As someone already said, Pele is over 60, and The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore.

Which Pele are u referring to? I'm sure it has to be Abedi Pele of Ghana(three time African Player of the year) as the Brazilian Pele is too old to play in the World Cup.Well Abedi Pele retired a few years ago though some thought he might return to international football to play for Ghana in this years World Cup.He currently runs a football team in Ghana(Nania FC).

Pele is a soccer giant, well most known soccer player anyways, in my opinion he wasn't as good as Maradona but still none the less.
He knows when to quit haha he's not a Michael Jordan, he bows out when he's done, he doesn't come back twice, once to be better and the next time to embarass himself.
Its too bad russia doesn't have a team that would be cool.

Pele was too busy eating Brazil nuts----and then going around the town with Claudia Schiffer.
