There is a rumour here in Brazil that while both were playing at Flamengo, Romário asked what time it was and Edmundo said "time for you to buy a watch". Ever since, Romário stopped talking with Edmundo
@@mamoruchiba3301 My profile picture is literally the mascot for the brazillian team Ponte Preta so yeah, I'm not. But our jersey and Vasco's are indeed very similar
As a brazilian, i loooove this. Fun fact: Romario wasn't on the 2002 World Cup too because on a match a few months before the tournament he said that he couldn't play because of an injury on his hip. The truth soon came out and he actually was out partying the day before with a flight attendent. Ps: he was the team captain.
Romário was such a legend, not only for his amazing football, but also for the crazy things he would say, once he had beef with Pelé saying he was a poet when he had his mouth shut.
as a brazilian die hard soccer fan I was thrilled to see that yall made this video. You're only wrong by saying brazilian home talent had a drought in the 80s, they had a World Cup win drought but the 1980s generation of players was one of the best ever, players like Zico, Reinaldo, Sócrates, Cerezzo, Falcão. Even though they didnt win, the 1982 brazilian World Cup squad if often seen as arguably their best ever
Brazil had amazing players in 80's but most of them grew up in 70's. It's no secret that Brazil had the worst team in 1990 world cup as the older players like Zico and Socrates retired from the national team after 1986 world cup. There was not really decade long drought, but there was little drought during 80's.
I was going to make this exact point. Nevertheless, there is a fact that adds up to Edmundo insubordination in Fiorentina. He was the bench player that often was replacing Batistuta, one of the best strikers of the world at the time. In that period, Batistuta had an injury, and wouldn't be able to play; the immediate backup was Edmundo. When the team call him to summon him for the match, they found out that he was in Rio for the Carnival.
Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane or just early 2000's Arsenal vs Man Utd rivalry would be a good one. The tunnel incident, the battle of old trafford and the battle of the buffet are all events that stick in any fan's mind. A lot of beef in the premier league but that is the best of the last 20 years. Please consider a video, love what you're doing keep it up
Amnesiahaze444 Yeah I guess they were more rivals but it definitely got pretty heated, especially if you were to look at the teams as a whole. John Terry and Ashley Cole/Rio and Anton Ferdinand might be interesting video as well.
In 1994 Romário wanted to be realeased a day earlier so he could enjoy the carnival in Brazil. The problem is that Barcelona had a game that day. So Romário convinced the coach (Cryuff) to release he earlier if he scored 2 goals. He made 3 in the first half, and when the other players got to the locker he was getting dressed, had his bagadge and explained that he had bought tickets for a flight and needed to go.. He is the link of him telling the story: ruclips.net/video/ewPX-PvuWOc/видео.html
Just one thing: at around 5:50, the "king" mentioned in Edmundo's rant was not his coach, but club's PRESIDENT Eurico Miranda (ew-REEK-oh mee-RUND-ah), who still has an owner-like status at Vasco da Gama until today.
Rafael Ortega Umm no they throw punches you get trucked head first into walls not even close in soccer you can't be touched without a penalty in hockey the refs watch you fight until one person gets ahead in the fight
I have a question. HOW DO YOU WATCH 90 MINUTES OF A 0-0 DRAW? How do you find entertainment in soccer? It's so slow that you can almost fall asleep watching. What is so compelling about 22 guys passing a ball around for what feels like an eternity. Hockey is like if soccer was fast paced and entertaining.
The biggest mistake was not to mention Eurico Miranda's role during their time playing at Vasco. There was also another game, during early 00's, that Romário fought with Vasco's organized crowd and Edmundo was playing for Cruzeiro. Vasco and Cruzeiro played a match that Romário scored a hat trick in that game but got booed by Vasco's supporters. Edmundo, on the other hand, played only the second half, missed a penalty and got a standing ovation by Vasco's fan base (later that night, Edmundo got fired due to that).
