Akritis_1944 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I played futsal at a relatively high level during my school days and after in tournaments and I took a keen interest in Greece's futsal team. Basically, it would not be unkind to say that we SUCK! The positive news is that we are improving, but we can be compared to Azerbaijan in (proper) football. Many of Europes nations show little interest in Futsal. Spain I believe are very good (even for world standards), as are Russia, Ukraine and Italy I think. England is rubbish like us. :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
