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.

Along with getting pieces of rubber in my shoes, this was my least favorite part of indoor:

Of course, it had a lot to do with other people being able to do the same

We're playing on Beard-Eaves's (Auburn's old basketball arena) court. He said real futsal courts are larger, but we don't have a free court that size on campus.
