cups,2 Liberatodores titles,State top scorer for 11 seasons,Brazilian cup to scorer 3 times,Liberatodores top scorer,and South America's top player for 5 years running.
What's your next move?

I think you can argue who was the best but I can only narrow it down to Pele, George Best, Marradona, Zidane, Eusebio.
Pele helped his nation win more world cups but they all had different talents and in their own rights were better at certain things etc....
For me it's Pele, the impact he had on the game bares no comparison for me, Best and Marradona let things get in the way of their football, Zidane makes the game look simple and effortless and even though he's slower and less mobile now, he is still in my eyes one of the best on the planet, Eusebio was a great individual talent but didn't win enough.

pele invented things and showed them on the pitch.....like that blind pass to Carlos Alberto if iirc in 1970
with 1200 goals, you can't be wrong

Granted he is one of the greats but i would have him in 4th place behind Marradona, Zidane and Johan Cruijff.
He scored alot of goals granted (but in a more free scoring and open play style of football) and New York Cosmos at the end of his carear yet face it Major league soccer has always been pretty poor.
Sunday league is an exaderation (bar in the case of MLS)
Though he is the first real superstar of football and has done alot of good work.
though i still think gurd mullers 14 goals in 10 world cup games is the greatest feat from on indiviual player in a world cup.
