An Eternal Record: Only an alien will surpass #JustFontaine ‘s record of 13 goals at the #1958WorldCup.
When asked about his achievement, Fontaine would mischievously reply: "I took 18 shots, scored 13 goals, hit a post and a crossbar. My name is Just, don't forget it."

Imagine you’re 17.
You’re in the World Cup Final.
You score — twice.
The whistle blows and you collapse, crying in the middle of the pitch.
That’s #Pelé, 1958. The boy became immortal that day. 🇧🇷👑

During the #1958WorldCup the then 17-year-old #Pelé enjoyed a moment of chatting with Swedish fans in Stockholm.

In the semifinals against #Brazil, #RobertJonquet was forced to stay on the pitch after breaking his leg after a collision with Vavà, as the rules at the time didn’t allow for player substitutions. Maybe this injury prevented #France from winning the match.
