True. His character made him unfavourable with the marketing houses. He was never gonna let managers or sponsors tell him what to do. This is a player (along with Ronaldinho) who had the raw natural talent to become the best player of all times, but he didn't want to due to discipline.
01tonyde in the 90's, any great Brazilian team was superior to those of Europe, the great players played here in Brazil, you think it was easy to win a Brazilian championship in the 90's? In Spain there are only 2 major traditional clubs, in Italy 4 at most, in England 5 at the most, in Brazil ALL the clubs of the first division managed to win the championship in the 90s. Romário reached the 1000 goals playing here in Brazil, playing against giant clubs like Sao Paulo, Internacional, Flamengo, Santos, etc, much more difficult than playing against La Coruña, Zaragoza, Feyenoord, Heerenveen (with respect to these clubs, but none of them they may be superior in history than a median club in Brazil). Beach and partying also in Spain, what he did here he also did in Spain. He came back to play here was not because of parties, but because of the passion for our league, country and your family.
The spanish league in those days, for a big club, was much harder to win than nowadays, many clubs had real options to win it. Including that Deportivo de la Coruña that you so happily dismiss, they won the league one of those years. Most of the clubs compiting were founded around 100 years ago and there were like 6 or 7 real contenders each year, unlike nowadays. So yeah, no disrespect to the brazilian league, but it was far away from that era of the spanish league. Saying that in Spain there are only 2 traditional clubs shows how little you now, maybe you've only been watching football for the last 10 years or so, when it was all Barça vs Madrid. But when the legend Romario played here the league was really difficult to win because of the high amount of contenders each year. One year Valencia won and Coruña came 2nd, so if you only think about Barça-Madrid... well, it's up to you. Even in the late 80s and early 90s when it was mostly Madrid and Barça winning, it was only because of the great teams that they had during a few years, but other clubs like Athletic, Real Sociedad, Español, Atlético, Betis and Valencia were always contesting. Just as an example, Romario played for Valencia in 96-97 and then he went back to Brazil. Well, Valencia won two leagues in 2002 and 2004, including reaching a couple of times the Champions league final.
That was not the focus of my criticism, I was referring to the way in which he approached the reason for Romario's return to Brazil, this meant that he only came back here to make a spree, he already did in Spain, my comparisons were made to show the greatness of Brazilian football, here a club takes the professionalism of an athlete as much as in Europe in that sense, the difference is that European football clubs have more purchasing power and can keep the competition within their own cast, already in Brazil this becomes more difficult in this sense. But since we are comparing the competitiveness of the championships ... it's only up to you to win the title difference of the top 3 winners of each tournament. in La Liga: R. Madrid -> 33 Barcelona -> 25 A. Madrid -> 10 In the Brasileirão: Palmeiras -> 9 Santos -> 8 Corinthians -> 7 The difference is simply discrepant. Let's make the following analogy, La Coruna 2000, had three important brasilians in the cast: Djalminha, Mauro Silva and Flavio Conceição, and other foreigners like Makaay, Pauleta, Duscher, Naybet, etc ... Imagine if it was forbidden any player to play outside of their country, the Spanish championship would be less competitive, as the Brazilian / Argentine and others who sell their players for the great leagues, our tournaments would be much superior to the Spanish championship. Villareal, A. Madrid and Valencia have made historic campaigns in the finals and semi-finals, but here even the second division clubs have managed to get far in the continental tournaments such as São Caetano and Paysandú, to understand the size of competitiveness between the clubs here.
Romario = Girls and Goals! Known as the Deadly Assassin, and also, like Pele... has a 1000 goals to his name. Played in the Dutch league then in the Spanish Liga (like Brazillian Ronaldo with whom he also played with but more so in the twilight of his footballing career) for Barcelona and coached by another legend Johan Cruyff and was responsible with Bebeto with the rock a bye baby celebration for goals in bringing back the World Cup back in 1994 back to Brazil after 20 years in the wilderness without it. Quick, fast and furious, had a bag full of tricks, Lethal, a Beast in the box, an amazing touch and spacial awareness, Clinical and technically gifted. A gifted goal machine. Smiles...
