The final results

After retirement, the fans of the impression of Pele is not from his brilliant record in the era of the players, but his "crow mouth", because of each World Cup and the European Football Championship, where Pele is optimistic about winning the team, the ball The team will eventually be sadly out [3]. Such as the 1994 World Cup, Pele predicted that Colombia will take the World Cup in the United States. The results of the Colombian group out of the bottom, while the Colombian defender Andreas Escobar because of a group match since the Oolong, after returning home was shot. Another example is the 2002 World Cup, Pele was predicted that the final will be Argentina and France confrontation. But the final results Argentina and France both teams are out in the group stage, and France and even a ball into the money did not.

Another example is the 2010 World Cup FIFA Coins, Pele forecast final will be the African team to Brazil, but after the first round of the African team in addition to Ghana to win the rest of the team can not win. As for the group after the African team only Ghana can qualify from the group stage, and finally when the best in Africa, Ghana and Brazil both in the quarterfinals were eliminated. After the 12th Olympic Games, he also predicted that Chinese football can participate in the 2016 Brazilian Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games. China eventually also known as the Olympic soccer Asian qualifying tournament in 2016 AFC U-23 championship team stage three defeated and defeated, missed the Olympic Games.

Of course, his crow mouth is not every success. In the 2012 European Nations Cup Spain in Pele optimistic about the successful break through the curse to win, to prove that Pele's crow mouth also failed (but conspiracy theorists think 2012 European Cup match-fixing, so Pele Crow mouth failure), may be coincidental , But by its crow mouth curse of the success of the team is still too scary, people talked about. Another more bipolar case is the 2014 World Cup. Pele optimistic about the previous World Cup champion Spain and third place Germany will win the success, although Spain in the middle of the arrows but Germany has become the Brazilian soccer championship.
