WORLD CUP USA ’94 / ROUND OF 16 : SPOTLIGHT : SO, WHO ASKED YOU?

Everyone from the president of the country to Coach Carlos Alberto Parreira’s mother has suggested changes in Brazil’s lineup. So why not Pele?

In a column last week for USA Today, Pele advised Parreira to make personnel moves involving six players.

“It will be necessary to try these different suggestions during practice sessions in Santa Clara, Calif., because Brazil cannot play any worse,” Pele concluded.

Brazil is 2-0-1, scoring six goals and allowing only one.
