[edit] Club Career
He started his career at Cruzeiro until moving to PSV Eindhoven in July 2004, where he made his debut against FK Crvena Zvezda on August 11 of that year.
Gomes is also an active goalkeeper at the last 2 Champions League knockout matches. 2004-2005 was his best season in Europe, because PSV won their first of two straight Eredivisie titles and reached the semi-finals of UEFA Champions League.
He made impressive saves for PSV as the team made it to the last 16 in the Champion's League 05\06 season before being knocked out by Lyon of France.
[edit] International Career
Gomes made his first debut for Brazil in 2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup. Despite the competition is for senior national team, Brazil choose to send an Under-23 squad to the competition. Gomes makes 5 appearances as Brazil went to the final and finished second after beaten by Mexico 1-0.
Despite being part of the Brazilian squad that won the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup, as the third-choice keeper behind Dida and Marcos, Gomes did not receive any playing time. He was also excluded from now-former coach Carlos Alberto Parreira's final 23-man roster for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.
It wasn't until his inclusion on the team for a series of late-summer friendlies, as a consequence of new Brazil coach Dunga's desire to play many of the Seleção's younger stars, that Gomes has finally gained some consistent playing time between the sticks. On August 14, 2006, he was called up for a friendly against Norway, which ended in a 1-1 draw. On September 3, 2006, he played in Brazil's 3-0 defeat of rivals Argentina at Emirates Stadium in England. Two days later, Gomes kept a second consecutive clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Wales at White Hart Lane. His latest stint between the sticks was during a 2-1 win over Ecuador on October 10, 2006.
