LONDON (AFP) - Pele believes England can reach the final of this year's World Cup even if striker Wayne Rooney fails to recover from injury.



What else did he say about WC 2006???

Poor England fans.. Pele has never been right on his pre WC statements..:o
There's always a first for everything, however.. On second thought.. Poor England fans..

Pele wasnt directly tipped us for a world cup triumph .just saying we dont need rooney to get to latter rounds.
no doubt questions were asked by british media people .and he will give similar answers to journos from italy ,spain ,france ,etc when asked about their teams.

PELE the great predictor.

[rougou]

I doubt there is a Pele curse, because it seems he predicts good things for every single team in the cup. thats probably like the 5th team he said will reach the finals...

I know... that s why I asked what else did he predict? The British journalist who interviewed Pele should be charged with treason, :) He is probably a Scot.

But he never said Brazil... he always playdowned their chance. :)

pele also said people who use rolleyes smilies arent retards .

I don't think England can win the Cup with this team.

But then I said that Liverpool wouldn't beat Milan for the CL Cup or WHU for the FA Cup.

I don't have anything in common with Pele on the pitch, perhaps I do off it..!

Pele said Yugoslavia would reach the final in 1998

Pele said Yugoslavia would reach the final in 1998

In all fairness news travels a bit slow to brazil so maybe he hadn't heard about that little scuffle a couple years prior.

Also if Pele is bad luck does that mean what Beckenbauer's been saying is good.

[lad1509]

he said spain would win the cup in 98... not only we didn't win the cup, we went bye bye the first round.. this man wasn't even remotly close.

pele said totti is the best in the world, a couple of months later, totti breaks he ankle.
