It's actually the other way around. I'm so sick of hearing about Neymar. He hasn't done anything to earn his hype! Messi has.

Neymar is an awesome player, but nowhere near Messi. Pele just proved that A. he doesn't watch futbol, and B. He's completely out of his Fing mind.

You need three things to stay a world class athlete. Skill, consistency and luck (no injuries etc..). The first one almost all pro athletes have, the second one only a select handful have, and the third almost none have.

Any athlete can become world class, but it's all about if you can stay there, that is what separates the greats from the rest of the field.

Right i'm willing to back pele up on most things, but this is downright stupid. How about we wait till the World Cup. If Neymar some how carries the team to the World Cup and WINS it. Then yes maybe then talks can easily be put. As of now hes some idiot with a Mohawk.
