The AMF Futsal World Cup is underway in Baja California, México.

[NaBUru38 205]

Now Portugal, wow!

[NaBUru38 205]

The Teros were amazing in the first half against Italy. In the second half the team just collapsed.

 

Even if they lost two matches so far, they showed the world that they deserve to play tier 1 teams regularly.

The Manx TT was held last weekend.

 

[NaBUru38 205]

With no United States or Canada, I wouldn't be surprised if they expend it to 24 teams for 2027.

[NaBUru38 205]

I think that the T20 format is still not easy enough to understand.

 

Here's my T4x4 proposal:

 

• Each team bowls 4 sets of 4 overs each.
• After a team bowls a set, they change roles (like in baseball).
• A set ends prematurely if the bowling team has two outs.

Los Teros lost to Romania 30-22, despite our rivals getting an early red card. I couldn't attend the match.
