"FIFA already made this poll, and Maradona won by far. I share what the mayority thinks."

This poll FIFA made was divided in two parts. The first part was a voting poll by internet, and anyone could vote. This one, Maradona won (most votes from Argentina).
The second part was a voting poll by football players, coaches, journalists, etc, and this one Pele won.

Maradona was a divine player, at the level of Cruyff, Garrincha, Rivelino, Socrates, Zico, Platini, Romario, Zidane and some others wonderful footballers...
But Maradona is not Pele, the Athlete of the Century (by International Olympic Comitee), the man who started to play in Santos' first eleven at the age of 15, who went to Brazil NT at the age of 16, who won his first World Cup at the age of 17 (and is the only player what won 3 World Cups), who scored 1280 goals in 1363 official matches, in a time when football was much harder for strikers.

A little reflextion:
you can find people of all countries who likes Pelé, everywhere BUT argentina...
Its impossible find an argentinian who says that pelé is better than maradona. You can even find a brazilian who recognize maradona over pelé...

I think Argentinian overrates Maradona because of that 2x1 over England in Word Cup 1986.
Argentina was still suffering for the Falklands/Malvinas defeat, and Maradona (who was a wonderful player) did the revenge with the "hand of god" (1x0) and a superb goal (2x0).
And he instantly became the best player in history (for Argentinians), when what we could say is that he was one of world best players in 80's.

I think the World Cup in 94 shows how important Maradona was to Argentina.
With = Practically unbeatable
Without = No where near as good

Of course in the second poll more Brazilian players were asked.
If you ask this for someone who watched both of them, he'll answer Pelé, for sure.
If you ask someone who didn't watch Pelé playing, maybe he can vote for Maradona.

That's true, but it's totally understandable. We have a lot of great players here, they are all in those polls about the best of the century. Garrincha, Zico, Falcão, Tostão, Romário, Zizinho, Leonidas da Silva, Ronaldo and so on... If you have some young that just watched Maradon, he maybe will say that he was better, even being brazilian.
Argentina has Maradona and... Hm... let me see... er... Ortega? Riquelme? Veron? Cannigia? :/ They are always trying to create a new Maradona after the first dribbling or goal of a player. They did it with Ortega, Saviola, Riquelme, D'Alessandro, Batistuta, and now it's Messi's time. :) Do they will never recognize that maradona wasn't the better player. The other great argentinian player was Di Stefano, but he chose Spain later. :p

Crap, the only thing seems to be that not enough Brazilians have voted in that poll. Argentinians vote Maradona, Brazilians vote Pelé. That makes neither one of them better, only more popular.
