Califan007 The Constipated Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 "Sick" as in insanely talented...got damn... I never got to see Pele during his peak, so went searching on youtube to see if there were any highlight videos...of course there were many..lol...I swear he plays like he's a cross between Barry Sanders and Wayne Gretzky. :notworthy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVwqtfCLZmk&search=pele And if you can stand watching a little longer (lol), he absolutely embarasses entire defenses singlehandedly in this video--taking on 5-6 guys at a time, passing to himself between defender's legs...it's insane...to the point that they start purposefully fouling him hard as their only way of stopping him (and of course he makes them pay..lol): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgnLin8Zkgs&search=pele He almost makes soccer look exciting...lol :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteve Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 And to think some people don't believe if Barry Sanders had been a soccer player all his life he couldn't be elite. Only a select few people are blessed with eye/foot reflex and co-ordination like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a select few people are blessed with eye/foot reflex and co-ordination like that. That is exactly who I thought of when I watched Pele. The ability to completely turn on a dime at a full sprint is something I only saw those two people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
