Hi, gostaria de saber como posso responder as perguntas a seguir...
Ja sei que pra perguntar pra que time alguém torce pode se usar "What team do you support?" (British English)
e "What team do you cheer for?" or "What team do you root for?" (American English)
Bem, como posso responder a cada uma delas de uma forma correta????????
Outra dúvida que tenho é de como posso dizer "falta" no futebol,por exemplo: "É falta para o Inter" "O jogador do Gremio cometeu uma falta"... Procurei em outros posts e achei a palavra "Foul" mas gostaria de saber como usá-la nas sentenças acima.
Minha última dúvida é a respeito de Futsal. Como poderia dizer Futsal? Seria "Five-a-side soccer?" E como diria a quadra de Futsal? Court?
Thanks a lot you all and sorry for the long topic

Futsal is a variant of association football that is mainly played indoors. Its name is derived from the Portuguese futebol de salão and the Spanish fútbol de salón (and coloquially fútbol sala), which can be translated as "hall football." During Madrid 1985, the name fútbol de salón was used, but since then, all other names have been officially and internationally changed to futsal.

Futsal is played between two teams of five players, one of whom is the goalkeeper, and up to seven substitutes per team. Unlike some other forms of indoor football, the game is played on a hard court surface delimited by lines; walls or boards are not used. Futsal is also played with a smaller ball with less bounce than a regulation football.[1] The rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.[2]

well, futsal is futsal
For "falta" I think you can use "foul", "misconduct" or "fault"
