Today’s Sport: Soccer

There have been many fantastic players who have shaped the world of soccer today.  However, the greatest of all time would have to be Edison Arantes do Nascimento, or “Pele.”  He dominated the game for over two decades, and his passion on the field was unmatched.

Throughout his career, Pele has been given many awards, including Athlete of the Century, and was inducted as a member of the American National Soccer Hall of Fame.  He is the only player to have three World Cup medals, and scored 1280 goals in 1363 games.

Pele’s legacy will last forever; he revolutionized the game around the world, and truly made soccer the best sport in the world.
