Never seen this before today. Pretty cool. Also, is that the missing trophy?

EDIT: No it isn't. The Jules Rimet Cup seems to be a lot smaller. Wonder what became of it?

Didn't Brazil get to keep it after their third win?

Yes, it was later stolen in 1983 (from the Brazil FA building) and never recovered.

Wonder if this will be one of these improving but then is dead 48 hours later

Doubt it to be honest, I think reports he was close to death and receiving end of life were a bit premature, Pele is obviously seriously poorly and getting closer and closer to the end but I think he will linger on for a bit, saying that I would be amazed if he is still alive in 3 or 6 months time.

Remember when they prematurely announced Jerry Lee Lewis' death. His family came out and made it look sound like his health was fine. Next day he was dead.

But it’s been a week now. If he were to die I think it would have already happen…

Not really true, they just confirmed he wasn’t dead yet.

They didn't say that he was fine, they said he wasn't dead. He was still receiving treatment for pneumonia

He will die just before or after Brazil wins the World Cup this year.

 

 

Thanks for that - so there's a moment around 5pm UK time on 17 December we can safely avoid in the sweepstakes, then

Brazil got kicked out.

Pelé will be dead by the end of the week.

At least Neymar only equalized his goal scoring record.

Well, both Brazil and Croatia had last-gasp goals in 105th and 117th minute. I wouldn't be surprised if Pelé scored one last-gasp as well.

Dying not from cancer but from "Neymar's ego" would be quite the twist.

Aaaaand… New insta post a minute ago about Brazil’s élimination if he were on his deathbed I don’t think that this would be the post on his account. Will see 2023 I think

Tbf it could be his family doing that post, although I honestly wouldn’t be shocked either way at this point

I'm sure it was also (mostly) prepared in advance, as he must have been expecting his goal-scoring record to go soon.
