I want to ask usually the shoes we buy from local shops(bata , slippers in size 8,9,10) are they in us or uk ?

Example my school shoes from BATA is size 9. Is it US size?

Bata shoes are in UK size...

and when u get nike shoes...all in usa also i think

They will write... if the measurements are UK or US... u just need to flip and see inside... if there's no indication... simple... just ask the shop sales person to get the feet measurement equipment and measure ur feet size... It's stated there the size in US and also in UK

guys know any place that i can buy long sleeve sport shirts? Those body fit ones. I went to those retail sport shops like nike and adidas and none of them seem to have it. Im in need of a long sleeve jersey ! btw i play futsal for RM30perhour =D

Guys can share some lights on how to defend a good dribbler? Should I just rush in and pressure or keep following him and close down the gap for shooting?

U can follow him and close down the gap. put some effort in that so he'll have hard time to dribble/pass. well, sometimes u can just commit a tackle or what i call 'paruk'. these kind of players know that there's price to pay with their fancy skills. give em some rough treatment.

You can follow him and close the gap but make sure there is someone to cover from behind.

Urmmm... keep your eyes on the ball and not on the strikers' body and legs?

Dont ever rush against a good dribbler, he will easily get past you coz..er..he`s good..

Just follow him and try to close any gap for him to shoot/pass. It might not be a good sight...but its better then getting beaten and eventually letting him score a goal..

and yeah as Sir miketee say dont ever look at opponent body coz thats the main part used to fool defenders...

No futsal tonite Damn la those lazy human being..

i'm a defender as well. defending needs experience. a good dribbler will always try to confuse you but i also try to confuse him. sometimes it's good to just to "follow" him and closing the gap because what EyraYus said is true, "he will easily get past you". if you have much experience, you know when to fake a defending move towards the striker and push back to counter react his movement. but of course one needs high agility for this case.

i play a defensive game as well. sort of anchorman in my team. for me, the right thing to do, is to force him wide if the dribler coming from the centre field. force him wide, close the gap a lil bit, but never put a challenge, he'll easily pass u coz he has the speed an advantage to do so where he can change direction quite easily with the pace and ball. force him to go wide, and make sure ur team mates run back to defend. if not, it will be easily 2/3 attacker on 1 defender situation. if u know which side is his weaker side, force him to go to the side where he has no advantage on using his good feet to shoot.

if u wanna challenge for the ball, try tricking him like making a move like u want to get the ball, but then stop and see his reaction to it, do it twice than try to get the ball, as he moves closer, he'll be distracted by ur gesture. susah nak explain la yang ni... demo senang la... if wanna cheat and rough treatment easy, run towards the dribler, and then stand your ground. or use the dreaded back foot swipe. hahhahah....

for me, futsal doesnt need to be played with neat tricks all the time. showboating just cool if u r leading like 5-0. simple direct play is what good team are based on.

Near my house, the community centre has a futsal court (turf type). RM40 per hour oni. But only one court, so kena booking awal

A very good thread. Found it last nite and took my time to read through the posts and watched the videos till now. lol. Now I can probably try a formation or two with my friends when we're playing =)

greetings ppl!

most of you here are based in kl right?

are da courts there mostly hard surface? like those basketball/badminton courts.

cuz here in penang it's all astro turf, and most ppl here play wit..well, firm ground football boots.. will flat sole or turf ones give better effect as to grip on da surface as well as da ball?

actually, astro turf pun tak boleh pakai normal football boots. its against the policy of the football court. but the customer never follow rules so they wear football boots. but u already know there's football shoes made to cater the astro turf...

i play at mak mandin, and wear flat sole futsal shoes. the grip ok la. different a lot la if wearing blades or 6 studs. but thats a no-no for me...

hot strategy tip here for u guys! fresh off the pan : when u play futsal and bring your equipment bag in with you into the court, place it on top of the crossbar. so you won't end up with cracked handphone screens courtesy of ali/ah seng/raju's wicked piledriver that missed the goal by a mile but was on target for your bag.
