As for the National Team I spoke with
Keith Tozer personally and he told me he will take any player that can play Futsal
better then the 12 he has. He did not say this, but I will bet that he does not
ask what Futsal League do they come from or are affiliated with! I am sure if 4
players came form the SFL and 4 from USFF and they were
Now that is how I see Futsal is in this
country! We have grown so quickly that we have 2 different National Associations,
how many does Soccer have,
Keep playing FUTSAL and let’s all
work on developing players that will only play FUTSAL , and Soccer will only be
played for “FUN” for our FUTSAL players, that’s the goal for
Futsal in the USA!
No one has to “qualify” to
play in either of the 2 Largest Futsal “National” Tournaments, sign
up early and pay the fees and you will be in a National Tournament, it is just
that easy!

Re: US Futsal
I see futsal in the hands of US Soccer as both a
blessing and a curse. The good part is that
they have the resources and the money to actually promote the game and take it
past the
grassroots level. The downside is that the national team will continue to be
made up of
mostly MISL players, probably none of whom play futsal outside of national team
preparation
(and don't think for a minute that the MISL will lift a finger to have a futsal
tourney or
anything to help get them ready). The only hope I see for a pro futsal league
in this country
would be to have Nike or somebody have some sort of pro tour (like the old
roller hockey
league that played at Disney), and pay ESPN or Versus to show it in between
"Extreme Butt
Scratching," and "World Series of Finding Pi" (hey, they show
the national spelling bee and
drum corps, so why not?).