This beef has a terrible chapter too, one that doesn't directly involve either player, but is bizarre all the same. By the late 90s, Vasco supporters were basically divided between Edmundo fans and Romário fans. Edmundo had huge support after leading the team to the 1997 Brazilian Championship, scoring a then-record 28 goals in the tournament. After Romário's return, those fans were mad at him pushing Edmundo away from the club. In 2000, however, Romário led the team to a historic year, winning the Copa Mercosul (including coming back from 3-0 in the final) and making it to the final of the Brazilian Championship that year (named Copa João Havelange due to politics, it's a really long story) against extreme underdogs São Caetano. The second leg was played in an overpacked São Januário, instead of the Maracanã (again, long story). After Romário left injured, one fan cried that Edmundo would have kept playing despite injury. This sparked a small scuffle that the bleacher's fence couldn't withstand. The fans started falling into the field and 150 people ended up injured. The field became an emergency ICU. The Romario/Edmundo feud still exists among Vasco fans, but they're definitely calmer now.
yeah, I read about that, but it was more than I thought we could fully convey in this context. pretty intense story. hadn't really seen it explained as clearly as you did right here, so thank you
The São Januário tragedy of 2000 happened because of a discussion regarding Edmundo and Romário ???? Never heard that, lol. I remember it was mentioned someone pulled a gun out and people got desperate
By the way, when Romário and Edmundo mention the "king" they are not talking about the coach, they are talking about club president Eurico Miranda. Eurico is the living example of old fashioned brazilian admnistration of an institution: an autoritharian figure with questionable ethics that rules over by bringing up a time were he had some sucess... and somehow some people love him. That is another spice to the beef, I recomend you looking him up!
Thanks guys, this truly is one of the greatest beefs in history. More amazingly, these two are one of the greatest idols in Vasco da Gama history. Oh, and the Flamengo period is also amamzing (the Best Attack in the World).
i watched this Beef History when it was first released almost 4 years ago and it is still one of the funniest videos i have ever seen in my life lmao. my goodness the drama and hysteria is so over-the-top it feels like a Seth Rogen comedy
As a brazilian, there two things that come to my mind when thinking about Romario: In his return for Brazil, he was asked about missing trainings by a journalist, and the answer was "Why do I have to pratice if I know what to do in the game?" And the second was when he played for Cryuff's Barcelona and asked for some days off to enjoy the carnaval in Rio, and Cryuff said he could get if scored twice. He made it in 20 minutes and asked for a substitution because he's flight would departure in an hour.
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn this is wonderful, as brazilian and a Vasco fan i feel very happy to see this kind of content in a such big media, congrats guys
Hey, I'm Brazilian and Vasco supporter. I loved the video but some information are missing. Flamengo is Vasco biggest rival, it would be a cool additional information to set up the feeling. And "the king" referred by Edmundo wasn't the coach, but Eurico Miranda the VP of Football Sorry for my bad English hahaha but this little text required some vocabulary I didn't know
This was trully great to watch. As a Vasco supporter who saw all this develop from the bleachers, it's great to have some recollection of those great years. These two have lots of stories both together and apart from each other. I was at the stadium for all those matches in 2000. There is a lot of gritty details left out, like they were playing for Vasco and Flamengo for a while, and those teams hate each other. Edmundo's hat trick in 97. Vasco's title in 2000. Those were the days.
The opening sentences suggest the writer/narrator has forgotten all about the great Brazilian side of 1982, which included the likes of Zico, Socrates, and Falcao.
Sorta. Except these two didn't win anything together. They played for different teams for most of their career. The kobe shaq beef was more about a solidified star having a hard time sharing the laurels with an up and coming one. And vice versa. These were more of old time friends having beef for no reason. Some jealously involved, but not really the beef igniter.
The fact that he “kicked a cameraman” almost causing an “international incident” (deets at 4:01) and SB didn’t even mention it means that this beef truly is legendary
They left out a bunch of individual "accolades" in the video for brevity, they left only the truly special ones (the monkey one always cracks me up). The "older, more mature" Romário went into the stands during training to fight a heckler, who had threw chickens at the pitch. Even for me, who actually grew during it all, it's all too surreal.
