i believe most of you play both
and of course you have you preference

I play both. Of course, in futsal you need good understanding with your teammates as in this kind of pitch, short passes are the only way to play. You can play long balls too but it is quite hard.

Football, a lot of energy needed esp. for those who plays midfielders position. You need to run back and forth to attack and defend.

I prefer football more...i think that it is better than futsal

i get so much more tired playing futsal then football .....

I'M A RIGHT WINGER! futsal tarak RWM... lari everywhere... tired

Well, I definitely prefer football more, I think that you'll need to have a permanent team in futsal and in football you just blend in and play...
When playing futsal, you develope some kind of coherent with your mates which is very vital as the game moves so fast...

Don't ask why but I love football more...

football coz got more space for me to run @@

Kinda hard for me to pick between the two,so I voted both -.-

Generally speaking,I'm a person who runs.I'm not particularly good with close quarters control ala street soccer style.So that factor leans me towards football.

However,I have pathetic stamina (lol) and my shots aren't too powerful,which affects my football playing. Plus recently I've been playing futsal in an "official size" court (they claim it as such,it's big,no idea if it's as big as the official one) and we play 7 on 7. Quite some space for me to run,which is nice.

But at the end of the day,I just wanna kick.I'll play soccer anywhere.The field,a court,some empty pavement space,the corridors outside our class (srsly,we actually used bottlecaps/stones and what nots),wherever.

I just love the game

Same, easier to run without being marked down at once...but futsal fast paced, also nice XD

But for me , Football>futsal

Well for me football=futsal. Both have it's pros and cons

real rules is 5 on 5, u should have more space

Yea.We play 7 on 7 in that court coz our players complain it's too tiring to play 5 on 5 there.We've become real lazy bums since we moved on to college

i prefer playing futsal...haha...but love watching football....

when in college, me and my housemates formed such a strong futsal team.
some were quite skillful, some are not at all.
but we had team chemistry.
which made us pawn any1 else...
sadly it all ended after pre-U
i play futsal now wif uni but they f***ing stupid no ball sense

Used to play outdoor football, but damn hard to find 11-a-side! Then got injured (ACL - knee ligament damage) and was out of the game for about 2 years.

Did my rehab with futsal, and have been stuck with futsal ever since! normally play at CB but after the whistle blows, every man for himself!

Of course there will always be pros and cons of each, more of preference and the way you play I think. But the main plus point futsal has is that it quickens your reflex time, be it mentally or physically, whereas in football, you can take a break mentally and physically during some period of the game.

My 2 cents lah...but still enjoy watching football though!

i also same thing on my ligament la brother..damn
but i play football with that injury on,
and ter injure a few more times..
then i really let 6 months to rest.
now that injury still can reoccur, must careful on landing angle and such..
but futsal really less chance to injury, except drop and can cuts aND bruises

wah ligament damage jangan main2 dude, very very long-winding healing process one. One test to see if really2 ligament damage is try to stand on one foot on THAT foot. if feel like shaking2, or not stable, means susah kes already. don't exert it anymore, if not lagi teruk...

but futsal need to pay la...damn hate

Futsal of course. I don't have that much of stamina to run big field, man! Even in futsal, sometimes I don't run much.

I voted both.

I like futsal cause it's indoor and there's a better understanding between my team mates as I've been playing with my friends for a long time. On the other hand the football fields are crappy and usually the team just 'blends in'.

But you can never replace the pace of football. There are crosses, corners, free kicks. The beautiful game.
