The Betis - Sevilla derby is awesome, i followed Betis a bit after we played em in the Cup Winners' Cup in 2 legs the year we won it and these matches were really fiery. Betis imo have the better team this season, the place will go insane if they win and i thoroughly believe they will.

"When Messi's scored 1,283 goals like me, when he's won three World Cups, we'll talk about it," Pelé told Le Monde. "Football changes. Records are there to be broken, but it will be hard to break mine. "People always ask me: 'When is the new Pelé going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory."

"I like Messi a lot, he's a great player," Pelé replied when asked who his favorite current player is. "Technically, we're practically at the same level."

But Pelé was also quick to point out that Messi has not scored at the same rate for Argentina in big tournaments. Messi failed to score in the 2010 World Cup and Copa America last year, and has a modest tally of 19 goals in 67 international matches.

"He's a great player for Barcelona, but when he plays for Argentina, he doesn't have the same success," Pelé said.

Pelé also believes he may have had more natural ability than Messi.

"No one knew which foot I was going to shoot with, I was two-footed. I also scored a lot of goals with my head," Pelé said.

However, Pelé knows that the debate over who is the world's greatest ever player always will divide opinion.

"Some people will say Beethoven couldn't play the piano. Others will say Michelangelo couldn't paint and that Pelé couldn't play football," he said. "But we all received a gift from God."

He never shuts up lol. We already payed for his big mouth in losing Neymar.

I'm mildly surprised he hasn't had another go at Maradona, tbh.

Lmao for all his arrogance, he is f*cking hilarious

Messi can use both feet too and Messi can dribble a hell of a lot better than Pele ever could oh and look at the club level Messi is playing at.... Pele scored in world cups yeah, scored against many average team in world cups too and he scored all his club goals in Brazil ... Messi is not even 25 yet and his stats are ridiculous.

Lol at "my father and mother have closed the factory"

Barcelona beating Malaga 3 to 0.

Now the preassure back on Real Madrid, who will play A. Bilbao.

Bilbao tied against Barcelona last time they played, so lets see what they can do.

I think Madrid has too much fire power for them, but you never know.

[Peace. 4,352]

Bilbao scoring ! Come on ! Hold this score please.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Llorente's goal was brilliant!

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Infatic Pen. Ronaldo scores, 2-1 Torres's (Couldn't help it) goal redundant

[Fernando 6,585]

I am amazed that Bilbao plays this good, while Chelsea with all this money we spend, can't string a couple of good passes!

[zolayes 14,489]

and pele will still only say Messi is a good player.

Great news!

Pathetic Madrid will go crazy after he leaves.

Hope AVB can get a good deal for some player from there.

I want Canales!
