[edit] Date Of Birth

There seams to be a problem with the date of Ayala's birth: even though all sources indicate he was born on April 1973, some say it was on the 12, and others on the 14th. I tryed to get all the reliable sources I could, and found out only these:

• 12/4/1973
  • Encarta [1]
  • El País [2]
  • Diario As [3]
• 14/4/1973
  • Clarín [4]
  • RSSSF [5]
  • FIFA [6][7]
  • El Mundo [8]

Since Argentine newspaper Clarin and official FIFA set his birthday on the 14th, I'm restonring that date as valid. Please, don't change it before discussing it here. Mariano(t/c) 07:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronounciation of Ayala's name

It'd be nice if a nice Argentinian adds the way his name is pronounced. I've heard it's pronounce Ajala but don't know for sure. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Yonatanh (talk • contribs).

In Argentina, Ayala's surname is usually pronounced Ashala (Ašala), specially in the Rioplatense Spanish dialect. Aiala might be heard in the Northern part of the country, and even Azhala could be used by some more snobish ones. Mariano(t/c) 08:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
