Futsal is not soccer

These days I attended futsal matches and I realized that it is an evolution of the traditional football from which it differs very significantly. Of course it is played with a ball, there is a goalkeeper and win the team that makes more goals but in other respects is another sport. Here in what in my opinion is different:

  1. during a time players can alternate every 3/4 minutes
  2. in the last two minutes the team can make more goals and overturn the result
  3. the error of a player can be fatal and determine one goal
  4. it is a game of high intensity, with continuous shots that reduce mental and physical energies of the players
  5. reaction times and decision must be very fast
  6. each player must always be ready to defend and attack
  7. the expulsion of a player determines a significant advantage to the opposing team
  8. it is required a constant and high level of coordination and cooperation
  9. the team have to play with high-intensity until the last second
  10. it requires a continuous emotional control over the harmful moods
