Indoor Soccer is known as Futbol Rápido (Fast Soccer) in México. Why fast? The main reason is that the ball leaves the pitch less often, which means that the game is indeed a lot faster than regular soccer. Also, because of reduced dimensions, the ball and the players must move around more quickly in order to defeat the defence. The ball itself is not faster, but the gameplay is --Threner 07:04, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- So what you are saying is that there are less breaks that in regular football? And that players have to run faster? This should be reflected in the article in such a manner, as simple claims that it is "faster" are non-specific and hard to justify as being NPOV. Cheers, --Daveb 12:28, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

- Actually, players do generally run faster in indoor soccer. I know that our team subs every 3 minutes, so while we're out there we're sprinting pretty much the entire time. Of course, I agree with you that "faster" is ambiguous; perhaps calling the pace of the game itself (rather than the individual players) would be more clear (as mentioned by Threner). A smaller pitch means you're forced to make quicker decisions (thus accelerating gameplay) and invariably results in more goals. Either way, it's a damn fun game. :) --Tristam 01:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Am I the only one who finds it amusing that the photograph illustrating the article indoor soccer is outdoors? I know it's basically an indoor soccer arena without the roof over it (same dimensions/rules/etc.), but it's still somehow amusing. --Delirium 03:08, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I posted the photo, and actually it cracks me up also. Indoor soccer was created as a response to winter in northern countries. However, it came up as a very fun to play sport. In sourthern countries, it makes no sense to go through the additional expense of building a roof (albeit going for the ball after someone kicked it really hard is a pain). Also, it is easy to get together 5 friends for a friendly or a tournament than getting 15 for a soccer game :D --Threner 18:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League
I once again removed the CMISL from the proposed leagues section. I can find no evidence of such an organiztion. If such evidence exists, please place it on this page before adding the CMISL back. KitHutch 13:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
