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!

Futsal is FIFA's official indoor soccer game which is, essentially, a scaled down version of outdoor soccer played indoors. It is a small sided game (5v5) played on a smaller field (roughly basketball court sized) with a smaller (size 3-4) ball. Futsal is played with touchline boundaries. There are no walls in play.

Futsal World Cup is on
The 2008 Futsal World Cup has kicked off. It was a blow out day.
- USA is tought the game of Futsal by Paraguay.
- Brazil gave a hard lesson to Japan.
- Cuba. Wow, really poored it on againts Solomon Islands.
- Italy squeeked by Thailand.
It will be a tough task for USA. Some nations have professional Futsal Teams. USA does not. USA has played around 10 games the past month. Nations with Professional Futsal Teams plays around 120 a year. USA needs Futsal in High School, College and Pro League. Winter would be a nice team in my opinion.
Looking forward to my Futsal World Cup. Let the Futsal Games Begin.
I can't wait until our Albuquerque Super F League begins. Registration is open and you can register on line at http://albuquerque.superfleague.com/.
