Brazil is showing the world who is the king of Futsal. They blanked Italy today. Falcao and the crew showing their stuff. Now they face Ukraine which will not be easy but I will pick Brazil to win.
Iran vs. Italy: Iran is better than I thought. Italy is good but they do not move the ball around as quickly as years past. I think Italy will squeak this one out.
Argentina vs. Russia; Argentina will win this one.
Paraguay vs. Spain: Spain the defending champs will win this match. Paraguay has not looked that great but qualified for the second round. Paraguay will fight hard.
Futsal depends on how you move the ball, pass, attack and of course score goals. Plus how well you defend.
Brazil and Spain so far have qualified to the final four which is no surprise to me. The other two teams will be determined on October 14. The semi finals are October 16.
Third place is on October 18 and the Championship is on October 19 in Rio de Jarneiro.
I love Futsal!!!
A Big Soccer fan who is involved with United States Youth Futsal and United States Adult Futsal. I produce Futsal Video's and I am in charge of their social media. 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 Update
Well, now the 2008 Futsal World Cup is in the 2nd Round.
It's down to Brasil, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Ukraine, Iran, Russia and Paraguay.
Brasil had a close one with Iran but I still feel they will win it all.
Italy and Spain will be tough as well. Italy does not move the ball around as quickly as they use to but they are still good. I think Iran is better than I originally thought.
I wish I get Galavision or any channels that cover Futsal World Cup. I would love to watch this very exciting tournament even though the quality of teams is down this time around. I don't care, I would just love to see Futsal.
I am praying some day Futsal is a major sport here in the US.
I would love to see Futsal in all levels not only in the US but world. The world is far ahead of us.
US played poorly in this World Cup. Many teams have league's which they play 100-120 games a year but US only plays 10 or so matches. US is going to fall behind if they do not push for more Futsal in the US. From the Youth League's, High School, Yes even college and develop a Pro Futsal League. That would be so awsome. The level of Futsal and Soccer will really rise. I think Futsal can really make some noise in the US. It will not be to the level of NBA, NFL and so on but I think if we had a Pro Futsal League here, it would work. Maybe the winter months would be the best. Futsal can really develop a Soccer players game. Imrove passing, create nice touches and more.

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!

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/.

Wow! Our Video Shown on Gol TV's Soccer Cam
Thursday Night, one of my YouTube Video's that I had submitted was played towards the end of a new Show called Soccer Cam. It's on Gol TV every Thursday Night at 8PM Eastern Time. It plays again at Midnight Eastern Time as well. Soccer Cam is a weekly show where anyone can submit their home Soccer, Futsal or Freestyle Soccer Video's. Go to http://goltv.tv for more details. They played our Preseason Futsal Practices that took place last April. You may question the first goal. The long goal. What you do not see is the goalie side kick the ball to one of the players. The player trapped the ball, rolled up his leg to his chest. The ball dropped, he kicked the ball from one end of the court and it went in. I mistakenly cut the pass from the goalie to the player due to the camera jiggling. I almost lost control of the camera. Good thing, I regained control, it was a awesome goal. Also the ref and some other individuals stated, the ball never touched his hands. Where I was, I thought it did but I was incorrect. At least I got the goal from one end to the other on tape which you will see.
Anyway, see the clip submitted below. Gol TV re-edited the video for their program which they did a great job. Thank you Gol TV for showing our video. I will submit more very soon.
