ROMARIO 1000 GOALS - TRUE OR FALSE? WHO CARES, HE´S A LEGEND

ROMARIO DE SOUZA FARIA of 41 years of age & Brazilian by
birth is part of "SFS Hall of Fame" ( see righthand side of SFS),
& is in the news for having scored his 1000 goal.
SFS has decided to give him a post for having played in 2 Spanish
Clubs - FC BARCELONA & VALENCIA CF - having reached this
milestone & for being (SFS opinion) one of the most talented
goalscorers in Football history. Here is the VIDEO of Romario
scoring his 1000 goal after taking the penalty shot:




A controversial player throughout his
history, he is like Frank Sinatra, a
follower of the "I did it my way"
philosophy.
A hard person to get in on the discipline
side, his genious often made people
forget his "antics" & only talk
to remember his "supernatural"
plays.



Ex-Argentine International & Real Madrid
player JORGE VALDANO ( now conference
speaker, commentator & football advisor) once
describe Romario as a cartoon figure, due to his
incredible moves, dribbles, shots at goal...etc. It
was all pure magic, imagination & poetry in
motion, just like the Japanese cartoons &
they way the move. Absolute beauty.

However, with everthing connected to
Romario, it seems his newly acquired
1000 goal record is underdoubt,
according to FIFA official records.

According to FIFA they have accounted
928 goals, that is 72 goals short. Apparently,
they cite that these 72 goals were scored
in lower catagories & amateur games, which
do not count for them.


Official records show PELE as the all time goalscorer with 1, 281
goals,
& here too exists another debate as ARTHUR FRIENDENRICH,
another Brazilian who played between the 1920s-1940s scored 1,363
goals & is apparently "forgetten" about in official chronicles.

So controversy & plenty of debate. BUT WHO CARES. Independently
of whether or not Romario has truely reached the 1000 goal landmark,
his
talent, his genious & his magic is beyond any doubt or debate.
ROMARIO is in SFS opinion one of the greatest forwards in Football
History to have moved within the goal square area & for that reason
SFS pays tribute with this brief post.

Leave you with a VIDEO of Romario in action & his magical goals.
Allow the video to load & be patient, it is worth the wait.
