RE: Under 10

nazim of maadi, egypt asks...

who do you thhink is better pele or diego armando maradona?.did ronaldo come back to play?is he still in inter milan?.what is the real name of pele?

Answer provided by Referee stewart

My own opinion is that Pele was the better complete footballer with tremendous skills although there is not much between them. I also have the opinion that Pele has been a better ambassador for the game. Ronaldo has returned to playing football after months of niggling injuries and has played again for Inter Milan. He will be part of the Brazilian squad at the World Cup in Japan. Edson Arantes do Nascimento is the name that Pele was christened on October 23rd, 1940.
