    In that case ussoccer should be working with government recreation departments to build outdoor futsal courts throughout the country, in population centers and otherwise.

    Why would they do that when there is almost no interest in futsal?

    I think the more important question is why do Argentines misspell "Falklands" as "Malvinas?"

    There is almost no interest in futsal as an end in itself, but there is plenty of interest in futsal as preparation for full soccer, particularly in the area of ball skills.

    Exactly!, you don't need a huge pitch to have a kick about, especially if you're not a kid anymore.

    This very clearly explains why Brazil, Argentina, & Chile cannot have athletes in Basketball, Hockey and Baseball: They're all too fat and out of shape! Of course they'll never do well in the olympics either, because of this, so the government should really build far less red clay soccer courts and instead focus on getting gym's built to help these people loss the fat! Before anyone gets in a "tizzy" they should know that it has more to do with culture that anything. It should be obvious that for the most part South Americans only play soccer, some play basketball too but then after that participation in other sports drops off incredibly fast. Its really not fair to hold that fact against them because their obesity issuel instead we should focus on the government's responsibility in the matter.

    Just from observing this thread, maybe Argentinians are too dense and stupid for intelligent discourse….

    I was out of town this weekend. I just saw this thread this morning. Needless to say, it has been locked, and all trolling comments have been infracted.

    This is not "World Rivalries." Also, there is a sticky at the top of this forum which makes that clear:
