    I pulled out my 200 page list of things I care about. Took me awhile to search through it, but nope, soccer is still not there.

    No. Indoor soccer is played on astroturf with a regular sized ball, futsal is played on a surface more similar to a basketball court or team handball court, with a smaller ball and smaller net than indoor soccer. Futsal can be played outdoors, and are common in soccer countries. There is even at least one in Portland that I know of.

    I get we are decades behind some countries, but it's embarrassing that a country with our resources fails to make the world cup.

    It's right below the Rock Paper Scissors world championship on my list.

    Ok, not right below....way below.

    But that isn't nice of me to share.

    No, seeing how corrupt the world cup is, it's embarrassing if we were to take part in it.
