WC GOAT

[IsaacOkoroWan]

Who is the greatest World Cup player of all time?

[sydneyyx]

Tough call. For me it’s Pelé, just the three wins alone is insane, but Maradona in ’86 basically carried his whole team on his back.

[luxxen]

Maradona in '86 was pure magic, but Pelé winning three is just untouchable tbh. Can't argue with either pick.

[autumneon]

Pelé’s three wins just can’t be beat, that’s like a permanent flex no one’s touching

[Xorna]

Feels like it always comes down to those two, but I’d still give the edge to Pelé just because doing it across three tournaments is a different kind of legacy.

[thoxurus]

Does your pick change if you weigh peak performance versus overall career?

[Ryxlyn]

Cant look passt Pele really, three cups just ends the debate before it starts

Miroslav Klose

Pele is the safe bet every time but watching Maradona drag Argentina through that 86 semi against Belgium was just filthy, like odds on him scoring that secoond solo goal were probably nonexistent.

[emberarys49]

My grandad still goes misty eyed describing that 1970 Brazil team, says watching Pele lay it off for Carlos Alberto felt like a magic trick in slow motion.

[Gauzeess]

my uncle still swears he saw maradonas handball live and the whole pub just lost their minds arguing for hours lol

[Peltaeund]

Pele got three but the caliber of defenders back then was suspect so I dunno.

[havenriry]

I remember watching Zidane in the 2006 final and even with the headbutt, his penalty against Buffon earlier was so casual it felt like he was just passing it into an opne net in training.

[Shredorora0]

I still remember watching Ronaldo in 2002 after that horrific injury and my dad saying he would never be the same, then he just casually bagged both goals in the finla like it was nothing.

Pail

Are you talking about Mercy??

[mubarhaq]

Messi

Ankara messi

[zyxirlor21]

if you judge purely by clutch moments nobody touches maradona in 86, but honestly the stat that blows my mind is klose scoring 16 goals while never really looking like a superuman athlete
