According to ESPN, Santos president Luis Alvaro de Oliveira has formally extended an invitation to sainted Peixe legend Pele to play for the Brazilian club at the FIFA Club World Cup in December.

Thankfully, Pies were on hand to capture the 70-year-old’s response.

“At first I was like…”

“…then I was like…”

“No.”

    P€£€

    I hope to God he declines. Their’s nothing more emberassing than seeing this old Geezer try to score another goal.

  4. Varun says:

    This will end up being billed as
    Messi V Pele

    So it won’t ever happen, ‘coz Pele is shit scared of Messi right now
    Asking him to score 1200+ goals BEFORE he’ll even consider him to be his equal.

  5. Montesquieu says:

    One thing that can be said about Maradonna and Pele, they’re both massive assholes.
