Since its debatable about who is the best footballer of all time. Here I am conducting a poll to find out who is the next Pele.
Maradonna claimed he is the best with majority of the world populace or the masses including web denizens voting for him
There is a separate group, especially FIFA et la or officialdom , voting for Pele.
Messi I noted has a poll here. Will he assume Maradonna's title? Thats for you to decide.
Similarly I have this poll for you to decide who is the next Pele. Since a number of you have called Rooney the white Pele.
IMO its Mario - a natural (not just because of his skin colour only or like mine ) - the one and only black Pele.
Vote your say!

no one will be the next pele...
every footballer want to be themselves

no one want to be recognize as other people

Rooney will still be Rooney
C.Ronaldo will still be C.Ronaldo
and Balotelli what else can u ask from him he just being himself

LOL..every young players compared to the seniors players..but as they mature..they will be recognized by their own name..as simple as that..no one will be the next pele...it just an early comparison..thats all..

All you mention above already better than Pele now

u open this thread becoz balotelli scored 2 goal against german?? btw there is no next pele, next maradona, next zidane..etc...

voted Rooney for the lulz

balo. cause he's a *.

No player is going to be better than Pele unless they have at least one World Cup medal in their bag.

Then only we start to talk.

carroll?

ronaldo is better than pele how culd it be the next pele?

i will choose balotelli base on his semifinal performance

but hope he maintain it in next world cup

rooney also has a superb debut in 2004 euro but fumble in the next few euro and world cup.

Some overrated british young talent will be hyped up as the next pele... marked my words.

There's already one, the white Pele of England

There is only one Pele.

And Rooney, Cristiano and Balotelli are overrated. Joey Barton kicks ass.

Lol.

pele scored a 1500 goals. won the world cup at the age of 17 playing a key role.

Yes but football these days are tougher. Messi will score more and more goals for barca.

I agree, Messi and C Ronaldo is two of the greatest player in the La Liga.
Both pace, technical are far more better than Pele.

Pele is a Legend, no one can take his place.
We are talking two different century player and there are lot of different now.

Messi is the best player in the current moment but they are lot that are close with it.

Player like C Ronaldo, David Silva, Batolli and more is coming close.
