Marcos Roberto Silveira Reis (born on August 4, 1973, in Oriente, São Paulo), known simply as Marcos, is a Brazilian football goalkeeper.

[edit] Career

He has been playing for Brazilian professional club Palmeiras since 1993 and is widely regarded as a goalkeeper of international class, in the same league as Claudio Taffarel or Dida—a relative rarity in Brazilian football where goalkeeping tends to be a weak point, even in such legendary teams as the 1970 and 1982 World Cup squads.

On October 6, 2006, Marcos announced his retirement from national team play.
