Ive always thought that it must be very hard for those who have achieved so much at a young age to live out the rest of their lives defined by their past success.

I think thats why I’ve consistently tried to be slightly above average. Gotta pace yourself.

Here are the two goals against England in the 86 WC:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY40__rBvSk

What is of note is that the hand goal was STILL an incredible goal. He slaloms through several defenders, chips the ball to a teammate, a poor clearance by the English guy, THEN he punches it in. But the close control to beat those several defenders is just insane. People only remember the fact that he cheated, and I can understand why, the the dribbling to set it up was nuts.

The second goal is maybe the greatest in WC history. It was a youth league goal, he just gets the ball in his own half and dribbles past half the England team.

RIP. Polarizing. Flamboyant. Brilliant. I don't know if anyone has ever played better than he did at the 1986 WC. It is sad that he is gone, but he packed quite a bit into 60 years.

Pele good

That second goal was 4 minutes after the hand of god goal too. Incredible.