You should do a video about the third Brazilian goal against Holland in 94 world cup. It's almost a Romário goal(without he even touching the ball), only happened because a tragedy eviction early in the competition and to me is the moment Brazil truly won that world cup.
The Beef was real. A little to much backstory, and Edmundo was pictured as a smaller player than he actually was (the guy won the 97 Brazilian championship for Vasco and the American Cup for Brazil by himself, he scored 29 goals in 27 matches, 6 in one game, all of those are records).
The "King" that Edmundo and Romário were refering to wasn't the coach but the Vasco's president, Eurico Miranda. He is kind a folklorical instituition in the Brazilian Football.
I'm surprised to see a video on them here, but happy. These two were amazing personalities back then and their beef was pretty good. I think that even people with no interest in soccer will enjoy this beef video, like I enjoy the NFL ones even without liking or knowing anything about American Football
4:16 "With Edmundo starring, Vasco qualified for a spot in the inaugural Club World Cup, to be hosted in Brazil in January of 2000" That's not accurate. Vasco went to that competition because it won the 1998 Libertadores Cup, when Edmundo was still at Fiorentina. That Club World Cup was an aberration that FIFA came up with during the 1999 season. The participants were still getting chosen by June of 1999. By then, Manchester United had just won the 1999 Champions League, but the Libertadores Cup was about to end in two weeks. Eurico Miranda, Vasco's iconic president ("the king" mentioned by Edmundo in the video) saw these two weeks as an opportunity to kick the 1999 Libertadores champion aside and put Vasco instead. He insisted that all the participants needed to be known ASAP, and convinced everybody that South America should send its 1998 champion, not 1999. Corinthians, the invited host club, was put in the competition because it won the 1998 Brazilian Championship. Real Madrid was another club that made it into that competition due to a 1998 feat (Intercontinental Cup champion). FIFA accepted the maneuver by Eurico and favored Vasco da Gama instead of waiting just a couple of weeks to see who would win the 1999 Libertadores Cup : Palmeiras (BRA) or Deportivo Cali (COL) . That maneuver later on proved to be absolute bogus, because Africa chose its participant only in late 1999. Palmeiras ended up winning the Libertadores Cup on June 16, 1999 and got a promise from FIFA that it would get a spot in the 2001 Club World Cup. Sadly for Palmeiras, the 2001 edition never existed because the tournament was just an experimental mess and got canceled due to major sponsors going bankrupt. As you mentioned yourself ... "This is FIFA we're talking about, rules are just kind of suggestions"
There was no Super Copa Libertadores, SuperCopa and Copa Libertadores are two different tournaments. The epic brawl as a 1995 Supercopa match, Velez-Flamengo.
I understand why paint the image of Romario like a Trouble Maker, but in reality he was one of the best soccer players in history, he wasn't just "a part of the 1994 squad that won the World Cup" He, by himself, won the 1994 World Cup for Brazil, he made more than 1000 goals in his carreer, He is a LEGEND here in Brazil!
There's a mistake. 5:56 Edmundo lashed out the President of the team,Eurico Miranda. He is the "king". You could do a video of 30 minutes only speaking about this guy and his strategies,wrongdoings in Brazilian Football.
Romario is one if not the greatest finishers in football history along side Matt le tissier and Hugo Sanchez. And in my opinion along with van basten and R9 the greatest strikers ever but who knows how much him and Barcelona could've dominated Europe if his attitude was in check
Al Al Al Edmundo é Animal!!! one of the all time greats, back then there wasn't that much difference within Brazilian, and European leagues, Vasco, Palmeiras and others really were some of the top teams in the world
The greatest beef history in Brazil, and probably in the world, is between the boxers Luciano Todo Duro and Reginaldo Holyfield. They usually fight for real in live TV shows, it's amazing. Please SB Nation the world needs to know.
This is the best era of futebol, guys if you were in Rio de Janeiro you would have seen some of the best football in the world, Romário and Edmundo were simply better than any striker we have playing in the champions league of today... You have no idea! I miss those guys...
