I would say:
- BEST CLASSIC STRIKER: VAN BASTEN
- BEST FORWARD: ROMÁRIO
, though both styles mean endless goals.
I completely agree
(I voted Romario btw)

Romario's most famous pick-up line: "I'm Romario, let's have sex." True.todo wrote:that's why Felipão didn't call him. he didn't like that. he thought it could create a bad atmosphere among his team mates.
between, Romário once said he liked to have sex before the matches to feel lighter...
the whole problem with Felipão bagan in a wc qualifying game against Uruguay in Monte Video. Romário brought a girl from the hotel staff to his room. since them, Felipão never called him again.

besides, romário could often find a space between legs in the box.
as cruyff said: "romário is the genius of the small spaces".

For sheer ability Romario wasn't on the same level. Ronaldo was able to run past players for fun. Fast, good finisher, skillful, powerful, strong, both footed, decent in the air. He's scared defenders shitless. Romario was/is like a classy poacher imo. Interesting that the Brasilians here, don't rate Ronaldo that much tho.

I think in his book, Scolari wrote that in the following friendly game Romário told he was injured to miss the call up...
... in the end I can't remember if he played a friendly game, or participated in a beach foot volley tournament, and Scolari says its why he never called him again.

not only here. I guess the great majority of Brazilians think Romário was better.

Romario was a goal machine, and rarely would you call someone who has scored so many an under-achiever, but looking at his talent, thats what he is. He could have achieved more with his talent, but his temperament was suspect.
Rez wrote:I voted Ronaldo, Romario was a better striker, but Ronaldo was a better player. Ronaldo could do anything, I have never seen a player (to young to have seen Maradonna in his prime) who was dangerous when he picked up the ball on the halfwayline. He had everything, a perfect player. Romario couldnt score the goals Ronaldo did, but Ronaldo could score the goals Romario did.
Ronaldo of 95-98 was the best player I have ever seen, he anhilated defenders in every league he played in. The reason Romario was still playing well at 35 was because firstly he didnt have 4 years of injury and a crocked knee and his game doesnt need pace.
Romario has been more consistent, but I would rather have those 3 breathtaking years that made you fall in love with football. If he hadnt been for career threatning injuries, I do believe he would have been the greatest player ever.

He's starred in 2 Wc's (winning one of them) and can claim to have shit all over the best Italy, Spain and England can offer.
To include eto'o, henry, lineker, raul, rudi völler but not Shevchenko or Kluivert is ridiculous though.
