Why isn't Futsal more popular?We are living through the Americanization of Football, but Futsal already exists (shorter time, more goals, smaller court, time stops when ball is out, etc)
>>154371797it's too close to football, it will always be seem as a meme version of it
It's boring to watch on the high level
>>154371797Same problem as handball, the whole game can be summarized by passing sideways until someone scores
>>154371958to not be completely cynical with this post, i think futsal can still be good if the rules are revamped in favor of attacking play, current rules are killed the dynamic and atractiveness of the game. it would still never have mass appeal of football but it can be a cool sport.
>>154372327Female futsal is better than female football
>>154371797American indoor soccer is better anyway
It's fun to play but not as fun to watch
>>154371797It sucks, lacks the sport part of sports and you just posted 0.5% of the game
futsal is always presented like this joga bonito fifa street thing and they you watch a whole match and you realize it sucks ass
>>154372540>indoor american soccerHuh? Whats that?
>>154371797Futsal is fun if you watch your local village team play the neighbouring village team and you get drunk and the teams end up fighting . It all usually ends up in a big party where everyone is friends again.
>>154373958Soul.
It's too individualistic.Football is so wildly popular because people love the clubs, either because its their local team or they're a plastic, they love the clubs either way. Who fucking cares if Gabriel Jogabonitiho can do the two-step sopa macaco on a fucking basketball court.
>>154372540Meh. It's over-run with spics these days
For me, it's indoor soccer
>>154374264Wow, that turned out very personal in the second half of your post
>>154375050
>>154374685I assume it's a clusterfuck up against the boards even worse than hockey
>>154371797ball too small
futsal SUCKS
>>154375132I just noticed the lines. I wonder if football with a wall you're allowed to use will ever work. No ball ever out of play
>>154375086I'm shocked
>>154375164:^)
>>154373246>Huh? Whats that?Unironically one of the most SOVL things to come out of the United States of Israel>futsal + walls BUT round + hockey offsideIt's like street footie with walls without the corner meme meta that destroyed every friendship
>>154374385>Vira lataWhat? How? lol
>>154374685>>154375870seems like a cool sporthowever I absolutely hate artificial turf, the "grains" are actual fucking poison and only god knows how much microplastics you get from those places
>>154371891TSMTIt's why we will never care about rugby or cricket, and why the UK will never care about gridiron football or baseball.
>>154371797ball goes out 25 times per minute
>>154375943You're right, not a fan of the fake grass either. Maybe it should be wooden panels like NBA? idk what futsal uses.
Played a fair amount of futsal and indoor, as well as plenty of regular football and AFL. There are so many more fights in futsal and indoor that it's not funny. Many of the semi-pro players in my city end up with bans or very long suspensions
>>154376342>That Sucks Me Toowat
sports are better when they're played on grass. there's something about grass that is alluring. think of all of the most successful sports... all involve grass sar.
