I still believe International Superstar Soccer is the standard against which the real world should be judged. But that's me.
As for Pelé x Maradona, well, there's not even much of a debate, I think, not outside the head of Argentinian lunatics.
To me, the best moment of Pelé was not a goal he scored (and he had freaking great ones, e.g.:

The space below is reserved for bickering/complaining about bad refereeing if US loses, or hurrays and hurrahs if US wins
May the better team win!

cheap goal. You have a good offense but your defense is really really lacking. I don't think your defenders have even heard of the term covering other players.

USA lost, but also, the players were very tired by then.

That was one painfully obvious goal.

Gutted. I had a bet on Germany beating England 3-1. That made me very popular at the betting office... Final score: Germany 4 England 1. What did they have to score that extra fucking goal for?

If I was English I'd be absolutely raging. Capello doesn't have a clue. He plays everyone in the wrong positions and when they're 3-1 down and need to score quickly he brings on Heskey!
To top it all off, after the game he tries to claim that they played well (lolno), while speaking very broken English and needing to rely on an interpreter. What a farce. How's he supposed to deliver rousing team talks and good instructions if he can't even speak English?
