Van der MoodHoover Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 A quite bizarre experience. Just watched Italy beat Mexico 8-1. Games are 3 periods long, 15 minutes per period. Italy have won their group scoring 26 goals in 3 games. Live on Eurosport 2. The channel for sad men. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Tonight it's (I think) the round of 16 or maybe the quarter final. Anyway, tahiti are 1 up against Paraguay. The other evening it finished tahiti 8 Poland 4. I've seen a red card as well. Which was a 2 minute sin bin, which finished early if the short-handed team concedes. Now 2-0 tahiti who are a real force in this sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Finished 6-4 to tahiti with 3 goals in the last 14 seconds. Great fun. Portugal v Brazil next which is being billed as the final come early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicME85 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Remember watching some beach football years ago and then I noticed Eric Cantona was playing Quote Shortly after his departure from Manchester United, Cantona became captain of the French national beach football team. Cantona has continued his interest in beach football games in southern Asia and at the Inaugural Kronenbourg Beach Soccer in 2002, in the city of Brighton. He managed the French team which won the inaugural FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in 2005 in Rio de Janeiro. He also coached the 2006 FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup French national team, which finished in third place. In the 2007 World Cup Cantona was again successful, taking France to fourth place. The Cup was held in France for the first time in the 2008 World Cup; however, Cantona was unable to make the top four after losing to Italy in the quarter finals.

TroyDyer Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Played for England for 5 years and was fortunate enough to play against Cantona as a player, and as the French manager. Nice bloke. Is an awesome sport. So much fun to play, as the game never stops. No playing for a draw or holding out for a 1-0. It simply isn't possible, as there is on average a shot on goal every 30 seconds for the 36 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, Brazil overwhelmed the gallant tahiti to win the final 6-0. There was even a header from a corner and just to contradict myself, no goals from overhead kicks.....

I felt **** until I realised Brazil hadn't lost a Beach Soccer match for 11 years at that point. They are a different league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taller, fitter, faster than anyone else - the only team that could actually dribble at speed over the sand. They're apparently coming back after a few indifferent years. fair play to you for playing the sport - looks bloomin gruelling trying to run through that soft sand - imagine it would be a slightly different game down on Bournemouth beach at low tide in November when the sand is rock hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken toes and metatarsals are common place. As much as they try and clear all the stones, they never get them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
