Today’s Video: Brazil’s fantastic futsal footwork

Note: We’ll be posting on Saturday and Sunday in order to make up for the lack of entries this week.

The FIFA Futsal World Cup is currently taking place in Brazil and the host team has been merciless in outscoring the competition. As The Offside blog noted:

Futsal is typically, compared to it’s grass-based counterpart, high scoring, but the samba boys are currently out hitting opponents 49-1. Forty-nine in four games is quite a bit. And as far as pure scoring goes, Russia, in the same group, has done one better, scoring 50 in 3, even after being shutout 7-0 by Brazil. (Group A being very fortunate to draw the Solomon Islands; SI having conceded 69 in 4 and probably due for a bit of post-traumatic stress syndrome when they return home.)

Below are highlights from Brazil’s group match victory against the minnows from the Solomon Islands by a score of 21-0! To say that Brazil dominated the game would be understatement; Falcão was the leading goalscorer with six tallies as he and seven others found the back of the net.
