He is 82 but it's still very sad.

I think Pele is a real link to a different time in football. I remember world cups were exciting because they were the only way to see certain players. Who had ever heard of Roger Milla? There were also new approaches to playing football - Dutch total football being a prime example. It's not the same now. Not saying it's worse, but maybe less exciting?

The end comes to us all, but what a player and career. Must be one of the few players to be literally declared a national monument and thus not allowed to transfer out the country until his mid 30's

Brazil great Pele says he is "strong with a lot of hope" as he undergoes treatment in hospital in Sao Paulo.
In a statement released on Saturday he said messages of support as well as watching Brazil at the World Cup had given him "energy".
Earlier the hospital had said he was "still undergoing treatment and remains stable".
It follows a report in Brazil that he was beginning end-of-life care after not responding to chemotherapy.
"My friends, I want to keep everyone calm and positive," he said in a statement on Instagram.
"I'm strong, with a lot of hope and I follow my treatment as usual. I want to thank the entire medical and nursing team for all the care I have received.
"I have a lot of faith in God and every message of love I receive from you all over the world keeps me full of energy. And watching Brazil in the World Cup too!
"Thank you so much for everything."

Read his autobiography just this year, it was published in 2006 so I presume there might have been another one since then, the guy has had some life and it certainly didn't stop being eventful after 2006 I would imagine .... he didn't claim to be a saint in the book either, he had rather a colourful private life
Unfortunately never got to see him play so I probably wont feel the same emotion I did when Maradona passed, an event which I'm not ashamed to admit brought a tear to my eye. Considering how Maradona's death was received in Argentina I can only imagine the reaction in Brazil when Pele goes, though hopefully not for a while yet.

im happy we get all these players in Britain now but I agree it has diminished the World Cup a bit for me.
apologies for derailing the thread about Pele

Reports of Pele in palliative care seemingly inaccurate.

One of the best goals never scored was peles dummy round the goalie begore running back and missing by a bawhair. Every time i see it im willing the ball to go in. Absolute genious and a true legend! 😁
The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits
The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game

Not hating, Pele lives on in history for a reason, but the narrative around that chance should include how bad a miss it was, at least a little bit. We can admire the skill and laugh at the miss without taking anything away from the overall greatness of Pele.

Mazurkiewicz the Uruguay keeper was by no means a mug and was voted best keeper at that 70 World Cup. Pele has previously said this was his favourite moment on a football pitch.Last edited by Baader; 11-12-2022 at 05:34 PM.
