Yes, a big coincidence that the war happened to pause for the length of the game and that nobody questions the correlation of both events. Great respect for Drogba, but these two are not really exclusive events (also, not a competition).
the point was that the anecdote about pele just wasn't correct. Yes, there was a brief pause because of pele/santos for the length of the match (maybe even for the whole day), but the actual cease fire was 2 weeks later unrelated to the match. We don't have to invent stories to honor his legacy. His achievements speaks for himself, and was widely considered the GOAT up until Messi.
