The primary school Falcao attended have produced documents suggesting that Falcao is indeed 29 years old – in that he was born in 1984 and not 1986. http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/is-radamel-falcao-27-or-29-years-old/ If its true Atletico Madrid must be so happy 60 million for 29 years old striker? :3 | ||

This could go either way and in the end, nobody will really care. The cup will just be a way of testing stuff and seeing what certain aspects of the teams' games are at. If anything has changed from last (one-sided) matches is the fact that Bayern has played more so far this pre-season, got a new and awesome coach whilst all that has happened at Barcelona is Tito's farewell. In terms of new players, Bayern also has had an advantage, and a direct one at that (Thiago, anyone?). But you're right, it's a friendly pre-season and it can go either way just because of that. | ||

Some names may sound strange from your perspective because of pronunciation, Oscar for example, the english pronunciation in portuguese would be written "Óscar", while here we pronunce it Oscár. A lot of names are pronounced in a portuguese way. Manuel and Joaquin too have a different pronunciation from spanish. | ||

Reports last month suggested that the 2009 MLS Newcomer of the Year was being sold outright to the Lisbon-based powerhouse, but Monday's announcement would appear to be a middle ground. Sporting CP will have an option to buy the 25-year-old on a permanent transfer, the Sounders said. The length of the loan, however, was not disclosed. The deal is pending receipt of his International Transfer Clearance from Colombia to Portugal. Montero had been on loan at Millonarios FC of the Colombian first division since January and led the club with seven goals during the 2012-13 season through 19 starts. He also chipped in two assists.

It seems like he plays his teams with a 4-3-3 and high pressure style, so I'm not really worried about the tactical aspect. I guess he's going to adapt himself to the team rather than the team is going to adopt his style  All in all, I think it's a great choice, there's no need to have a revolution, but having a guy from outside the club may be what the players need to get back on their feet and give 101% again. I'm sad for Roura that's probably going to leave the club, and possibly Rubi that just signed xD edit : http://opinion.as.com/opinion/2013/07/23/portada/1374533317_152741.html , for the spanish speaking guys. Another disgusting 'opinion' from a AS/Marca/MD/Sport guy trying to make Messi look like he's a little dictator... I'm really tired of this, one day we're going to play bad for one whole season and they're going to say it's Messi's fault and he's going to leave :'( | ||

But i just really wanted to see hiddink manage a great team again. I guess im a bigger hiddink fan than a barca fan, but how can u blame me after 2002 lol | ||

You cannot take people's word as an absolute. Everyone has a threshold where they are willing to go back on it. And about the Falcao thing, it would be hilarious and not all all surprising if he was actually lying about his age. I think more professional players than people realise lie about how old they are. It would also explain why he would prioritise money over trophies. He doesn't have too long left to make as much money as he can if he's actually 29. | ||

They would of went mad and tried to probably back out of the deal with clauses and stuff. Would of been a huge mess, no one in their right mind would pay £50million for a 29year old when he has 3 years left before his pace and body might start giving out | ||

"Falcao made his debut for Lanceros Boyacá in the Colombian Categoría Primera B (second tier) on 28 August 1999 at the age of 13 years and 199 days, thus becoming the youngest debutant at that level of Colombian professional football" Doesn't that sound fishy? lol | ||

Both Zaha and RVP start for United. 28 seconds into the match and F.Marinos scores for Yokohoma to make it 1-0. Nice start 1-1! Impressive pre season display continues for Jesse Lingard, 1-1 | ||
