I must agree with Helarxe, i like to watch football on TV of course but when it comes down too playing ide much prefer a 5-a-side game, very attacking flowing football and its 20mins a half to who ever asked before. and each team is allowed 1 time out in each half, with unlimited subs used, but a maximum of 7 players on bench. Bit like masters

Correct, it's an inferior version of football with some of the best and more challenging bits taken out. </BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm guessing your just some block who stays in defence and can't do anything but hoof the ball?

If you ever watched futsal you would probably realise the technical abilty on display is alot higher than that of a normal football match. It has to be due to the lack of space and time the player on the ball has.

Saw some clips of Falcão on a tv show a few weeks ago, some of the skills he'd done were pretty ridiculous.

Keep guessing. Columbo you ain't. I've watched and played futsal, it's alright but it's nowhere near as technical or tactical as an 11-a-side game. I've played in futsal games where the ball just constantly whizzes from end-to-end bypassing any midfield players completely, purely because the smaller field and compressed play makes this far easier to do.

It's good practise for controlling the ball in a small space under pressure but that's all I found good about it. It's a practise drill. It's just not as fun to play or as engaging as 11-a-side.

I wouldn't disagree with it being far less tactical but I can't see how you think 11 a side is more tecnical.

Maybe at a very poor standard of futsal the technical abilty wouldn't be great but that would be the exact same as football.

There is also plenty of top division football teams out there who completely bypass the midfield alot and play a "long ball" style. I don't really see how you can say this about futsal as you're only making it harder for yourself by putting the ball in the air.
