Hey!Soccer (football in Europe or futebol in Brazil) and volleyball have another child.It's called futevolei. Americans, when they catch on can feel free to call it Vocker (it makes just as much sense as calling football soccer).This is a game that started on the beaches of Rio. Teams kick a volley ball over the net and are not allowed to use their hands. Here are a couple links that might help illustrate this incredibly challenging game:www.futevolei.com.br - the brazilian national federation.http://www.flickr.com/photos/claudiolara/427151111/A wonderful picture of a game being played on the beaches of Rio where I grew up. Can you see the advantages in Brazil's sport versus the Malaysian counterpart? I can. :-)PS. I'm a huge fan of your site.Luis Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
