The thing many forget about Pelé's time is that his teammates he was playing with were also Brazilian legends. Altafini, Coutinho, Didi, Garrincha, Pepe, Vavá, Zagallo etc. They've been an absolut dream team. When Brazil won the WC in 1962, Pelé injured himself in the second game of the group stages and Brazil still EASILY won the whole thing.
Brazil without Pelé:
last game of the group stages against Spain: Brazil 2 - Spain 1
quarter finals: Brazil 3 - England 1
semi finals: Brazil 4 - Chile 2
finals: Brazil 3 - Czechoslovakia 1
So Pelé has a World Cup to his name in which he did not even participate for 180 minutes. Put Messi in such a team (today's Spain) and he'll win the World Cup 3 times, too. Maradona might be the only player who really won a World Cup by himself. That and his achievements with Napoli make him the greatest player of all time for me. Pelé does not even come close. In fact, most Brazilian's regard Garrincha as a better player than Pelé.
