This week on the show we are delighted to be joined by the renowned Brazilian based journalist Tim Vickery. Tim has covered Brazilian football for close to 30 years, so was the perfect person to ask about the recent Netflix documentary, covering Pelé's life. We discussed what made him a footballing icon, whether he should have done more to distance himself from the military dictatorship, and if it is right to have expected him to do so. Finally we covered the relationship between football and Bolsonaro in Brazil.
