Well-produced
highlights video from the 2009 UEFA Futsal Championships in Russia. The
highlights – with a helpful emphasis on feet as players maneuver with the ball
– are interspersed with interviews and commentary, either in English or with
subtitles. Well done, UEFA!

| Falcao: Every which way but loose |
We’ve
clearly included these “top futsal goal” choices in a previous newsletter. Why
post them again now? In light of Falcao’s very viral free kick goal in a recent
exhibition, we feel obliged to repeat ourselves but include a question. How
does the spinning free kick Golaso compare, say, to the Falcao rainbow-header
goal here? Let us know which is your preference and why, and we’ll print your
comment. Email it to the editor at davidknopf48@gmail.com. Include
your name, city and anything else you’d like. FYI: Falcao’s goal is the fourth
in this video, but the others aren’t exactly cream cheese, either. Some of
these are so good they need to be viewed in slow motion to get the full effect
of the footwork.
And
for a point of reference, here’s Falcao’s well-executed training-ground goal
you’ve probably seen before … the goal’s so popular, there are probably a dozen
You Tube versions, one with 272,000 plays. That’s what we like to see … the
word “futsal” on all those computer monitors. The only thing we don’t like
about Falcao is that little squiggly-doober over the letter “A” in his name.
OK, Mr. Wiseguy, it’s Falcão.

| We "liked" futsal goalkeeping coach Andy Reading. Have you? |
Check

coach, is working on. If you think his series would be useful, search for “Andy
Reading” on Facebook and “like” his page and you’ll receive updates. Andy was
