[quote=ARROWSHIFI,388903]Pele and Maradona? What's interesting about these two great players are they have a few things in common. They were born in the same month and are from South America. Pele was born on 10/23/40 and Maradona on 10/30/60, same zodiac sign. They both won their last World Cup Championships in the same country, Mexico. Pele won in 1970 and Maradona won in 1986. It was during the 1970 World Cup in Mexico Maradona said he wanted to be like Pele. He was 10 years old at the time. This is one of the reasons why he also wore the number 10. They both played in four World Cups. Pele - 1958, 1962, 1966 & 1970 and Maradona - 1982, 1986, 1990 & 1994.
What makes Pele better? Check it: (1) Pele scored in two World Cup finals - 1958 (2 goals) and 1970 (1 goal), making him one of only 4 players to achieved this. Maradona never scored in a final. (2) Pele won three World Cup championships - 1958, 1962 & 1970. Maradona won only once in 1986 and last but not least and most importantly (3) Pele is the youngest player to score in a final and World Cup. He was 17 years and 249 days in 1958. 
Maradona and the world should show some respect for the Great Black Pearl, Pele.
