WHEN WE TALK OF GOALS TODAY AND THE PELE ERA REMEMBER THOSR GOAL POSTS WERE VERY MUCH SMALLER.

 We re talking today of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel messi scoring  over eight hundred goals.

 Pele scored  over  1,200 goals    ad both F,I,F,A and the Guines record acknowledge it.

 But you must remember a few things Peles period the goal posts we smaller, the ball was harder nd tackling was fiercer , and thy did tackling sliding into players.

Now tackling from back sliding is a yellow card. This rule was introduced attrite career of the great Marco Van Basten ended due to tackling by sliding in.
