    Default Soccer - Greatest goal scorer ever

    Pele. You often hear about it. Until you see him play, you never understand that yeah, he is the best offensive player ever to play the game.

    The man is amazing to watch and his famous "back-flip" kick still makes me go WOW!

    "Bicycle kick" bro. Yeah, as somebody commented on the vid, it's hard to compare players from different eras. Pele was an unbelievable athlete, with sick skills - and he made the bicycle kick almost a signature (high school guys are doing this move now).

    Search some Ronahldino clips. A master of deception. The guy like hypnotizes defenders or something.

    I'm familiar with Ronaldinho. Without a doubt he is gifted. But he has a different style. It is possible to compare the two players even though they are from different eras. You can just see it in how they are on the ball. The ball doesn't lie. However, they have different styles, which is where the difficulty comes in. Ronaldinho is a creator. He is not the finisher Pele is. However, Pele is the better offensive player, in my opinion. Having said that, Ronaldinho should hold a place in the midfield on anyone's "greatest of all time" all star team. Along with Zidane.
