This week, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, nicknamed Pelé, was laid to rest in Santos, Brazil, overlooking the Vila Belmiro stadium where he scored so many of his 1,283 goals. The only player to win three Men's World Cups, Pelé is considered to be the best to ever play the global game. Over 200,000 people descended on Santos to pay respects to the icon this week, and ESPN senior writer Sam Borden was in Brazil for the event. He detailed his experience in a piece for ESPN titled, "Pelé finally comes home, after a lifetime of belonging to the world." Borden is with us to commemorate Pelé and take your calls.
