With one swing of the magic 'tongue', the chance of Argentina winning their 3rd World cup is fast reaching a boiling point. The King has spoken once again. The king who? King Pele of course!
Scolari has once said this of Pele. 'He has done nothing as a coach and his analysis always turns out to be wrong. If you want to win a title, you have to listen to Pele and then do the opposite.' And Scolari duly won the 2002 World Cup
Haha, yeah, pretty funny. Pele may have been a fantastic footballer, his predictions are indeed no better than those of the average drunk at a pub. Everyone can tell Spain and Brazil are favourites, but a really bold prediction would've been the Netherlands winning, after all those tournaments they ended 2nd, 3rd or 4th
Hhaahahah I am very familiar with this in 1994, pele said that colombia was one of the favorites to win the world cup.... Because we had an impressive qualifying round and we beat argentina 5-0, sadly we went out the first round thanks pele and your cursed predictions hahaaha
