It Was Okay For Fans.


I'm an American, so I don't really care about soccer, but I am interested in compelling stories about the complex individuals who become GOATs in sports like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Muhammad Ali, Babe Ruth, etc. . ., so I was looking forward to watching what I thought would be an insight into the man that is the GOAT in soccer, Pele.

It's more of an overview of his career, which is fine because I don't really know a whole lot about why he was considered great, but I would've liked to have seen more about the individual behind Pele.

Who is the man?

Where are his children, his wife (& ex-wives), family (outside of his one sister who was interviewed)?

I preferred the Diego Maradona doc, as they showed his flaws as a man, husband, and father, not just his greatness as a soccer player.
