2) Pele Should Go Back To The Museum
One thing that was guaranteed to happen this World Cup was a verbal war of words between eternal enemies Maradona and Pele.
In response to Pele's assertion that Maradona only took the Albiceleste coaching job because he needed the money, the Argentine declared that ‘The Jinx' should "go back to the museum".
Maradona also earlier accused Pele of failing to support the South African World Cup and the country itself.
"When the tragedy happened to the Togolese team before the Africa Cup of Nations, a certain coloured gentleman who played number 10 didn't believe that the World Cup could be played here", he roared.
"But today South Africa answers him 'yes it can', the World Cup begins."