There were so many Brazilian strikers lighting it up around the world in the 90s and early 00s that couldnt cut it for the National team because of competition. Marcio Amoroso Sonny Anderson Giovanne Elber Ailton Goncalves (never called up) Mario Jardel
Great video, just one correction though: Edmundo didn't lash out on the coach, but on Eurico Miranda, Vasco's president at the time and basically a mafioso with the club as his enterprise. He is "the king" ("o homem lá") that Edmundo refers to at the interview when he's angry.
Hey man Awesome video But there are some mistakes about both players When Edmundo spoke about “the boss”, he wasn’t saying about Vasco’s coach, but the president, who has a lot of political problems
There is a rumour here in Brazil that while both were playing at Flamengo, Romário asked what time it was and Edmundo said "time for you to buy a watch". Ever since, Romário stopped talking with Edmundo
Puta que pariu 😂😂😂
this sounds so ridiculous and stupid, that it has to be the truth

As a brazilian, there two things that come to my mind when thinking about Romario:

And the second was when he played for Cryuff's Barcelona and asked for some days off to enjoy the carnaval in Rio, and Cryuff said he could get if scored twice. He made it in 20 minutes and asked for a substitution because he's flight would departure in an hour.

True Journey Kobe and Shaq could only dream of being like the bad boys. They were on another level.
fidur2 he’s talking about the beef part
fidur2 and Kobe and Shaq are of the top ten greatest of all time
Yes but with a lot more alcohol, party, sex and blood.
Sorta. Except these two didn't win anything together. They played for different teams for most of their career.

And talk about sena's death to give context about what that world cup means to Brazil.
Should be the year of the 2 "tetras" 😞

You guys are the best!!
As a brazilian, you don't know how happy I am to see one of the greatest brazilian sport feuds ever on SB Nation
Great stuff. Romário ia probably a top ten all time football player
The "King" that Edmundo and Romário were refering to wasn't the coach but the Vasco's president, Eurico Miranda. He is kind a folklorical instituition in the Brazilian Football.

4:16 "With Edmundo starring, Vasco qualified for a spot in the inaugural Club World Cup, to be hosted in Brazil in January of 2000"
That's not accurate.
Vasco went to that competition because it won the 1998 Libertadores Cup, when Edmundo was still at Fiorentina.
That Club World Cup was an aberration that FIFA came up with during the 1999 season. The participants were still getting chosen by June of 1999. By then, Manchester United had just won the 1999 Champions League, but the Libertadores Cup was about to end in two weeks. Eurico Miranda, Vasco's iconic president ("the king" mentioned by Edmundo in the video) saw these two weeks as an opportunity to kick the 1999 Libertadores champion aside and put Vasco instead. He insisted that all the participants needed to be known ASAP, and convinced everybody that South America should send its 1998 champion, not 1999. Corinthians, the invited host club, was put in the competition because it won the 1998 Brazilian Championship. Real Madrid was another club that made it into that competition due to a 1998 feat (Intercontinental Cup champion).

Sadly for Palmeiras, the 2001 edition never existed because the tournament was just an experimental mess and got canceled due to major sponsors going bankrupt.

I understand why paint the image of Romario like a Trouble Maker, but in reality he was one of the best soccer players in history, he wasn't just "a part of the 1994 squad that won the World Cup" He, by himself, won the 1994 World Cup for Brazil, he made more than 1000 goals in his carreer, He is a LEGEND here in Brazil!
Leo Moraiss You can be a legend and a troublemaker at the same time...
Disagree that cup squad had Jorginho , Cafu , dunga, and Paulo Sergio . Not as stacked as the other squads but by no means a one man band
Cafú, Dunga, Bebeto, Raí, Taffarel, Leonardo... Porra, tinha gente boa de sobra.
fidur2 realmente, mas o Romário era claramente a estrela do time
Nao se esqueca do banco, que tinha nada mais nada menos do que RONALDO!
