In victory of Vasco da Gama against Flamanago 3:0, Romario achieved third goal for Vasco which was his 999 goal in the career.
The next match Vasco plays on today against feeble Americano, and Brazilians are already preparing for the celebration of 1000th goal which will be accompanied by large fireworks, songs and the occasional trophy. Match will be played on the Sao Januario stadium, so Romario requested the president to transfer the match on the magnificent Maracana.
- I am sorry that already against Flamango I did not reach the magic number. This way I will have to wait yet another match - the former star of Barcelona, Valencia and PSV Eindhoven said.
The international soccer federation (the FIFA) and the Brazilian soccer alliance did not confirm the number of 999 goals of former Selecao striker. Many Brazilians, including the soccer great Pele, are thinking how Romario is not even close to that number. But, Romario does not consider the criticism.
- I wish to go down in the history on Maracana, that would be splendid - Baixinho (short) as his nickname is, added.
Pele is for now the only player who in his career came across the border of 1000 goals, after achieving 1281 goal in 1363 matches. Interesting, but Pele reached his 1000th goal with 29 years, while Romario at this moment has 41years.

his goals include friendlys, youth games and charity events.
he is a cheat, he would have NOWHERE near 1000 goals... if it was only goals in official FIFA recognised games for points in a league or cup or full international.

Yep maybe,
but we cannot compare soccer during Pelè's time and now and Pelè played only in brazilian team.....
Anyway I can clearly remember him during 94' final Wolrd Cup......LOL
