FOLLOW US ON TWITTER ALL TOURNAMENT LONG FROM THAILAND @INSIDESOCCERMAG – Brazil beat Portugal by a 3-1 score in their final group stage match to go undefeated and win the group. Portugal were able to clinch second and automatic qualification to the knockout stage as Japan were not able to tally enough goals to overtake them, but still have a shot with 4 points.

The most wonderful time is here for futsal fans as the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup is underway in Thailand from Nov 1-18th. Futsal Canada is live on location and will bring you constant updates, photos and interviews with futsal’s elite.

Brazilian fans are ecstatic after scoring their final goal to win 3-1.


Rather silly: FIFA has told the CBFS to cover two stars that they earned from titles in the 80’s because those tournaments were under FIFUSA.

The defending tournament champions had a tough test against a resilient Portuguese side coached by Edmonton-born Jorge Braz and now face the 3rd palce finisher from either Group A, B, or F while Portugal face Paraguay in the 2nd round, a rematch of their 2008 FFWC encounter. Thailand will have to wait to see if they advance as one of the top four finishers in third place as Paraguay nudged through to the next stage with a 3-2 victory. Costa Rica were eliminated after losing 6-1 to Ukraine who clinched first place in Group A.
