Post your football/futsal exploits

My uber-amateur futsal team had a rare dominant win tonight, 10-4. I've not been playing with the round ball long; scored my first non-tap-in goal tonight so was pretty happy.

Who else here plays indoor or outdoor?

I played like 10 years or so outdoor soccer with occasional 5 on 5 indoor games.

Still play every Sunday for 2 or 3 hours 5 vs 5 or 6 vs 6 (outdoor court, but as big as an indoor court with small goals) depending how many people come to play.

Futsal is not really popular in Germany but I would love to play it. Don't know where though.
I'm more like the indoor player anyway. Game is much faster, you need more technique, have the ball more often and more goals are scored.

I'm thinking about getting back on an outdoor team right now but it's fairly difficult for me.
I go to university and most of my courses are in the afternoon to evening. I rarely come home before 6 or 7 in the evening (sometimes even 9 o'clock) and when I come back home at 6 I usually work in a cinema from 7 to 0.

I have way too much free time in the morning but nearly none in the evening when teams practice. Sucks.

I would do anything to go back to playing soccer in high school. I would be playing soccer for some college if I wanted to put the time in, but chose not to. Now I play in an indoor league...6v6 once a week. I got a 5v5 futsal tournament coming up next Sunday, can't wait :)

Most of my time around the soccer field these days is dedicated to youth coaching

Played junior 11-a-side from the age of 10 until I was 17, when I had to stop playing because of chronic knee injuries. Started playing again about 5 years ago after 8 years away - definitely not the player I once was, but still enjoyed some 5-a-side during the winter, and then getting outdoors and playing on the big pitch in the summer while we lived in Canada.
