You can see it in clips, don't have to be around to know from a clip that a game moves far slower.Jaydog wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 6:49 pm How do you know Cjay. Were you alive then. You’re just guessing. Pele looked an athlete to me, so did Maradonna and plenty of others for that matter.
Comparisons are odious and completely pointless as I’ve said before. The one thing players today have, well all elite sportsman for that matter, huge obscene amounts of money.
Tbh obviously Messi is brilliant but I preferred watching Zidane at international level. Couldn’t care less who was best. And calling Messi the greatest player of all time is laughable. If you say that you’re comparing positions too. Best number 10 maybe but best player regardless of position. No. Don’t believe in that accolade
Same as you don't have to be around to know people who drink tons of booze and do drugs and smoke packets of fags a day arent going to be elite athletes, that's just common sense hence why athletes of all sports don't do it now generally.
Don't have to take my word for it

There is a huge difference between the fitness of footballers today and the speed of the game and 30,40 years ago.
Best number 10 over Pele and Maradona, that'll do
