Romario Quits

[fyds]

I'm sure he'll do it again.

One of the greatest strikers ever. He'd make my all time XI.

Nah, he'd be on the bench, Maradona tucked in behind Van Basten would be upfront.

Romario has retired.

It was literally the first topic on the forum!!!

Love the fact that Romario is a Romario though. Could only have been better if Romario himself had posted it

a Bebeto?

I'd have Romario ahead of van Basten. Also, i admire the way he's played on till past his 40's, not bad for a lazy footballer.

Well. Merging the thread rather defeats the sodding object!

Awesome player, absolutely awesome.

 

He probably would be slated playing for us though for lack of effort.

Without him, Brazil would not have won the world cup in 1994 and with him, they would have won the 1998 cup.

 

A true legend who made football look so easy.

 

On pure skill and killer instinct, he would make my top XI of all time, not sure for overall teamwork and endavour!

great lobber of the keeper

[surf]

so often managed to make a yard of space for himself to set himself up for a one on one with the keeper

[surf]

i could go on

[Coyler]

This is powerful stuff, surf.

[Guest Kaizer]

Strikers of today should take notice of how often Romario has scored using his toes, its a technique strikers should use a lot more often or players in general to be honest when approaching goal.

 

The important thing is to score, not how you do it.
