it's tough to go against pele. although after another impressive performance in the 2002 world cup ronaldo's world cup stats r nearly identical to pele's. the big difference being, at one point in time brazil named pele a national treasure. no other soccer player can make that claim. also, pele has a global fame, similar to michael jordan. you can say the name pele to someone who knows nothing about soccer, and they'll know who you're talking about
