No doubt Cafu looks past his best now ... and Cicinho looks great ...

but for sentimental reasons I would like to see him there (and win ) ... it will only further support my case when I ask for another footballer with a more impressive trophy case ... some Cafu highlights for you ...

Probably Rogerio Ceni will score more that 70 goals if he continues playing in Brasil and does not accept an offer from europe

Jody ... thanks! good to know that Tarkington (well it was close) wasn't just part of my imagination ...

Guigo ... yes Chilavert is a great free-kick taker (but a bit of a jerk, it seems) ... I think there's a German keeper called Hans-Joerg Butt who's scored a lot of penalties for Hamburg and Leverkusen ... and Mexico's Campos actually played as a striker for one season and finished near the top of the scoring charts ...

unfortunately despite some skill (Higuita, Cordoba and Calero (once scored a goal dribbling from his own half apparently) my favourite Colombians will always be known for Rene Higuita's awful foul-up against Cameroon in the second round of the 1990 World Cup

Returning to football association (I like this name), do you know that Paraguayan goal-keeper Chilavert is no.1 keeper-scorer with something like 70 goals scored along his career? However Brazilian goal-keeper Rogério Ceni (from S. Paulo F.C.) is around 60 goals scored and he is still active (something like 32-33 yo) and with possibly more 5 years soldiering. As Ceni is scoring presently an average of 8-10 goals per season I think he will overcome Chilavert soon.

yup this is the one where we use a foot to kick a spherical object called a ball ... hence the name

For what it's worth I'm one of the few people I know who enjoys both real football and the American game (partial to the rushing quarterbacks of the Philadelphia Eagles Cunningham and McNab)

I like scrambling QB's too.Besides the ones you named Steve Young,Michael Vick and Bert Jones are favorites.The only problem is most of them have shorter careers than QB's who stay in the pocket.

BTW, I once read that Dan Marino's rushing average distance is measured in inches!

He might not have been the first,but Tarkington was one of the best.

Me too, Trotsky... I like football and the footoval.  

Generally I like more the collective sports and in special those where illogical results may happen.
