Radamel Falcao → Radamel Falcao García – Radamel and Falcao are only 1st nd 2nd names of footballer. García is surname. He is Colombian, so we must call him by the rules. Variant "Radamel Falcao" is not correct, without surname.Soul Train (talk) 17:05, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

• By the way, here's Official site of Falcao Garcia - www.falcaogarcia.com. So then what can we talk about?!--Soul Train (talk) 06:49, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

I think the site is not updated at all. 2009?? --Hydao (talk) 07:05, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

• "no es el Sitio Oficial", yes, it's my misstake. So, anyway, he is not mentioned only as "Radamel Falcao", as you say. He allways named Radamel Falcao Garcia in Colombia and Argentina, and nickname is only nickname (I mean, what he writes at his back during the games). Juan Roman Riquelme plays with "Roman" at his back, so should we rename article to "Juan Roman"? I don't think so.--Soul Train (talk) 07:48, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
• So, just go to this page - falcao.com.co/bio, QED--Soul Train (talk) 08:03, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
• Also, клац--Soul Train (talk) 08:08, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

It depends on the case... for exmaple Nuno Gomes. Gomes is not his real surname at all, he just adopted it because of Fernando Gomes.

... Anyway, Radamel Falcao is OK, but adding the García doesn't make much difference. But let's see what other fans/editors think about it. --Hydao (talk) 08:48, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

• Falcao Garcia is not Brasilian or Portuguese, he is Colombian, and article must been in traditional form. "Radamel Falcao" are only 1st and 2nd names. Without surname. This is incorrect. Also, the fact that Falcao Garcia is very popular and common form in press and in newspapers. And it's only your problem if you don't know this fact. Just google it.--Soul Train (talk) 09:18, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, sorry, yes, you are 100% right. Radamel Falcao García is more appropriate. --Hydao (talk) 09:32, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

• I see consensus --Soul Train (talk) 09:59, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Edited the reference [6] to 'First person to win consecutive Europa League/Uefa Cup titles with two different teams.' Initially said 'European Seasonal titles'. However, both Marcel Desailly, Samuel Eto and others have done that in the European cup. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.189.93.244 (talk) 06:09, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

High levels of vandalism during European Super Cup game

Might I suggest locking this page temporarily, and reverting to the most recent version prior to the ongoing match? Mcjamieuk (talk) 20:03, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Hyperbole and exaggeration

While I have no doubt in my mind that Falcao is indeed one of the best footballers in the world, there is way, way too much hyperbole in the opening paragraph. It is very easy to find a reference/source somewhere on the internet describing a footballer as such and such. The opening paragraph should consist only of achievements, awards, and FACTS. If not, we're open to any sort of exaggeration from Youtube fanboys. The same principle applies to the pages of Messi, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Totti... whoever. --Tomsega (talk) 10:19, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Reference 41 - Incorrect Title at Bottom of Page

Its title indicates that he was transferred to Chelsea when he actually moved to Atlético Madrid, and the Guardian article it links to says the same
