@avro007 There's no biased comentary here except of your commentary.
Better than any South American player? hahahaha
You're crazy. Pelé said he loved the way that Best played but not that he was the best, which is obviously wrong.

Garrincha was the best dribbler of all time.
George Best was a very good one, a real cracking player , but he never had a chance to perform in the highest levels as Garrincha did. Unfortunately he played for Northern Ireland and ManUnited (the English league was terrible at the time). His peak was in 1968 when he won the European Cup against Benfica playing superbly. But Mane played in that level for years and years.

Garrincha was a dream player blessd with every attacking gift,dribbling&creativty aside he used to score from corner kicks too,infact he did it 4times. George on the other hand was also genuis in his own. C both hd gr8 sucess bt dey wer both mavericks. Both nvr realised their full talent, garrincha dint knw abt fame and best knw too much abt it.both wer alcoholic. Bt btwn d two garrincha was more talentd.

best was something rare in english football which has never been known as a haven of dribblers,great individualists but the brazilian game was packed with individual talents...joel,dorval,mama,jul
inho,jairzinho,edu pepe all great wingers who'd be revelations in european football just look at how highy revered the likes of jair and canario were when they came over yet garrincha towers over them all...an then some -
best was wonderful but garrincha was truly from another planet both in skills,touch,elasticity and in dead ball situations he could make the ball do anything plus he was a revelation even in brazil in the 50-60's a country full of individualists,great dribblers and astonishing talents not to mention the fact he played against far better opposition as the english 1st division arguably was weaker than the carioca,sao paolo-rio championships.bets was great but garrincha was something more.

garrincha and best were magicians....if i had to pick it would be mane but this is a video tribute to both.naaaa100 seems to know his stuff

george simply doesnt compare to mane..he did more was far more skilled more explosive extraordianry shooting ability to sweve the ball inside or out dangerous from free kicks headers and that ungodly dribbling ability that best simply doesnt have there is a cat like quality to garrinchas moves that bestie donesnt have..any expert even british will say mane was better... bobby moore ray wilson bobby charlton are all on record saying garrincha was superior.vote with ya head not heart
In order: Garrincha, pele, maradona. Who is georg best?
