Pelé

All the great names I have at home.

Uh, but if I have to say one, I would say Pelé because, like, it was, like, a moment the first time I met him.

Um-

Yeah

Nice.

I remember col- collecting the trophy in the rain, and you've had some incredible memories there.

I think, you know, you were the, you were the first teenager since Pelé to score in the final, weren't you? And I suppose I'm, I'm speaking to you now at a time where maybe your memories of the last World Cup were a little bit kind of bittersweet.

You know, you, you, you had such a great personal tournament, but I'm sure you, you have some sort of regrets as well.

He went to Lazio.

He still created a good career, but he would've challenged Maradona, and Cruyff, and Ronaldo, and Messi as the, even Pele, as the greatest player we've ever seen.

He never reached that height again.

Um, and we had it with Michael Owen.

And it's just on Zoom, but I was just like, "You know, it's Martin Smith.

It's the son of Pelé." Graham as well.

Like, I mean, Graham also is...

You know, it's been wonderful to write with him.

Yeah, look, what an incredible career.

Of course, you know, I mean, the greatest, I think, national team career, maybe not the greatest national team career of all time, right? That's probably Pele.

But what an incredible story of an international career.

You know, Argentinians will tell you, like, there was frustration with him.

It could be past or present.

Like if you wanted to throw in a Pele, you could.

Who would it be and why?

Okay, I'm thinking of, like, Little Rose back playing on a Nintendo DS, and, like, I would have killed to have the U.S. from his national team on it, and I would have killed to have Mia Hamm.

And again, this revival is such a step down in terms of the typical connection people have with the cosmos name.

The cosmos names are Pele and 60,000 at the Meadowlands and whatever.

And it's not that this is definitely not that.

Yeah, my eyebrows definitely wiggled when the initial announcement was that they were going to be in USL League one.

Yeah, look, what an incredible career.

Of course, you know, I mean, the greatest, I think, national team career, maybe not the greatest national team career of all time, right? That's probably Pele.

But what an incredible story of an international career.

You know, Argentinians will tell you, like, there was frustration with him.

And if they produce the goods on the field in the game before, then I put them in for the next game.

It doesn't bother me whether they don't beat Pele in training.

But if they don't do it in the actual game, then this is what I don't understand about him, why he does that.

But then you look at the other way, say they have a really good game on a Saturday, they've trained poorly all week and then they play poorly on the following Saturday.

Chirp, look, aye Just reset my roster, two new signings, brand new team My new team's cold, first team ready, you know what I mean I was on the bench too long, now I'm on grease Put it in settings, ice cold shooter, you know what I mean Since 2016, in love with a game like Ronald Dean 4-4-2, classic system, I'm on the wing If I'm one-on-one, then there's only one ending Finesse so clean, ice in my veins, she love how I paint If it's too untrue, then it's me and bro Just kick and press the style and flex with the gal I'm just what you know about, take what you know about Time and again, I don't even need no play style Used to run game with bro, had me through on goal Now she's going my own now Hell of a ride, just went on a glide I don't even need no practice, yeah I'm the man of the match if you're wondering I let bro push forward while I'm covering I just reset my buster, two new signings, brand new team My new team's cold, first team ready, you know what I mean I was on the bench too long, now I'm on grids What are these settings?

Ice in my veins, you love how I bring it Transfer window, who am I signing? All I know was your team, could have been my team I was in the yellow, but you know I'm still sliding Started the season, I was on banking Never built for the bench, I'm restless Did most of the season, midfield, now I'm more leading The press like Tevez, the defense today, the touch like Pelé Had one on the wing from Chelsea, real bad girl Act like she don't wanna behave Life's not champions, league group stages Everybody good, don't qualify, babe She got tech for a little 5'8 Couldn't wear her on finish and pace Call her me, test that, finish that, play I

The secret they'll never tell you How often they think about you The memory of moving on your body My heart is a source of violence I just want to feel the silence As I think about moving on your body But identical picture, it's like I'm lovin' on myself One little snail, so high, I'm leavin' trails This isn't lovin', this is
