Pelé- at the World Cup
28 February 2021
The title should be Pelé at the world cup. The doc not even try to go deeper to show who really is Pelé, or even try to tell us something different about him. Maybe it is okay, but it would be a lot better to know a little bit about Edson Arantes.

It could explore more about his carrier on brazilians teams and also how he started so young (17 he was playing the world cup), and what he did after soccer.

The idea of showing the dictatorship in Brazil was not bad, also how politcs influences even in soccer and it was a tough momment.

He is supposed to be the GOAT, however the doc do not show us this. There is no interview from others selecitons os players talking about how difficult is to play against him, or even how he was above the other players.

After watching it, i just feel that he was a really good player that won a lot of worldcups and that's it. Nothing more.
