Brazil beat long time rivals Spain on penalties after a 2 – 2 tie. Spain took the title on the past 2 World Cups so it was about time Brazil stepped up to bring the title back to it’s hood! Not only that but La Furia was a rock in Brazil’s shoes since they were the ones who eliminated Seleção as well in the past 8 years. Here are the goals.

Us, Brazilians, grow up playing it and trying to decide whether we want to play football or futsal professionally (even though in reality we will never be professionals!). But the dilemma is there, in any case. And if you think about it, futsal is indeed so much fun. If you have been watching the Futsal World Cup in Brazil you would agree with me. So here are some reasons why futsal is so cool (fyi – these all apply to the Brazilian futsal team).

1. You get to see 4 incredibly skilled players on the court.

2. A few hat-tricks are super normal.

3. It is fast and dynamic and requires players to have 10x more skill then regular football to find space  to hit the ball.

4. There are no positions (except for goalie). Players rotate the entire match.

5. You get to see Falcão play.
