Peter Crouch was the greatest footballer of all time. If you guys didnât see that I pity you.
Somehow Kane isnât the ugliest Spurs striker Iâve known
Donât tell me she belongs in the other thread. Iconic career. Almost made it to another NYEs party.

Have no idea what her personal views were.
Hit me in the feels- she was born about three weeks before my Dad.
I believe she is the one confirmed that Santa wasnât real when I was in second grade. They told parents to send kids out of the room but mom was busy with something so I just said âwhatâs this all aboutâ. She gets no credit for my next realization in 5th grade catechism.

I believe she hosted the View so probably just the standard Yas Kween shitlib type stuff
Yea not sure why but I got a little sad when I heard. I was not a huge fan or anything, and I rarely care about celebrity deaths, but she thereâs just some sort of nostalgia surrounding her for me.
I wonder what percentage of Americans 18 or older recognize her voice immediately. Sheâs got to be one of the most recognized voices of all time.
Of the two people in this skit and the two people being portrayed, the real Kissinger is now the only one still alive.

Barbara Walters made people cry one last time.
(cue the âcelebrities waiting for her in heavenâ cartoons)
Right this is what my comment was about to begin with
Guardian lists are usually not atrocious and I think that list is also not atrocious considering itâs WC only and is also from 2014. Biggest question mark associated with Pele is that one scene in Victory when Michael Caine is doing a mortifying job diagramming a soccer play on a chalkboard but then Pele gets up and says nah he can just dribble here here here and then here and then score, and itâs a good moment because heâs pele and thatâs cool and in fact itâs such a good moment that nobody gives pele any weird looks for how he just diagrammed himself scoring a historically demented own goal. He then makes up for this oversight by scoring a bicycle kick on hitler while not being distracted by the distracting combo of an oboe and a defender jumping for a cross fifty feet over his head

Like pele he suffers from too few of the current generation of sports writers seeing him play.
Itâs like how some contemporary lists of greatest albums have few from before 1990.
Of course, but if your thesis is the popular one that unlike Maradona Pele didnât carry a team to WC victory more or less singlehanded (lol at that idea anyway) youâre missing necessary data.
And I donât believe you ever saw Cruyff or Pele play, but still have an opinion on their merits.
Fine as long as youâre ok with some annoying person in 30 years time who never saw him play insisting that Messi was overrated.
That will be less of a problem. In the future anyone who wanted die on this hill could be shown hours and hours of Messi GOATness in full HD. Canât do that with Pele. The footage doesnât exist.
Thereâs certainly enough to say that Pele was an all time great, even without the testimony of people who played with him and against him, and it doesnât need to be in full HD for that to be obvious.
Small story
Went to Barcelona a few years back. Caught a 10pm local time kickoff. Wife watches very little soccer
About 10 minutes in sheâs âwhoâs that heâs so goodâ
It was Messi obv
I think having non sports people being able to instantly realize this guy is on another level is pretty fun.
