    Pele 'The Jinx' strikes again as Nigeria risk missing WC

    Pele 'The Jinx' strikes again as Nigeria risk failing to qualify for World Cup

    Brazil legend Pele has further enhanced his reputation as something of a jinx, as the country he tipped to progress to the semi-finals of the 2010 World Cup – Nigeria – look set to fail to qualify for South Africa.

    Pele is notorious for his numerous wrong predictions over the years. Romario once declared that "Pele is a poet when he keeps his mouth shut", while coach Luiz Felipe Scolari delivered the legendary line, "I believe Pele knows nothing about football. His analysis always turns out to be wrong. If you want to win a title, you have to listen to Pele and then do the opposite."

    In July, the 1970 World Cup star visited Nigeria and while there tipped the Super Eagles to become the first African nation to ever make it to the semi-finals of a World Cup.

    ah well a nuh him one. It seems like the top strikers can't get it right at all. Maradona, Gulliet, Klingsman and oh Johnny?

            Pele failed to help Jamaica when he could. When Pele was in Jamaica and was asked about Jamaica's chances in France 98 he basically refused to comment. He should have said, I am sorry to says this about my host, but Jamaica cannot qualify for the 2nd round ...LOL
            The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.
