Reply to comment by jert3 in Brazilians to bid final farewell to Pelé with 24-hour wake and coffin procession by ladyem8
While Messi is a GOAT I doubt any player could overtake Pele.
Especially the time he played. Most people couldn't watch him week in week out. You had to wait till the world cup or when Santos was playing friendly games in your country to see him so he became a living legend.
I live in Ireland and could possibly see Messi play live for around €100 or watch him for free on TV.
That wasn't possible with Pele
