  1. In the great GOAT debate, just for the record, Pelé didn’t officially score 1,283 goals. Pelé did score 1,283 goals, but 526 goals came in unofficial friendlies and tour games. He even counted games he played for the Sixth Coast Guard in the military competition. He officially scored 757 goals in 812 games. Moreover, strictly speaking, Pelé didn’t really ‘win’ 3 World Cups; he won 2 and a bit. Yes, he was a member of three World Cup-winning teams, but he sat out the large majority of the 1962 World Cup. All that said, he was still a terrific player, right up there in my top 5. Picking a number 1 is always an invidious task, and always depends on where and when you were born, but if I had to, yes, I’d probably pick Pelé. Just. However, if Mbappé stays healthy and motivated, I wouldn’t be surprised to be sitting here saying he’s the GOAT in 10 years’ time! ⚽️
