Pele moved into end of life care.

I'm too young to have seen him play but he is widely regarded as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) players of all time. He won three World Cups in Brazil's golden era and redefined the position of the modern striker. I hope he pulls through. If not, may he rest in peace.

Shit. First I heard of that. What a life he's had. Best ever on most "all time" lists and a great ambassador. He was so influential for growing the sport in the U.S. People didn't know the sport but they knew Pele.

@Ynotisay He's also literally the most famous Brazilian ever.

@Burnley123 Yep. And I don't mean disrespectful but, if he does pass, he's passing during the World Cup. There's something poetic about that. And perfectly fitting.

@Ynotisay Well said.