It was really fun to watch your reactions to the genius of the penalty box. Romario is considered to be just as good as ronaldo here in brazil. It's a perfectly split contest: 50, 50. He played for olaria, vasco, psv, barcelona, then came back to brazil when he was the best player in the world, at age 29 to play for flamengo. He could've easily won the award at least one more time, probably 2 more times, since he placed 4th and 10th in 95 and 96, despite playing for flamengo. He played shortly for valencia, then vasco again, then fluminense, then vasco, then MIAMI FC, then vasco again. I was 7 years old when he promised to and won the world cup in 94 for brazil after 24 years (since 1970). Also he was the best player of the tournament. That right then was beginning of my love for the beautiful game. Check out other facts too: he scored 1002 goals in his career; he was the top goal scorer in the brazilian national champioship at age 40; he has the highest goal/match average of all time for brazil's national team; he was left out of the 2002 brazilian WC squad due to lack of discipline, despite having scored 74 goals the previous season at age 36; in 2007, when he retired from professional soccer, he had scored 14 goals in 17 matches at age 42, halfway through the season. Many people, mainly abroad, like yourself, haven't heard of him because he chose to play at home when he was the best player in the world, which is a pity. For me, as for all of brazil, he is among the 10 best ever.
Romário was a star that played since late 80's but shined at the 90's. He alone won the 94's World Cup (In the USA, btw) almost by himself to Brazil. This guy was so huge that he became the Brazilian national championship top scorer at the age 39 always saying that 'the level was too low so that's why he could do all the things he does'. He is one of the few in the world that scored more than 1k goals in his life. He is a legend and oh, he was only 5’5” and scored A LOT of goals with his unhuman push that reached 6’7”. And to finish, a fun fact about him. Once he was playing for Barcelona and he wanted to come to Brazil to spend the Carnaval in here, but he had to play. He then asked his coach that if he scored 2 goals, he could go out at the midtime. His coach then lol'd and said that if he scored 3, he could do anything he wanted. Well, he did scored 3 goals at the first half and then asked if he could leave. His coach allowed and Romario went straight to the airport, because he had ALREADY bought the plane tickets before the match. What a legend. He is basically what Messi always dreamed to be.
Believe it or not this was once the best footballer in the world. He featured in Italia 90 to USA 94 World Cup. The coolest calmest effortless striker ever, different style to Ronaldo.
There are many reasons you,ve never heard about him. But here in Brazil, for anyone with 30 years or more, Romario is the best man in front of the goal ever. He almost never loses a goal when in front of the goalpost. Check the "elástico" he gave in Amaral durgin a Flamengo X Corinthians. One of the most beautiful things you will see in this sport.
Romario, was a remarkable player who I feel wasn't given much credits for his incredible skills due to the impartial treatments you got from his country's coach and some hidden forces that suppressed his talent.
This was a really great reaction. Great to see someone who actually has a clue and actually understands what they're seeing. Romario is the greatest striker of them all. Freakish talent.
Romario de Souza Farias, delantero brasileño imaginense al lado de Ronaldo Nazario, jugaban con los defensas y arqueros. Delanteros realmente de Elite. 👏👏
Inside the box, GOAT. Outside there, still an overal nice player. Even training less, sleeping less and a lot of parties more. haha a nice note: He was the main striker of the Campeonato Brasileiro (brazilian 1st division) and he was 39 years old when he did it.
