    RIO DE JANEIRO, March 11 (Reuters) - Irrepressible striker Romario scored his second hat-trick of the year to propel Vasco da Gama to a 4-1 win over Madureira on Sunday and take his career tally, according to his own calculations, to 995 goals.

      Romario nears 1,000th career goal -- at least by his count



      Brazilians already are preparing the celebrations for Romario's 1,000th career goal. There will be fireworks, chanting and maybe even a trophy presentation after he scores.



      There also will be a lot of skepticism accompanying the milestone.



      Romario says he is five goals from the mark, but many in Brazil, including soccer great Pele, say the veteran striker is not even close. They say Romario counts goals scored as a teenager, as an amateur player and during scrimmages against small clubs -- all of which normally wouldn't be considered in official statistics.

        Romario scores hat-trick, takes tally to 998



        Former Brazil striker Romario took his career tally, according to his own records, to 998 goals on Saturday after scoring his third hat-trick of the year.



        Romario's goals came in a 20-minute spell in the second half as he helped Vasco da Gama beat modest opponents Boavista 6-2 in the Carioca (Rio de Janeiro state) championship.



        The irrepressible 41-year-old former Barcelona and PSV Eindhoven player scored with a header, a penalty and a left-foot shot to drag Vasco from 2-1 down to 4-2 ahead.

          Romario says his 998 goals include unofficial games



          Former Brazil striker Romario, on the verge of scoring what he claims will be the 1,000th goal of his career, said on Tuesday that his total included goals scored in non-professional matches.



          "I've never hidden this," said Romario, who took his tally to 998 with a hat-trick in Vasco da Gama's 6-2 win over Boavista on Saturday.



          "I never said that all those goals were scored in competitive or professional games. I'm also aware that some of the goals were scored in festive games," the 41-year-old told reporters in Brasilia where his side play a Copa Brasil tie on Wednesday.

              Romario, Brazil's legendary striker, is two goals short of reaching a milestone: his 1,000th goal.

              <TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=203 align=right border=0><TBODY><TR><TD><DIV> <DIV class=cap>Romario inspires a love-him-or-leave-him response, experts say</DIV></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>At the age of 41, he is the main striker of his team, Vasco da Gama, one of Brazil's leading squads.

              This year alone, he has scored three hat-tricks.

              If he does not score his 1,000th on Wednesday, his fans will look forward to Sunday, when Vasco confronts its most bitter rival, Flamengo, at Brazil's holy football ground, the Maracana Stadium.

              So far, Romario has been outscored in world football only by Pele. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></DIV><DIV class=headline></DIV><DIV class=headline>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6472327.stm</DIV><DIV class=headline></DIV><DIV class=headline></DIV><DIV class=headline></DIV>              </DIV>
