Question:
True
or False: In 1970, with Brazil’s
win over Italy, Pele became the only player in history to receive three World
Cup winning medals.
Answer:
False. Pele IS
the only player with 3 winning
medals, received for Brazil’s wins in 1958, 1962, and 1970. However, Pele received his 1962 medal
retroactively only in 2007. He did
not receive it originally because he was eliminated from the 1962 World
Cup by
an injury in the second match.
