Hard to disagree when it looked like there were more cameras than fans. All a bit sad and grim.

It's a 6-a-side indoor tournament, celeb managers (mostly YouTube people and a few ex footballers) 30min games with the last 3 mins of each half having some modifier rule in place like 3v3 or long range shots counting double..stuff like that. Teams are mostly made up of ex academy lads that didn't make the cut or unattached players.
They are trying to spin it that this new format gives a route back into the game for players, a way to showcase their talents. Not sure it's gonna work, totally different set of skills.
Sky but all over YouTube too

That looks and sounds awful, but indoor football can be genuinely exciting. Futsal's pretty popular in many parts of the world isn't it, I think. I remember the Soccer Six in the late 80s; that was fun (I was there when David Speedie played rush-back for us).

I've watched highlights of a fair few games and it's so stop start. Part of what makes small numbers games great for me is the pace and the relentless feel of it. Penalty corners and the Gamechanger sh*te kills that for me. Feels like football for people that don't really like and / or have never really played team sports.
