The OG GOAT.

Every now and then I stumble on this sequence - goal no.5 vs. England. Pure genius and chess by Pele.

I'm posting this video mainly because Ibrahimovic's name has been showing on the forum's start page since 15 July (even under the "Legends and retired players" section ) enough is enough

Pele himself and people who witnessed it call it his greatest goal. With this early poor AI tech, I understand the concept, but it's a circus goal in my view. Pele's goal against Sweden in the 1958 World Cup final is similar and more complex to execute.

One shlouldn't judge these players from half a century ago based on videos. I bet they would look far far better in contemporary circumstances. Be it diet, facilities, technology, generally resources invested into football.
Talent like Pele if he was born 20 years ago and went through all this improved circumstances would probably be a Pele now.
