Hot Links ... Tasty Morsels off the Futsal Griddle

Danny Waltman … in the third and first person

Danny Waltman, U.S. National Futsal Team goalie, is featured by The News Tribune, a newspaper in his home state of Washington (see below). Waltman discusses the value of futsal in training youth players in this country and the disadvantage the U.S. faces internationally without a professional futsal league. Following the newspaper article, there’s a link to the forum his professional indoor team, the MISL Missouri Comets, provided for Waltman to talk about his futsal experience. It wasn’t long ago that advocates of indoor soccer wouldn’t talk about futsal and vice versa. Hopefully, with players like Danny Waltman that’s over.

 

Tim Sheldon tackles an oft-repeated misconception

Tim Sheldon, owner of the Web site www.futsalonline.com, has been around soccer and futsal long enough that he knows things don’t become true just because they’re repeated over and over. Take the weight of a futsal ball, for example, compared to an outdoor ball. Check Tim’s site for a steady diet of futsal news from around the planet.

What's missing in U.S. National Futsal team forumla? 

Tim Sheldon's take on what  the U.S. will need if it hopes to compete in CONCACAF and international futsal. The jist: "The U.S. may continue to bring very good players to the tournament, but if they don't play Futsal full-time they will continually be beaten by superior Futsal speed, precision, skill and tactics."