Also after a couple of years in the Netherlands then two years in Spain when he went big he went back to play in Brazil for the last 15 years of career So he had less European exposure And then he wasn’t taken to WC1998,2002,2006 (A real shame since he’s one of the best players of all time) So he’s less known.. now.. but that’s what you tube is for In Brazil he is very well known And yes.. you just don’t see his style of genius goals in any other player Also he has 1000 career goals
In the 1990s, the Brazilian media and the technical committee of the Brazilian team only paid attention to the players who practically played in our country. There were thousands of players who stopped participating in the World Cup because they did not play in Brazil: Savio - Real Madrid, Djalminha - La Coruña, Elber - Bayern, Juninho Paulista - Middlesbrough, Careca - Napoli, Aldair - Roma, etc... Due to the fact that the Brazilian prefer to watch Brazilian football (at that time), it was very rare to see a Brazilian wanting to watch a European championship. Romário did not go to the World Cup 98 because he was injured, in 2002 he had a disagreement with the national team, in 2006 he was very old, Rivaldo had not gone in 2006 was even more unfair.
He played a lot of time in Europe until. From 1988 to 1994 by PSV and Barcelona. Three times top scorer of the Eredivisie. (greatest idol in the history of PSV). Top Scorer of La Liga. Two-time top scorer in the Champions League. Best Player in the World in 1994. World Champion in 1994.
He was 1994 World Cup champion... in the final, Romario and Roberto Baggio (Italy) were the two "popstars". He had some attitude problems, so some brazilian coaches did not take him to World Cups despite the fans asking for him. (that includes 2002, when Brazil was champion) Not many countries besides Brazil could leave Romario at home and still win a World Cup with Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo... the 3 Rs... it would be 4 Rs with Romario.
Romario was elected by FIFA the best player in the world in 1994 (and second in 1993), playing for Barcelona FC. He won a World Cup for the Brazilian national team, being named the best player of the World Cup in the USA. He is considered the greatest idol of PSV Eidhoven, great idol of Barcelona, and in Brazil, he has a statue of his size in São Januário, stadium of the Vasco da Gama team. Although internationally, Ronaldo Nazário is more famous, in Brazil, there is a greater preference of the fans for Romario. He also scored the historic mark of 1000 goals, just like Pele.
My generation knew the big ones from at least two or three previous generations and we didn't even have internet. Romario retired 20 years ago and 25-year-old boys are unaware that he existed. One of the greatest goalscorers in football history. You need a mountain of ignorance to enjoy football and not know who Romario is. This current generation does not know who was nirvana or guns n roses, but fans of nirvana and guns n roses know who the beatles and rolling stones were. I have never seen a generation with such a lack of interest in the past.
He’s a Brazilian legend almost everyone even puts him above ronaldo and Ronaldinho. He played in the 1994 wc and won it. And would have played in 1998 but he was injured.
Growing up in the 90s, I tell you, he was borderline magic to watch, cool as a cucumber. If he was playing in front of xavi and iniesta, would score every game, trust me, he was lethal.
And you’re right about him bring calm It’s interesting you saw that right away It’s what helped him to be a truly deadly cold finisher And he’s super arrogant.. that helped him with the calm ;)
He scored more than 1000 goals. He was champion on World Cup 1994. He got injured before World Cup in 1998, the Brazil's attack would be Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Leonardo. Bebeto was called to substitute him. He was not called to World Cup 2002 because he was problematic outside from the field. The Brazil's coach decided to not call him. However, without doubt he was one of the best players I've ever had. I also think he was better than Ronaldo. He played until 42 years old. He was the unique player who was won the FIFA the best playing outside from Europe.
So...if I understand correctly, you've never heard of Romario haha Romario favorite things,were women and sleep.He always said he was a bit tired,before he destroyed defenders again. Annoyed team mates because he didnt work hard,but Romario doesnt have to work hard,he decides games in seconds
It’s really a shame on you that you’d never heard of him. Romario was the main player for Brazil in the 94 WC, and one of the best to have ever played the game
Not trying to be rude man, but you don't know 2% of the so called best players. You've heard about a few players of a generation, plus a few legends. If you have never heard of Romario, no disrespect, but you don't know much about football. He played in 80s, 90s up to 2009. So he is a recent player. He won the 1994 WC, and is one of the top scoarers in history. Cheers!
@@rennertelesdarochalima6597 He announced his retirement in 2008 from Vasco da Gama (where he was a coach-player) and came back in 2009 to play for America FC, where he won the 2nd division league. Cheers!
