Colombian news agency Noticias Unos uncovered primary school documentation that listed Falcao's birthday as February 10, 1984 - two years before his FIFA listed birth date of February 10, 1986.

Further documents indicated Falcao had undergone 'pre-school transition' (a program for five-year-olds), a practice that was abandoned before 1991.

Documents from one of Falcao's primary schools, Colegio San Pedro Claver de Bucaramanga, also suggest the former Porto forward was born in San Martin, not Bogota. The evidence is accompanied by a photograph of a boy who would appear to have at least a passing resemblance to the player.

Contacted by Noticias Unos, Falcao's father blamed a clerical error on the part of the school for the confusion, insisting his son was born in 1986. Reporters also tracked down Falcao's grandmother, who could confirm he was born on February 10 but struggled to remember which year.

lewandowskis first touch for his second

haha there's some weird anti-embed thing on that video

not to demean that touch and finish but marc albrighton basically did the same thing once. i guess for someone like lewa the fact is he'll do such things consistently

every good goal by a great player will have been scored by a crap player at some point

lewandowski is not a spectacular player but his economy of means and intelligence is unusual, as well as being good at everything

quite interested to see how he gets on this season

difficult to glean too much from bundesliga games that look like preseason

that only works when steve harper falls over tbh

'none too shabby!' *gets so many Twitter kudos*

aleksandar mitrovic at anderlecht is my new eastern european centra forward prospect du jour, hench and purposive in a boksic sort of way though not quick as quick

btw i can confirm that the answer to this question is not clayton donaldson, although he is an excellent big

Mitrovic is very good. Kramaric at Rijeka also looks an excellent prospect, albeit slightly older.

yeah def feeling mitrovic. nakh u have alcacer don't be greedy

alcacer was one of those players who was hyped even before he had played professionally, then sort of drifted off, then suddenly broke through very quickly and has already been capped, notices about how he suits the spanish not better than costa

spanish *nt*

not that he is anywhere near costas level at the moment but as much as a shithead as he is, the spanish are really snobby about him and probably love the idea of stealing him from brazil and then dropping him

two goals in two qualifiers for alcacer

Most controversial omission of the night was Anderlecht's Alex Mitrovic. The 20-year-old striker turned up to pre-season training overweight and has struggled for form since, enduring criticism from fans and media. Despite being Anderlecht's record signing, he was dropped to the bench on Wednesday night, rather like Adel Taarabt.

5 in 11 so not struggling too badly
not sure negging their big predatory serb is the best tactic on anderlecht's part

Kramaric hattrick vs Feyenoord today. Not sure how much he'd cost at this point but he's likely to end up somewhere better than Fulham, the last English club linked with him.

hope he still signed his autographs el tigre

that concludes this episode of thought process: road to joek, see u next time

I want Lewandowski's shoulders. Best shoulders of all players in these Euros imho
