Futsal Grand Prix Russia Is Aiming for gold.

Without Spain in the  Brazil's  hosted  futsal competition ,Russia is the team to beat.

But my bet in that Russia will take the lil grand prix prize , in the event of futsal 

that is growing in popularity.

Russia beat Zambia by 13 to 1 in their opening game in Manaus city -capital of Amazon State in the North of Brazil 

Inpired by the Russia beating Brazil in the FIFA's Beach Soccer World Cup, Brazilians born players - Pula ( 7) and Cirilo  (c) are back in Brazil,  and they want to take  the Futsal  title to Russia as well.

There are 16 nations competing, unfortunately there is not  the world second best team Spain - the last year Grand Prix prize winner.


Angola scored their first ever goal against Brazil in the 10 to 1 loss.
The Angola futsal team show the world that they here to learn the game and show some individual trickery with amazing dribbling skill on a tight space , surprising the Brazilian with their deadly footwork. But the Angola futsal team must learn to hold on  to the ball  possession  and tactical strategy discipline.


Brazil has a mixed team with veterans and newcomers
may face Russian in the final.
Well that is what I would like to watch on television ..
