But Pele believes France and Brazil can provide enough goals to decide the outcome much faster at the Stade de France. I don't think it will go to overtime. Pele said he thought the French would not be able to produce the intensity of attacking football they have tried to play during the rest of the tournament because they were facing the strongest attacking team in the world. The teams will play to win. The French team will not play completely the way they have done.
Brazil have the best forwards and France have the best defence.
It is going to be a very nice game. Pele said he thought history could be on the side of the Brazilians. They are the only team from South America to have won the World Cup outside the continent when they clinched the first of their four triumphs in 1958 in Sweden. Brazil's present coach Mario Zagallo also got on the scoresheet. Brazil are the only team to have won the World Cup out of the continent.
