Alright, so you wanna know about this “Futsal 5”, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it’s like this… it’s kinda like that soccer the young’uns play, but not quite. See, they play it inside, on a hard floor, like where they play basketball. I seen it once when I went to town with my grandson.
It’s a fast game, real fast. These fellas, they run around like chickens with their heads cut off! There’s five of ‘em on each team, and they got this little ball, smaller than a regular soccer ball. They kick it around, tryin’ to get it in the other team’s net. Just like soccer, but, you know, faster and on a hard floor. And lemme tell ya, that floor ain’t soft like grass! I bet it hurts if you fall on that thing.
- Five players on each team.
- Played indoors on a hard court.
- Uses a smaller, heavier ball.
Now, they say it’s different from that other indoor soccer. I don’t know much about that, but they say this “Futsal 5” is its own thing. They got different rules or somethin’. And they got this one fella, they call him the “goleiro” I think. Sounds fancy, right? Well, he’s just the goalie, the one who tries to stop the ball from going in the net. He wears different clothes, so you can tell who he is.
And get this, them fellas, they can switch out players whenever they want! No limit! So, if one fella gets tired, he just runs off and another one runs on. Keeps the game movin’ fast, I tell ya. No time for loafin’ around in Futsal 5! You gotta be on your toes the whole time. My grandson, he tried to explain it all to me, but honestly, it’s a lot to take in for an old lady like me.
I heard tell there’s even a YouTube channel all about this Futsal 5. Can you believe it? People watchin’ this stuff on their little screens! My grandson, he’s always on that thing. Says they show the best parts of the games, the goals and all that. I guess some folks find it excitin’. Me? I’d rather watch the birds in the yard, but to each their own, I always say.
It’s a 5-on-5 game, that’s what they keep sayin’. Five against five. On a small court, like a basketball court, but not exactly the same size, I think it’s smaller. And that hard floor… I keep thinkin’ about that hard floor. Seems like it would be tough on the knees. These young fellas, they got energy to burn, though. They don’t seem to mind it none. They just run and kick and try to score.
So, that’s about all I know about this “Futsal 5”. It’s fast, it’s inside, it’s got five players on each team, and they can switch out whenever they want. And it’s got a funny name, that’s for sure. Sounds like somethin’ you’d catch if you didn’t wear your coat in the winter! And there’s a fella called a “goleiro” who tries to stop the ball. And it’s on YouTube, if you wanna watch it. But don’t ask me too many more questions, ’cause that’s all I got! It ain’t like watchin’ the chickens get fed, now that’s somethin’ I understand!
Anyways, if you wanna know more, go ask them young’uns. They know all about this fancy stuff. Me? I’ll stick to my garden and my chickens. That’s excitin’ enough for me.
