ive been waiting for the past 3 days for someone to make a thread on this and i havent seen one so im making it


falcao, the futsal world player of the year, has now chosen to play football

he didnt want to sign a new contract oin a futsal team and now has decided to play football on a pitch

sao paulo, one of brazils best clubs has signed falcao for the next season

i dont know......

i dont think so

we will have to wait and see how he does

 

[gagiz]

Does anyone have videos of him playing futsal? I wanna see how good he really is

 

[Virgo]

how old is the guy anyway

we had a similar case in Portugal with a beach soccer star. Madjer, that was a total failure in the field football. But beach soccer is even more different of the common football than the futsal.

OMG he is sooo freaking gooooood

he does moves on guys and when u see ihm doing the moves it looks like the guys are little kids thats how easy it looks when he does it

He is real good!

I admire any player who when you watch him, it is like the ball is glued to his shoes or that it sticks to his feed and he is catching it with one foot and just having fun.

Very nice player

He Murdered everyone when he played against Australia in that Futsal World Cup, some of his moves are amazing, I hope he will be successful even the next Felipe ?

Seen him play futsal in person before, he's fantastic.

 

[Filipower]

the man is a genius....g-e-n-i-u-s ...but i dunno how he'll do on real football....let's see

 

[Funky--K]

mmm... bad choice in my opinion

why?

he'll leave the Best Futsal Player In The World status to become a mediocre player in the brazilian league...

 

[WilliamFAlmeida]

yea wierd....
but you have to go new directions right? I hope he does well...
and I hope you guys see his compilations....

if anything you can watch his best on the FIFA 2004 world player gala. They show like a 20 second video and its the best Ive seen of him. He fricken RULES!He rainbowed a keeper in a game once....sheeesh

Considering the level of 60% of the players that are here in Brazil, if he adapts well, he'll be a badass here. He's as skilled as Ronaldinho Gaúcho.

 

[WilliamFAlmeida]

true, most Brazilians start out in futsal anyway....

Futsal to Football is what the And 1 guys are to NBA basketball. Its a different game, and im sure if he was good enough to be playing football, hed be doing that instead of futsal.

The link doesnt work for me

Probably won't work for Falcão. Futsal and Football are 2 different games altogether, especially on the tactical side. Critical stuff like positioning on the field, defending and attacking schemes are so different that you can't even compare players.

I've played both a lot and had totally different roles on each of them.
