IMO there are now 4 players on "GOD-like" tier of football.
Pele, Maradona, Messi and Ronaldo.
yes, you can say messi and ronaldo never won a world cup but its a team that decides that, not an individual player.
maradona may have dragged Argentina to a world cup single handedly, but how much defending did he do? same with Pele.
Individually, at their respective peaks, i think these 4 were/are head, shoulders and knees above every other footballer in their generation.
