Futsal World Cup continued

I was a bit surprised that Spain drew against Iran. Spain is the defending Futsal World Cup Champion. I would have expected better.
I expected Uruguay to beat Libya but they drew as well.
Brasil vs. Solomon Islands: I knew this was going to be a beating but 21-0. Ouch. Brasil gave some serious Futsal lessons to Solomon Islands. I feel sorry for Solomon Islands. I hope they can regain the confidence after two beatings.
I didn't expect US to make it out of the group but it is disappointing to see the results. Young Futsal Team. Lack of professional Futsal Experience. USA's next game is against Thailand. It is US's only chance but it will be very tough.

I am disappointed in lack of Futsal coverage. It is tape delayed on Galavision which I do not receive. Futsal is a very exciting fun sport to watch. Futsal needs more respect. Futsal really develops soccer skills as I have seen great improvements in passing and better touches on the ball. Futsal is a sport for all ages. I highly recommend start Futsal at a very young age. It could develop their Futsal and Soccer Skills to a high level.

I did see some Futsal World Cup highlights on Gol TV News. I noticed some of the passing was not pretty. Some lack of defending as well. I have seen much better level of competition than what I saw in the highlights. I have to agree with someone. It will be between Spain, Brasil or Italy. I strongly believe Brasil will when the who thing if they continue to play the level they are capable of.

Joga Bonito!
