Iran ties Brazil 2-2

Futsal friendly

PRESS TV -- World Cup futsal champion Brazil has been held to a 2-2 draw in its second friendly match against the Iranian national futsal team. The game was held in Sao Croso, Brazil on Tuesday. Majid Tikdarinejad and Mohamad Taheri scored for the Asian futsal champion which lost its first friendly against the host 4-2 on Sunday. The Iranian outfit, coached by Hossein Shams, will attend the Grand Prix de Futsal Tournament in Brazil where the top 16 teams of the world will be competing in June 2009. Iran reached the 2008 Futsal World Cup quarterfinals last October after displaying a brilliant performance that resulted in Iran being voted as the most impressive team in the tournament. Iran's national futsal team has been ranked fourth by FIFA in 2008 -- after Brazil, Spain and Italy.

Futsal was created here in Brazil and, as the word "soccer" in portuguese is "FUTebol" (yes, with "U". The word "Football" for us reffers to the American version - the Gridiron football, with the yard lines), we named the new version of soccer as "soccer in the saloon" ("FUTebol de SALão", in portuguese), reffering "saloon" as being something that happens "indoor".  

Best!!!!

It is a footbaal game that's played in a "Salon", covered arena, with less players than actual open air football, the field is smaller, goals are smaller and so are the number of players, it's the same as "goal koochik" that we were playing in Iran

FOOTball+SALon = footsal or futsal

This was my first time watching professional futsal (I've watched lots on the streets or parks of Iran or Italy but not on screen). Man they were GOOD and it is so fun to watch!

 "Hey, what da hell a Brazilian does here??" =P 

I saw this fantastic futsal match on TV, on live. I didn't know for who I should cheer for, I swear!! I know it sounds crazy, specially when coming from a fanatic Brazilian soccer fan like me, but from the bottom of my heart I swear I've been half Iranian during that match. I was so enchantted by seeing my both nations playing together!!! Hope to see soon new matchs also in other modalities!

Sports are fantastically magic!!!

Best!

Good Thing!

Good thing the Iranian futsal is not afflicted by politics like soccer. Maybe because it doesn't bring crowds onto the street!

Whatever you do please don't "Tahmil" Ali Daei as coach! 

I bet you anything if wagering (sharti, tighi) was an option Brazil had no chance....LOL

(That's how we were playing Goal koochik....tighi) 

Joking aside, maybe that's what we need to focus on along with wrestling and weight lifting.

Futsal is what Iranian know better!

I have been to Brazil (mainly Rio) few times. As a fanatic soccer player and fan, I played against locals and teams in two tournaments in Rio de Janeiro and let me tell you, Brazilians are out of this world.......... So the fact that we tied them 2-2 in Brazil is a fantastic news for Iran and Iranians. (Dameshoon garm)

For many years the great success of the Iranian futsal team has been overshadowed by Team Melli. They are among the best of the best in the world and deserve respect and appreciation. Dameshoon joosh!