Played most of his career in Brasil. Came to holland (psv) who he later killed in the world cup with Bebeto and took the trophy against Italy. Was there before the real Ronaldo.
Jorgen Gomez a trivia: he's politician now. Currently he's senator and good rated by people, a rare thing. I met him in a book fair. He's a rare guy. And still plays footvolley, one of his hobbies even when he was pro. It explains a bit of his technique/style.
@Jorgen Gomez many younger generation including yours have not heard of Romario either, but I have. I saw him life in Holland and grew up watching his game every Sunday. His WC94 golden ball is second only to Maradona WC86. By far the best finisher and the most technical striker there ever was. Even more impressive to know that he never trained!
I saw Ronaldo life playing for PSV too. So I am lucky to have seen both Brazilians passing through my country before pre-prime. I am glad to see how you have been honest about not knowing why you havent heard of Romario. I can see you acknowledge his quality right off the bat. You should watch Romario debut match in La Liga 1993/94 czcams.com/video/RiuLhwhFe8M/video.html
Jorgen you should do a video about Laudrup. Laudrup was a true magician and the most elegant passer I ever saw. Another player worth noting was Roberto Baggio!
Romário made more than a thousand goals, after winning the world cup in 1994 he returned to Brazil at the height of the career because he did not like to train, he drank a lot and lived on the beach and at parties so he is not very well known internationally but here in Brazil is considered as better than ronaldinho and ronaldo
Well, you asked a question a lot and made one comment. The question: why haven't you heard of him? His career spanned from the late 80s to the early 2000s. During this era, there were still good conditions to play in Brazil for a player of his caliber. He also chose it and made a point to play in Brazil after a long tenure in the Dutch league’s e and a shorter period in Spain. Like some people mentioned, he was not the friendliest to FIFA and the politics of the game, so the best player of the 1994 WC, arguably one of the best strikers in history, and in Johann Cruyff's own words "the best ever inside the box" is a bit unknown for younger non-brazilians. The comment: how calm he was. Yes, he was very relaxed and calm in situations most players, or anyone would lose their temper. It is said that a group of physiologists got to place heart monitors in the Flamengo squad to test, among other things, the player's anxiety level during a match. Romario's was completely out of the norm. He was, indeed, extremely calm and relaxed in these tense situations.
Dude... many people think he is better than (the real Ronaldo) and many people think he was better than Maradona and the second best of all times after Pele. He scored over 1,000 goals and pretty much won the 1994 World Cup on his own.
David That is a big argument in Brazil. The Fenômeno was more pyrotechnic, his athleticism, and explosiveness and quick dribbling are jaw dropping. Romario was such a genius that he made hard things seem simple, less fancy but more lethal. His positioning as forward was unmatched, he headed incredibly well despite his height and was, like Ronaldo, great in assisting players. To quote Cruyff, “inside the big box, no genius surpasses Romario.’
You never heard of this master class world champion because he gave the middle finger in the air to F.C. Barcelona and to F.I.F.A. in general. Also to the CBF and mant coaches in Brazil like Zagalo, Scolari, and he was regected and disappear of the history and so many people only remember Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, but he was capable to win the world cup in 1998 but there was a conspiracy against him to prevent him to do it. Peace
Dude seriously!!.. what planet are you from ...?? just imagen having in today's game, Romario#11 El Fenomeno Ronaldo #9 # CR7 RBaggio #10 Chino Recoba #20 Diego Forlan#10 Figo#7 Bam Bam Zamorano #9 Marco Asencio #20 Andres Siniestra #6 this football stars in one team ... uff!!.. Messi & Barca & Company would probably have nightmares or something ?? ☺️☺️⚽⚽👍👍 dude cool video
The other guy who is a beast you prob haven’t heard of is Michael Laudrup So him Romario, messi, Maradona, Pele, Brazilian Ronaldo. They are my top. (Not in that order)
You don't know about him because you spent 0 effort into looking at the game's history previous to 2000. Romario was the best Brazilian striker for an entire decade until Ronaldo appeared. Shockingly, it seams that you don't even know the history of the 1994 US World Cup. If you did, you would know Romario well as this was his most glorious of tournaments.
