Pele is the name that’s synonymous with football. Like Ali to boxing and Jordan to NBA

Edit: Shit, I saw the thread and thought they announced he left us. Seems to be in a critical condition.

Not serious.

Pelé is the World Cup. All the pictures of him celebrating goals or being lifted up are melded into this tournament’s identity.

Hope the bloke pulls through, sounds like it’s not as bad as it was initially made out.

Sports editors the world over if Pele died during the World Cup

Why do we need to clarify that he isn’t dead?

Because some people thought he was dead.

I can relate to be fair. I am constantly asking if people are dead. I killed off Billy Connolly about 27 times.

Some idiot even put an RIP in here before having to edit his post.

Im glad Wales are out of the world cup then. We most keep Pele alive at all costs.
