RIP Legend
USA sucks at ⚽️ football. You never see Americans win a world cup.
Rip❤
cadê brasileiros nojentos aqui🤣
R.I.P LEGEND
No doubt …the best , the king of soccer , great man, can avoid to cry …so.long.!!!
Pele never scored over 1000 goals, but R.I.P
We lost the GOAT. Football is what it is because of this man. Messi finally won a cup ,but he's a long way from where Pele is.
Immensooo
