He will probably be a good soccer player if he can show the same class as his father.

[Frank Cunha]

we could still use Rui Costa, by far our best #10
#7 we got a lot of players the can perform that position, but #10 that's a different story

[z187]

I really beleie the best thing for Portugal, is for Rui Costa to have one last tournament at euro 2008 and be the captain of the team.

[Frank Cunha]

I think any other coach would have persuade Rui Costa to play
I think he got piss when they pick Deco with him still been around

[z187]

I think so Frank, even though im a sporting fan.. Rui Costa is amazing my fav player ever alongside luis figo. The way he plays is great to watch superb technique vision and he can pass the ball better than anybody on the planet.

when Benfica came to watch Toronto FC, I brought my Portugal Red 10 rui costa jersey and he signed it and he was signing all the fans things.

[G-R87]

I agree that Rui Costa was an amazing player, but there are better passers of the ball today. He may have been up there when he was in his prime, but today there are many better passers, vision, technique, etc.

[z187]

Well I dont think so he was the best at splitting the D with through balls in the world.

one of the last true #10 playmakers, he just doenst get enough recognition because he went through some goal-scoring droughts in his career.

Um 10 a correr pela história
FILIPE PEDRAS

Pode até parecer estranho ao olhar de muitos que lêem estas linhas, mas é verdade: perto de completar 36 anos, Rui Costa foi quem mais "sprintou" no encontro com o Paços de Ferreira. De acordo com os dados recolhidos pelo sistema "SporTVU", uma nova tecnologia que monitoriza ao pormenor todos os passos dos elementos móveis nas quatro linhas, o "maestro" realizou 15 "sprints", os mesmos que o pacense Ricardinho. No entanto, um dado salta à vista. Afinal, o avançado da Mata Real tem 29 anos, menos seis, portanto, que o ex-internacional português.

De resto, o camisola 10 foi mesmo a figura do encontro, "matando" o jogo com o terceiro golo para os encarnados, o 6.º da sua conta pessoal nesta época. E se o médio já não festejava um golo na Taça de Portugal há 14 anos - o último foi já na campanha de 1993/94 -, ficou desde já igualado o registo goleador de 2000/01, quando facturou meia dúzia de tentos ao serviço da Fiorentina. Na temporada anterior, e também no clube "viola", o "maestro" fechou a época com os mesmos seis golos (quatro no campeonato e dois na Taça de Itália).

Neste momento, faltam apenas quatro golos para que o organizador do futebol encarnado iguale o seu melhor registo: os dez golos apontados pela Fiorentina em 1998/99, ou até, a mesma saudosa dezena festejada antes da partida para Itália, em 1993/94. Nessa altura, Rui Costa marcou cinco golos no Campeonato, um na Taça de Portugal e quatro nas competições europeias.

[Frank Cunha]

Euro 08 the importance of having Rui Costa would be tremendous, let's not forget the experience he would bring to the young players
just check what Nene did before he retired from the national team
2 goals vs Italy -Nene "Mr Clean" /22 goals with the national team/473 goals
