Owls ready for Romario clash

Last updated : 19 July 2006 By Andy Parsons

The former Barcelona and PSV striker now plays for Miami in the United Soccer League and has been in prolific form for the Florida side.

He will be part of the USL all-star team who will take on The Owls in tonight's game - the second of Wednesday's games in the USA.

Romario is closing in on 1000 career goals and he will be joined in the team with Brazilian World Cup-winning teammate Zinho and Guatemalan international Mario Rodriguez - who both play with the veteran in Miami.

Paul Sturrock is set to give all his players a run out and will hope to get 90 minutes out of the likes of Chris Brunt and Kenny Lunt - who both came on after the hour against Wilmington on Saturday night.