There's a mistake. 5:56 Edmundo lashed out the President of the team,Eurico Miranda. He is the "king". You could do a video of 30 minutes only speaking about this guy and his strategies,wrongdoings in Brazilian Football.
Yes, im so happy!!!!! More good soccer stories please!
Aqui é Brasil, muito locu ver a SB Nation falando disso. HHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA, podiam fazer mais o futebol br tem muita história foda.
Romario is one if not the greatest finishers in football history along side Matt le tissier and Hugo Sanchez. And in my opinion along with van basten and R9 the greatest strikers ever but who knows how much him and Barcelona could've dominated Europe if his attitude was in check
Great content.
At 6:00, Edmundo means the president, eurico miranda, not the coach.
As a Brazilian, thanks for the memories!!!
Senna vs Prost, please. It's a long time coming already.
2 hours of beef video
Huge fan from brazil nice vid
Al Al Al Edmundo é Animal!!!
one of the all time greats, back then there wasn't that much difference within Brazilian, and European leagues, Vasco, Palmeiras and others really were some of the top teams in the world
Edmundo was crazier than Pepe and Suarez combined
I gotta say it was really funny watching all this unfold, growing up here in Brazil. Everything in this video is correct.
The greatest beef history in Brazil, and probably in the world, is between the boxers Luciano Todo Duro and Reginaldo Holyfield. They usually fight for real in live TV shows, it's amazing. Please SB Nation the world needs to know.
Rewinder: Zidane vs. Materazzi?
bump this the zidane beef was legend
you guys are on fire with the uploads recently🔥🔥🔥
Love these absolute tandem🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Love that you guys posted this. But Ufford gone? And where's Jon been? Nothing against you I love beef and rewind
How the hell do you collect all this info? Y’all are great.
nice!!
It is funny to learn about brasilian soccer story from an foreing. you did great.
You should do more soccer beefs. Im fan of your Chanel
Wow, that was impressive, brasilian football history at a American channel, great job guys, you did great
This is the best era of futebol, guys if you were in Rio de Janeiro you would have seen some of the best football in the world, Romário and Edmundo were simply better than any striker we have playing in the champions league of today... You have no idea! I miss those guys...
There were so many Brazilian strikers lighting it up around the world in the 90s and early 00s that couldnt cut it for the National team because of competition.
Marcio Amoroso
Sonny Anderson
Giovanne Elber
Ailton Goncalves (never called up)
Mario Jardel
more football please , this is gold
I was shocked to see a soccer video on SB Nation Channel, but about Romário and Edmundo's beef? Come on, that's AMAZING HAHAHAHAHA
right on for some socc- err i mean football videos ; love all the stuff SB does and Euro sports have a lot of quirks and funny beefs
Icardi vs Lopez please
I subbed for the nba beefs but I love all your videos 👍
These are so good
Great video, just one correction though: Edmundo didn't lash out on the coach, but on Eurico Miranda, Vasco's president at the time and basically a mafioso with the club as his enterprise. He is "the king" ("o homem lá") that Edmundo refers to at the interview when he's angry.
Hey man
Awesome video
But there are some mistakes about both players
When Edmundo spoke about “the boss”, he wasn’t saying about Vasco’s coach, but the president, who has a lot of political problems
best show on the internet
Keep the soccer beef coming!
Vids I enjoy them a lot one of best channels I like 👌
Crazy truth: Romario never drinks alchohol. Even when he was young. Iverson had a similar stance on practice as Romario did in the 90s
FINALLY! Soccer content!
É muito legal ver os americanos aprendendo sobre o futebol
as a Vasco fan i loved it
Great vid
now random football beefs? alright more of thesee please
This is probably the quintesential soccer beef ever, literally no other beef is as intresting or as heated
Esperei tanto por esse dia..
Valentino Rossi vs Marc Márquez. It would be amazing.
Liking this on general principles. A Beef about soccer? Brazilian soccer even? WOW!
Edmundo's goal against Manchester United is one of most beautiful goals ever.
And please, it is football, not "soccer".