Eusebio - George Best - George Weah, j j Okocha to name a few. My Favs are Pele-Messi, Ronaldo r9, Eusebio, Romario, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Zizou, Best... tired now
Hello... where are you from, dude? US? He was the BEST player of 1994 FIFA World Cup in your country in which Brazil won for the 4th time. He's the best I've ever seen!!!
DUDE, CHECKOUT THE WORLD CUP IN US. CANT REMEMBER WHICH YEAR IT WAS, BUT HE WAS PLAYING FOR BRAZIL THEN, ALONG SIDE ANOTHER GREATS, BABETO. CHECKOUT ALSO D YOUNG RONALDO IN D SAME TEAM
@@antoniocunha8772 Pode ser, mas não esquece: quando você bater no peito dizendo por aí que teu país É penta campeão do mundo, dos 5 titulos desse tal penta, três foram na época do cachorro amarrado com linguiça e com Pelé estuprando os adversários.
Romario is the 2nd best player in the history of Brazil... after Pele comes Romario after Ronaldo and Ronaldinho... Neymar is nobody compared to these monsters
The greatest scorer of all, Romário. 1002 goals.

Not many countries besides Brazil could leave Romario at home and still win a World Cup with Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Rivaldo... the 3 Rs... it would be 4 Rs with Romario.
Romario was elected by FIFA the best player in the world in 1994 (and second in 1993), playing for Barcelona FC. He won a World Cup for the Brazilian national team, being named the best player of the World Cup in the USA. He is considered the greatest idol of PSV Eidhoven, great idol of Barcelona, and in Brazil, he has a statue of his size in São Januário, stadium of the Vasco da Gama team. Although internationally, Ronaldo Nazário is more famous, in Brazil, there is a greater preference of the fans for Romario. He also scored the historic mark of 1000 goals, just like Pele.
Romário foi um gênio, mas Pelé não se compara a ninguém. É o Rei do Futebol
My generation knew the big ones from at least two or three previous generations and we didn't even have internet. Romario retired 20 years ago and 25-year-old boys are unaware that he existed. One of the greatest goalscorers in football history. You need a mountain of ignorance to enjoy football and not know who Romario is. This current generation does not know who was nirvana or guns n roses, but fans of nirvana and guns n roses know who the beatles and rolling stones were. I have never seen a generation with such a lack of interest in the past.
Don’t worry
You’ve heard of him now
I think he’s one of the top 5 of all time
Yessssss... love it.. brilliant reaction. Many like you have never heard about him.. they don't talk enough about him
He’s a Brazilian legend almost everyone even puts him above ronaldo and Ronaldinho. He played in the 1994 wc and won it. And would have played in 1998 but he was injured.
Do mesmo nível de Ronaldo e de Zico, mas acima de Ronaldinho. Abaixo de Pelé, como todos foram, são e sempre serão.
Growing up in the 90s, I tell you, he was borderline magic to watch, cool as a cucumber. If he was playing in front of xavi and iniesta, would score every game, trust me, he was lethal.
He played here in Brazil for Flamengo, Vasco e Fluminense. Great reaction!
Vasco Fluminense e Flamengo,
And you’re right about him bring calm
It’s interesting you saw that right away
It’s what helped him to be a truly deadly cold finisher
And he’s super arrogant.. that helped him with the calm ;)
Romário foi o melhor jogador que eu vi jogar
Men, this guys is the second best brazilian player soccer! Genius.
O gênio a grande área!
My idol ,he is the best 😍
He scored more than 1000 goals. He was champion on World Cup 1994. He got injured before World Cup in 1998, the Brazil's attack would be Romario, Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Leonardo. Bebeto was called to substitute him. He was not called to World Cup 2002 because he was problematic outside from the field. The Brazil's coach decided to not call him. However, without doubt he was one of the best players I've ever had. I also think he was better than Ronaldo. He played until 42 years old. He was the unique player who was won the FIFA the best playing outside from Europe.
