And I suppose the world cup is a micky mouse cup?
Not quite sure what world cups have to do with it.
Well it counters the idea that Pele was dominating a weak league. The argument that Messi would have scored more if he played all his life in Brazil is easily countered by comparing their accomplishments in a competition in which they both played. The WC. By the age of 23 Pele and Messi have both been in 2 WCs. Pele scored 7 goals to Messi's 1 and won a SIlver ball, and a Silver boot, to Messi's none. And Oh! Yeah! 2 World Cups to Messi's none. So clearly it is hard to suggest Messi would have done better than he was doing in the Brazilian league, considering Messi is not doing remotely close to what he was doing at the same age at the WC.

Common on Bluemoon I think!
Dax has said everything I could ever say about the topic perfectly so I refer all posters quoting me back to him.
Hahah all good! Just came on this thread to see where we are at with Mata but got a surprise to see what all the talking was about.
Sorry mate. Sometimes we get bored with no news, so we dabble in other fantasies :)
