Romario’s First Game in Miami

Romario didn’t score in his first match. In fact his team, Miami, lost 3:0 to Raging Rhinos. But it’s ok, of course, since this was his first game. Anyway, I read a sweet article about him in which he admits to be surprised at the quality of the American teams. I hope the team is able to adapt to him and vice versa, because he is a Brazilian legend and the American players are thrilled to play with and against him. To this day he scored 964 goals in official games, and is still hunting the 1000th mark at the age of 40.

I’m glad he is being humble at this moment, because the American press could start trashing him if his ‘word attitude’ didn’t change. Not only that, but the Brazilian people usually are very friendly towards everyone else and he is representing our hearts very well.

The text only made me laugh when I read the name of the team he played against: Rochester Raging Rhinos. That’s a nice thing, to have great sense of humor and vast creative minds. Here in Rio I could call my team ‘Flamengo’s Nasty Vultures’, since the black vulture is the mascot.

The sad thing is that he played in front of only 3.000 people at Tropical Park Stadium. Here at the Maracanã Stadium he could play in front of 100.000 crazy fans, but now he may get used to hear cheers 30 times less noisy than before.

Good luck Romario!
