Dandy, my instructor is from Brazil.
The first thing he said in class today: "You thought you were signing up for indoor soccer. I lied. We are playing futsal this semester."
Then he proceeded to explain the rules differences, origin of the game, etc.
"I don't like what Americans call indoor soccer. It's like hockey with your feet...walls and such. We are playing a more beautiful game...we are playing futsal."

Spain and Brasil are powers in futsal.
Spain was world champion many times before the real football side got theirs.
The now defunct Futsal brand in Madrid was a client of mine back in the 90'´s. I also worked with them trying to OEM a Spanish Copa Mundial, Beckenbauer, etc., for another football brand.
Kelme futsal shoes are great, as are Munich.

LSU's rec had a futsal league a couple of years back. It wasn't very fun but I contribute that mainly to how small the courts were (we just played on their basketball courts). I'm sure it's much more fun on a regulation size court.
With that being said, I like indoor better. Ball is out of play less and you can do things like playing passes off the wall to yourself. It is a pretty American sport so it doesn't surprise me that a Brazilian wouldn't like it as futsal exemplifies joga bonito more.
