  1. I think the biggest beneficially of Pele's legacy are for sure Americans, the rest of the world would have still caught up. I as an African who played this game since childhood iam probably more impressed with American women players. They can for sure play this game.

  3. Never seen much of him playing but Ik he’s a legend, we lost the two greats in Pele and Maradona but they will live on through this sport forever ♾ 🙏🏽

  9. He had no reason to leave Brasil as Brasil was one of the Meccas of world Football. He, also, made alot of money, for those days , with Santos. European clubs could not give him a better deal.

  23. If there is one thing Pele deserves is that americans start calling 'soccer', football. And no. Football is not called Joga Bonito. Its called futebol. The Brazilian playing style is 'Joga Bonito'. Greatest sportsman who has ever been alive!!

  30. Legend and global superstar that very few athletes will ever come close to being. You know he was at that level when even here in NZ his death was leading the 6pm news coverage on all our main news networks

  32. I used to think every investor goes broke during a bear market and other major crashes but wrong! some make millions, I also thought everybody went out of business during the great depression but they didn't, some went into business, there's always depression/recession for some people and there's always profits to be made for others, it's all about perspective and right trading plan.

  35. you could never convey the profound impact he had on the game and on the hearts and minds of those who adore the game. his accomplishments are peerless, reputation unblemished and above all a man of great humanity.

  39. If you want to learn about Pelé here are 7 impressive facts about Pelé

    Pls do forward and post, thread and whatever. No credit to me necessary!

    1. Goal scoring average of 0.92 overall and 0.83 with the national team, well above Messi, Cristiano or Mardonna.

    2. Played the world cup four times in 58, 62, 66 and 70. Won world cup three times in 58, 62 and 70 (more than any other player). He also scored in all world cups he played in, and in two of the finals (58 and 70).

    2. Roma, Benfica, Manchester United and Real Madrid all tried to sign Pelé. He refused, since during his career he was certain south american leagues were more competitive.

    3. There were no substitutions, red card or yellows to protect strikers and star players in Pelé’s brutal era. Pelé was hunted off the pitch with injuries in two different world cups: 62 and 66 (only one he lost). The colored cards were introduced only in the 1970 world cup, inspired in part by Pelé’s ordeal and he won again!

    4. Pelé made the choice to retire from the national team early, only at 30. He could have had even more chances to win the world cup, like Messi at 35.

    5. He won two libertadores and club world championships and was a prolific winner in multiple tours against the major teams and champions of Europe.

    6. As viral videos have been showing, he was not just a goal scorer, he perfected several dribbling skills and finishes that players now imitate or reimagine bcs he broke barriers.

    7. Pelé was elected the athlete of his century by both Fifa and the olimpic committee in separate occasions. He was also awarded 7 ballon d’ors to tie Messi in a revision by France Football to include South American Players that werent eligble before.

    I ask, if football was so much “easier” or less evolved, why weren’t there more Pelé’s in his time, scoring as much as he did, winning as much as he did?

  42. So lucky that I got to watch him play for the Cosmos back in the day as a wee child including that last game with Santos. Absolute legend!! Rest in peace Pele.

  46. Lack of competitive football made him out of GOAT debate. Pele's era was way easier. 10/12 teams football tournaments can’t be compared with competitive 24/32 teams World Cups of modern times.

    Btw, an football icon without a doubt.

  48. 2022 is the end of the old football era and the beginning of the other.
    Lionel Messi had won the World Cup, and a few days later, Pele dies peacefully.
    Rest in Peace O Rei.
