Small piece of the pie? Maybe for the moment. My 9 year old son plays both outdoor and Futsal. If he had to choose between the two he is Futsal 100%. Why?
More touches & afterall, that’s what it is all about. Who wants to stand around watching with hands on hips. I expect that by the next generation, this attitude will be the norm.

For the record, he is a Vikings participant and here are 3 reasons why..

1) By far superior coaching here in Vic
2) FFV can’t even get a Super League up and running
3) FFV CEO Matt Rendell was recently quoted in Goal Weekly (check it out on the web for yourselves) as saying that the FFV must use Futsal better as a tool for revenue raising (the only time in the whole article he ever even mentioned Futsal).

At least Mr. Rendell is honest with his Futsal intentions I guess – or lack thereof. I suspect the loser Henk referred to might actually be anyone who supports an organisation (like FFV) who admit that Futsal is nothing more than a vehicle to increase its bottom line with.

what a load of shit that is on this thread!!
Maybe that Rossi bloke should get out there and do more for the sport instead of just writing rubbish on here!!

Also Paul,

I have played Football since I was 6 yrs old and played at every FFA Nationals as captain of my state side and I have also played Futsal for my state side for 3 years now at senior level.

I would play Futsal (high level)over any form of Football any day!!! In saying that obviously if your talking about professional Football it is different but how many Australian’s make it in the big time??

Paul I totally agree, too much negativity, too much bitching.

“Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.” (Henk)

What an absolutely appalling attitude! Sure you must play to win, but also you play to develop, to improve, to keep fit, to have fun, for the rush of adrenaline for all sorts of reasons.

So sometimes you lose, so what, it’s no biggie; pick yourself up, learn something and have another go!

Thank heavens for good losers. Have you not noticed that bad losers are usually bad winners too?

Sorry if this is a bit off target for this thread, but there is such bad attitude displayed here that it’s no wonder the sport is tied in knots.

Yes Paul, a tiny, tiny piece of the pie. 8 persons attending the meeting called by Vikings. I wonder if FSala can spin that into 80, 800, 8,000. Go for it. Tell everyone that at least Vikings are trying. Show me a good loser and I’ll show you a loser.

There are more than 10 football players to every 1 futsal player. Futsal will never be treated as a serious sport with the bitching going on now for a very small piece of the pie.
