Romario

[RP]

One or two valid comments from Gabriele Marcotti, particularly regarding the use and relevance of statistics in football here

In the grand scheme of things, who cares?

 

We all know Romario was great, but judging a striker by the goals scored isn't the only reflection on his greatness.

 

We all judge a player on what we see infront of our two eyes. Was Shearer better than Fowler? Was Andy Cole better than Rush? Who knows? Who cares? But comparing goals isn't gonna make the difference in the end.

[RP]

Exactly.

 

Everyone knows it's the assists that make the difference.

[Romario]

It's away goals not assists that counts.

I'll forever remember Romario for what he did against Madrid - "The Bull's Tail" not for scoring 300 or 400 goals against poxy Brazilian no-hope teams
