I read the "PELE". I write the story of Pele's first world cup.
**********************
In 1957, Pele got into Brazilian World Cup team. Then he was only seventeen. Very very young player.

The 1958 World Cup games were in Sweden. The first game was Brazil vs Russia. Brazil won 2-0.

The second game played Wales. He scored a goal. Brazil won 1-0.

The third game played France. He scored three goals. Of cource Brazil won 5-2.

The final game was Beazil vs Sweden. Sweden scored first. But Brazil scored five goals. Pele scored two goals, and Brazil won 5-2. Brazil were the champions!

He scored six goals in first World Cup. This World Cup started his legend.
