It's not surprising people tend to care about sport their country is succesfull at

 

Anyway, the sport is slowy dying  Except for Portugal and Catalonia (and maybe San Juan), it's barely sruviving everywhere else and it's getting eatten by the poor man's ice hockey version - aka roller inline hockey.

 

That's my opinion as well  

 

Though I think the sport will probably allways survive here, as it takes a big part on the several sport's rivalries between the three big football teams fans (some people really take those rivalries too much serious.... and they end up ruining the sports with their agressive behaviour ), probably one of the most important for fans after football itsell and Futsal.

Would you say that Futsal is a more popular sport than 'Hoquei' nowadays ?

I would say is very tight: hockey has the advantage of having the three big football teams playing on our national hockey league (futsal only has Sporting and Benfica), but due to the increased rivalry between Sporting and Benfica on this past years, Futsal has gained a lot of tv ratings ( http://desporto.sapo.pt/futsal/artigo/2015/06/15/futsal-sporting-benfica-em-futsal-com-audiencias-recorde  sorry they don't have english version ).

 

So my opinion is that Futsal is more popular during national leagues (specially the final phase), but hockey is still more popular on Euro/Worlds (because the only team sport we can actually win something )

Not anymore ...

 

Anyway, that seems tight indeed.

Yes, you're right, I almost forgot!  (fun thing to be a French remembering me of such fact )

Anyway, good luck for the Under-19 Euro's semi-final on football
