Football and globalisation For Japan and Korea it is a signal of their coming out of the downturn, for Brazil it is a triumph of their corrupt and highly influential football federation, for Germany it is a re-affirmation of their low-key efficiency. Edson Arantes de Nascimento, the man they call Pele, who was part of the World Cup winning team three times and by far the best-known face in football, said some 20 years ago that an African team would win the World Cup by the end of the 20th century.
