Pele dumps on Costa Rica

Posted by Roger More (aka rogermore) Jun 25 '18, 07:13

Translation:

A question by a Russian journalist to Pele:

"Pele, do you believe the Brazilian team from 1970 would have won today against Costa Rica"
"Of course"
"By how much"
"1-0"
"Only 1-0?"
"Yes, most of us are over 75 now"

        As Will mentioned, it's been a running joke for a long time and I can see guys in every sport using it. It's a good joke. -- nm - Krusty Jun 25, 07:39
