600 goals for club and country.

[ccfc_is_my_life]

Pele scored over 1000.

I rest my case except to say he was a great team player
and he won 3 World Cup Winners medals.

Dream on Messi and Ronaldo.

Pele's goal tally has been questioned - padded with friendly game goals; was also achieved against some pretty poor teams it has to be said.

Messi is an enigma for me - doesn't look the same player at international level.

I've tried to avoid this thread but you are nuts he's averaged a goal every other game for Argentina and has had to carry the burden of Maradona his whole international career he somehow carried them to the world cup final and somehow got them to qualify for this year's world cup I just wish he could win the world cup so people would stop beating him with that stick

It is interesting to think that if Burrachaga had missed in 86 and Higuain had scored in 2014 we'd be saying that Messi had carried a team singlehandedly etc etc