So...if I understand correctly, you've never heard of Romario haha Romario favorite things,were women and sleep.He always said he was a bit tired,before he destroyed defenders again.
Annoyed team mates because he didnt work hard,but Romario doesnt have to work hard,he decides games in seconds
Best player ever that played for PSV Eindhoven.
It’s really a shame on you that you’d never heard of him. Romario was the main player for Brazil in the 94 WC, and one of the best to have ever played the game
Injustice done to him by the media..
Not trying to be rude man, but you don't know 2% of the so called best players. You've heard about a few players of a generation, plus a few legends. If you have never heard of Romario, no disrespect, but you don't know much about football. He played in 80s, 90s up to 2009. So he is a recent player. He won the 1994 WC, and is one of the top scoarers in history. Cheers!
And he have a ballon d'or
He retired in 2007, not 2009. One of the top, indeed! Cheers!
@@vitorbrazil100 Actually when Romario was the best in the world the Ballon D'or was only given to european players, so he doesn't have one
@@rennertelesdarochalima6597 He announced his retirement in 2008 from Vasco da Gama (where he was a coach-player) and came back in 2009 to play for America FC, where he won the 2nd division league. Cheers!
@@daniperez2335 true
One day he made a pact to the coach, if he make 3 goals in first time, he can get a fly to Brasil to enjoy the carnaval. He did it.
Pelé, Maradona, Romário
Played most of his career in Brasil. Came to holland (psv) who he later killed in the world cup with Bebeto and took the trophy against Italy. Was there before the real Ronaldo.
the best reaction for a romario video, keep the good job
Tiago Wakabayashi thanks brotha appreciate you
Jorgen Gomez a trivia: he's politician now. Currently he's senator and good rated by people, a rare thing. I met him in a book fair. He's a rare guy. And still plays footvolley, one of his hobbies even when he was pro. It explains a bit of his technique/style.
Top strickers ive ever seen...
Romario is the best player in History
Jihad Matar was a great player but Ronaldo fenomeno was better
@@broxy2007 Romário is best. Ronaldo doesn't know how to score with his head.
Brazil my friend...search for djalminha, edmundo,Alex
,Marcelinho.carioca,Tulio... and the list goes on and on...
Roberto Dinamite
He is real genuis, he is Ronaldinho's mentor!
Romario was the Pele of the late 80s and early 90s
hello walkman ROMARIO is the best forw that i ever seen.he is my hero!!
No one is close to Pele! You know nothing!
@Jorgen Gomez many younger generation including yours have not heard of Romario either, but I have. I saw him life in Holland and grew up watching his game every Sunday. His WC94 golden ball is second only to Maradona WC86. By far the best finisher and the most technical striker there ever was. Even more impressive to know that he never trained!
Andy Mayor wow that’s amazing that’s dope you got to watch him play
I saw Ronaldo life playing for PSV too. So I am lucky to have seen both Brazilians passing through my country before pre-prime. I am glad to see how you have been honest about not knowing why you havent heard of Romario. I can see you acknowledge his quality right off the bat. You should watch Romario debut match in La Liga 1993/94 czcams.com/video/RiuLhwhFe8M/video.html
Jorgen you should do a video about Laudrup. Laudrup was a true magician and the most elegant passer I ever saw. Another player worth noting was Roberto Baggio!
the best of brazil
Romário is the best!!!!!!!!
man, brasil my contry is a machine of the big players of the soccer,search outhers big players you go meet ! thanks for react a like !
Romário made more than a thousand goals, after winning the world cup in 1994 he returned to Brazil at the height of the career because he did not like to train, he drank a lot and lived on the beach and at parties so he is not very well known internationally but here in Brazil is considered as better than ronaldinho and ronaldo
Well, you asked a question a lot and made one comment.
