Maradona v Pele:
Argentina's problem is that they're coached by Maradona at the moment and while he was a great player is a disaster as a coach. Usually, Argentina are a brilliant side but so long as Maradona is in charge they've really struggled.
The problem with comparing Pele with Maradona is that they played in such different eras. Pele's more like an immovable icon, a bit like Muhammed Ali in boxing.

Ronaldo and Rooney are no match for Messi.

For much of the season I thought Rooney had overtaken him, and I still think Rooney is Messi's only real competition at the moment. At their best they're equally unstoppable, as would be any team who were able to bring them together as a strikeforce. Messi and Rooney up front and Ronaldo playing on the right would just be ridiculous. Unplayable.
