Are we excited for #USAvsBEL? Yes! Were celebrating by displaying Pelés jersey in our American Stories exhibition and, of course, tuning in. Go, USA! This 1977 jersey was worn by one of the worlds greatest soccer stars: Edson Arantes do Nascimento—better known as Pelé. Born in Brazil in 1940, he joined FC Santos at age 15 and led the Brazilian national team to #WorldCup victories in 1958, 1962, and 1970. When Pelé signed with the New York Cosmos in 1974, he helped introduce soccer into the American mainstream. He wore this jersey in a North American Soccer League championship game. #WorldCup2014
