Well, they won 29:2 against Guatemala in 2000 (when the tournament was in Guatemala on top of that)
And they have a 76:0 win against East Timor a few years ago....
If everything is normal. Brazil should trash everybody and win it, but the same was expected in 2000 and 2004 and they got edged out by Spain's defense

I absolutely agree with your point about the walls. I have played indoor soccer (and not futsal) here and people are just kicking the ball into the wall and passing me by, and I am like "WTF!!!???, play like a man and try to do some move!", it's very frustrating for the other players, and of course, in the end, when you got to the real field, there is no wall to play with, and if you're pushed to the line, futsal skills like this at 4:10:
are very very useful
For those who have them, of course
Anyway, the thing I don't understand is why a game that has the same flair as streetball, is not popular here.
After all, that's a game where you can do things like this:

Well, #10 is the epitome of talent and skills. That's the Pele-Maradona-Zidane-Ronaldinho type of player
If your # 10s are physical players, then your soccer program is in deep trouble
P.S. I think I have said this before many times - the reason for USA players being what they are is that for some reason the american football mentality (you have to outrun and outmuscle your opponents in order to win) gets translated into real football.
P.S.S. Back on topic
Semifinals:
53 16/10 10:30 Rio De Janeiro Russia - Brazil
54 16/10 12:30 Rio De Janeiro Spain - Italy
My prediction (not a hard one to do) is a Spain - Brazil final and this time Brazil wins it

If you keep that attitude for some more time, you will soon have nothing to back it up.
I don't like rugby because it's a very rough sport, but those people are real men and it's ridiculous to compare them to NFL, they take even more physical contact than NFL players, and they wear absolutely no protection. I've seen interviews with retired rugby players where they listed their injuries and it was a laundry list of broken arms, legs, ribs, torn ligaments, muscles, everything you can think of. Yes, they're not all steroid-pumped 300-pound gorillas, here you're right, but I would like to see those 300-pound gorillas survive in a rugby game
