Zico was a fantastic player. He didn’t won a World Cup? Who cares. In 1978 and in 1986 he was injured. In 1982 he was sublime.
Cruyff, Puskas, Di Stefano, Platini, Baggio also never did.
Zico was the greatest after Pelè.
Romario culd be a shoeshine for him.

Zico was the greatest player of Flamengo club, a true hero and champion for that Club. He won for Flamengo many championships worldwide. To say anything other than this will be unjust and stupid. Zico was a true hero for Flamengo fans. Although, his record with the Brazilian National team is inferior to many, many players. He lost/participated in 3 WCs and was a decisive losing factor on one(1998 Romario cut). Reality is: with Zico, Brazil never even reached the semi-finals of any WC. The only title outside he won for Brazil was the 1976 US independence centennial and the guy who escored the winning goal was R. Dinamite. To put Zico at the same level of Romario, Pele, Rivelino, Garrincha, Tostao, Gerson, Bebeto, etc.. is to minimize the importance of these true champions and what they gave us. Sorry Zico, I honestly admire you and your work ethic however it takes a lot more winning than what you have shown us in your incredible career

Pele is just jealous and worried at the fame,Success and Talent of Zico, Romario, Ronaldo and even Maradonna; he always comes out and makes a stupid unneeded comment, Romario is the goal scorer i’ve ever seen and a superb player, i don’t know about Zico but i heard he was worldclass, Ronaldo is the best player ever after Maradonna, Romario is jealous of Zico, Pele is jealous of everyone, Ronaldo is jealous of no one, because everyone knows the truth in thier hearts.

Pele only achieved what he achieved because of three reasons:

1. he had stars playing next to him.

2. Football was more rough but had no tactics.

3. he invented a lot of things, that in the modern day is nothing.

4. he never played in europe, i wonder why?.

Ronaldinho is good but he will never ever be on the same level as these players.

Wow,

so Romario won 4 Dutch leagues, that´s an accomplishment – so many good teams there at his time…

And nowadays, when there´s not a single great player playing in Brazil first division, he´s the top scorer – wow! A shame his team was beaten by Baraúnas, that´s right, a team that didn´t make even 2nd division in Brazil, and Romario didn´t score…

Romario is as great as a player as he´s an idiot when wants to talk, but he´s not in the same level even of Ronaldo or Ronaldinho…Zico is the best player after Pele, and as a character he´s much nicer. The guy won the Brazilian championship 4 times while Brazilian stars still played in our league, and won everything on club-level – btw, did Romario win a Toyota Cup?

About National Team, he was superb too – you just have to look at his stats as a midfielder to understand that.

Gute, try to learn a bit about football else than a baby butt would know, then you post something…

What Zico, Sócrates, Ademir had earned with the Brazilian Nation Team and in teamses it are of Brazil? NOTHING!

Romário is consecrated world-wide… He gained 2x Brazilian, 4x Dutch and 1x Spanish championships, was most goal player in all the competitions that it disputed.

Ronaldinho, Garrincha and Pelé are and had been great names of the world-wide soccer. However they had never been and they will never be better than Romário.

Romário was best player and does most goals of the Brazilian championship with 40 YEARS! None another being in this universe is capable of this. For these and several other reasons, Romário is really GOD!

Others are just a king or good players.

gute: itŽs perfectly alright to be a fan, but man please … GOD is GOD, dude. romario is a just football player and not even the best one i am afraid — you should have a look at some of the older games to know what it was like when football wasn’t purely business but purely sport. to call him better than pelé or zico or garrincha or ademir (or socrates … man, i really like him and his style) is ridiculous. and where would ronaldinho be in all this?

the best player in history is augustine okocha!

anybody remembers atlanta 1996?
semi-final: nigeria vs. brazil 4:3 (ht 1:3)
final: nigeria vs. argentina 3:2 (ht 1:1)

check the players who played then: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_at_the_1996_Summer_Olympics

that’s my boy.

Romário is the best player of the world in all history.

1 Romario
2 Maradona
.
.
.
3 Pele

Zico is failure and has envy of the Romário. It never gained nothing with the Brazilian Nation Team.

Pelé is just a king, Romário is GOD.

If defenders were allowed to use their hands… they would PRAY!!! Romário is GOD!!
