Appreciation: Pele was the greatest soccer player. Was that good or bad for Brazil and for soccer?
Briefly

from Los Angeles Times1 year ago
I saw the Brazilian soccer demigod Pelé play in person a few times and have watched innumerable clips of his greatest hits.Two of my most indelible memories are of goals that he didn't even score.Both occurred at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico City, where Brazil's formidable Seleção was bidding for its third World Cup championship in a dozen years.
