Incredible World of Futsal

Amazing football trickery!

	What makes it so entertaining is its emphasis on extreme trickery

'Futsal' is a very watchable sport. It's basically five-a-side indoor football shorn of 'bounce-back' walls and played across a hard court surface. Its ball is also slightly smaller than the one you lamp around Sunday League pitches, and for an apparent 'scientific' reason, carries less bounce.

But what makes it so entertaining is its emphasis on extreme trickery. This isn't all about goals, it's about dislocating your opponent's leg-bones through the medium of skill. Brazil are marvellous at it (they currently sit ahead of Spain and Italy in the world rankings), with Falcao widely recognised as the best player in the sport.

Overhead flicks, pull-backs, flick-ups, step-over combos and scissor-spins spill out in abundance as these fleet-footed illusionists execute tricks more suited to a Vegas magic show. Check out the videos below for some of the greatest football - or 'Futsal' - moments ever caught on camera. You'll see what we mean!
