A simple man who ended Brazilians' inferiority complexand gave Brazil a sense of nationhood.

On the day of his passing,the world stopped to applaud him, and NASA recognizes his greatness, which transcends the boundaries of the planet.

Winner of every tournament and championship he played in at the world's biggest soccer centers;holder of records that will never be broken.

But in this pantheon of achievements, the world failed to honor him with one award: the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.Perhaps the Norwegian Committee will still award him this prize posthumously.
