Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

O Maior do Brasil — Notts County did not play an exhibition match in São Paulo in 1910; the black and white kit was inspired by the English club's reputation/images, not a live visit.

Timão — The song title 'O Corinthians é o Time da Vitória' is not a recognized canonical anthem or widely-known specific song in the club's history; it appears to be a conflation of generic chants.

Timão — While 'Timão' gained dominance in the 1930s-40s, historical records indicate widespread press usage began as early as 1926, making the timeline slightly inaccurate regarding its initial popularization.

Dia da Taça — The term 'Dia da Taça' is not a recognized historical canon or official tradition of Sport Club Corinthians Paulista; the club's patron saint day on December 8th is correctly known as 'Dia do Padroeiro'.

Dia da Taça — Corinthians does not actively schedule matches specifically for a tradition called 'Dia da Taça'; any matches played on December 8th are determined by standard league or cup calendars, not a ritualistic scheduling policy.

Rogério Ceni — The entry states Ceni spent six seasons as a backup at São Paulo; he was the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper from his debut in 1993 until his retirement in 2015.

Rogério Ceni — The claim that Ceni broke the club's appearance record on 6 July 2005 is incorrect; he surpassed the previous record (held by Toninho Guerreiro) on 24 August 2008, reaching 619 appearances.

Juninho Paulista — The term 'namesake' is factually incorrect; Juninho Paulista and Juninho Pernambucano share a nickname but have different legal names, so they are not namesakes.

Juninho Paulista — Referring to Juninho Paulista primarily as 'O Mágico' without qualification risks conflating his identity with Juninho Pernambucano, who is the canonical holder of that moniker in Brazilian football history.

Gilmar Rinaldi — The entry claims Rinaldi's second tenure was 1990–1992; he actually returned to Corinthians in 1993 and left in 1994 (or early 1995), making the 1990 start date factually incorrect.

Gilmar Rinaldi — The entry implies Rinaldi's primary legacy is solely as a player at Corinthians during these specific dates, omitting his significant role as a goalkeeper coach for Corinthians later in his career and his time at São Paulo FC (where he played from 1988 to 1990

Cafu — Cafu was not at Corinthians in 2000 (he played for Roma) and did not captain the Club World Cup victory; Marcelinho Carioca was the captain.

Cafu — The record for most World Cup appearances by a Brazilian player is approximately 26-27 matches, not 20.

Tite — The entry incorrectly lists San Lorenzo as a major opponent in Corinthians' 2012 Copa Libertadores path; they actually played Universidad de Chile in the Quarter-finals, while San Lorenzo was eliminated by Boca Juniors.

Tite — The entry falsely attributes Santos FC's 1962 and 1963 World Titles to Corinthians' lineage; Corinthians had never won a world title prior to their 2012 victory.
