Yeah looks like you know next to nothing about what you speak. > Pele may have been injured early, but his performance in their first games are still important. If they lost those games, they would have been kicked out of the tournament early. Right. You are a joke. The one game he played was what won Brazil the WC that year. In 62 it was Garrincha who took Brazil to the promised land. Benezema has a winners medal too btw. Yeah I stand by the shit league comment. They didn't even have proper record keeping so the 1200+ goals is a bad claim. He was surrounded by great players at the WC Jairzinho, Gérson, Tostão, Rivelino in 1970. You are comparing that to Burucchaga and Voldano. Lol. I sincerely hope you bring more rigor to your day job. > His more than 1000 goals are all attested to by FIFA. Lol. Pelé included goals scored in friendlies or matches against semi-professional or even amateur teams. These facts are not even in dispute Christ, you are not even wrong. |
He played two games, not one game as you claim (a factual error). He also actually played, and scored, unlike Benzema. And, as I said, if they lost the games he played in, they would have been kicked out. You have addressed none of these facts, and have resorted to name calling and ad-hominem attacks.

So if it was a shit league how come players in that league won the world cup 3 times in 12 years? All his goals are well attested to (do your research), I'm not sure what you mean by lack of proper record keeping.

Please read my earlier comment in reply to this argument of yours.
> You are comparing that to Burucchaga and Voldano. Lol. I sincerely hope you bring more rigor to your day job.
Hmmm, Valdano for example, won the UEFA cup with Real Madrid in 1986, scoring twice in the final. He also scored several important goals (4 in all) in the world cup that year. If that is a mediocre player then Pele's team-mates were also mediocre.
> Pelé included goals scored in friendlies or matches against semi-professional or even amateur teams. These facts are not even in dispute.
They are still goals, no? They are all certified by FIFA. You claimed they are "suspect", the implication being that they are somehow not genuine or falsified.
> Christ, you are not even wrong.
Indeed, I am not wrong because I am arguing based on facts, not irrational emotion.