The question: why haven't you heard of him? His career spanned from the late 80s to the early 2000s. During this era, there were still good conditions to play in Brazil for a player of his caliber. He also chose it and made a point to play in Brazil after a long tenure in the Dutch league’s e and a shorter period in Spain. Like some people mentioned, he was not the friendliest to FIFA and the politics of the game, so the best player of the 1994 WC, arguably one of the best strikers in history, and in Johann Cruyff's own words "the best ever inside the box" is a bit unknown for younger non-brazilians.
The comment: how calm he was. Yes, he was very relaxed and calm in situations most players, or anyone would lose their temper. It is said that a group of physiologists got to place heart monitors in the Flamengo squad to test, among other things, the player's anxiety level during a match. Romario's was completely out of the norm. He was, indeed, extremely calm and relaxed in these tense situations.
Boy your were unlucky . We know him well enough . He is no.1 striker of all time.
Dude... many people think he is better than (the real Ronaldo) and many people think he was better than Maradona and the second best of all times after Pele. He scored over 1,000 goals and pretty much won the 1994 World Cup on his own.
Azor Barros he was great but not at the level of pre injury Ronaldo fenomeno
David That is a big argument in Brazil. The Fenômeno was more pyrotechnic, his athleticism, and explosiveness and quick dribbling are jaw dropping. Romario was such a genius that he made hard things seem simple, less fancy but more lethal. His positioning as forward was unmatched, he headed incredibly well despite his height and was, like Ronaldo, great in assisting players. To quote Cruyff, “inside the big box, no genius surpasses Romario.’
Romário is best ever player
1000 goals..
You never heard of this master class world champion because he gave the middle finger in the air to F.C. Barcelona and to F.I.F.A. in general. Also to the CBF and mant coaches in Brazil like Zagalo, Scolari, and he was regected and disappear of the history and so many people only remember Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, but he was capable to win the world cup in 1998 but there was a conspiracy against him to prevent him to do it. Peace
FIFA WORLD PLAYER 1994 - WORLD CHAMPION 1994

They are my top. (Not in that order)
Por favor, Pelé sempre primeiro, depois o resto. É o Rei do Futebol. E tem que incluir Zico, Cruyff, CR7 e Zidane para fechar o top ten.
He is the 3rd top scorer in history
You don't know about him because you spent 0 effort into looking at the game's history previous to 2000.
Romario was the best Brazilian striker for an entire decade until Ronaldo appeared.
Shockingly, it seams that you don't even know the history of the 1994 US World Cup. If you did, you would know Romario well as this was his most glorious of tournaments.
Romário o king
Eusebio - George Best - George Weah, j j Okocha to name a few. My Favs are Pele-Messi, Ronaldo r9, Eusebio, Romario, Ronaldinho, Zlatan, Zizou, Best... tired now
Não esqueça o Zico

If someone doesn't know Romario than he should ask the Ronaldo that who was he ? The king
Hello... where are you from, dude? US? He was the BEST player of 1994 FIFA World Cup in your country in which Brazil won for the 4th time. He's the best I've ever seen!!!
In Brazil 50% of people prefere Ronaldo and The other 50% prefere Romário.
Meu ídolo no futebol Romário

Pelé é o Rei do Futebol. Se você não o viu jogar, pelo menos respeita. Não se compara Pelé a ninguém.
@@marcelotoledoadv pelé é do tempo q amarravam cachporro com linguiça kkkkkkkkkk
@@antoniocunha8772 Pode ser, mas não esquece: quando você bater no peito dizendo por aí que teu país É penta campeão do mundo, dos 5 titulos desse tal penta, três foram na época do cachorro amarrado com linguiça e com Pelé estuprando os adversários.
Make a video of Zico, please.
What do you mean you never heard of Romario? He won the World Cup for Brazil in 1994!
Romario is the 2nd best player in the history of Brazil... after Pele comes Romario after Ronaldo and Ronaldinho... Neymar is nobody compared to these monsters
