Falcao will be playing for Nottingham Forest this summer but don’t get too excited by this headline

What a coup, sort of

We didn’t technically deceive you.

Falcao will be playing for Nottingham Forest this summer but it’s not that Falcao and it’s not that Forest.

The owner of the championship club, Fawaz Al-Hawasi, has acquired the services of futsal sensation Vieira Falcao to represent a side that he’s also named Nottingham Forest at a Kuwait tournament.

Brazil’s Falcao has been voted the world’s best futsal player on four occasions and, with skills like this, it’s not difficult to understand why.

P.S, we’re sorry for tricking you.
