Day 2: Towards the decision day: No mistakes allowed

Get a big bunch of great beachsoccering, add a wonderful and noisy crowd, sunny weather and fill it with some surprises and you will get what this second day of this FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup Qualifier has been. The stands full again become the best proof that the beach soccer spectacle is winning adepts day after day.

Making one’s way to the World Cup is something really tough. And it gets tougher as the team grow, what ends up offering leveled matches and even bet-breaking results. Spain has been the ones to suffer it in more strength. The winners of this season’s Euro Beach Soccer League Stage in Marseille have proven unable to turn upside down the score arisen by The Netherlands. Switzerland, similarly, have been beaten by Ukraine, and they see further now their ticket to the world’s most important Beach Soccer date.

But these have not been the only remarkable things in such a complete day. Other teams, such as Portugal, Greece , France or “the sand soldiers” Russia, as funnily defined by Andorra’s captain, keep rolling over their strong lanes heading for the next round.

This last-16 stage is to get defined tomorrow, from 9:00 am, with another day packed with the best Beach Soccer, to be witnessed in another non-stop round of 13 matches. Some teams will make their way, other will collapse. If you do not want to miss any detail, do not lose sight of www.beachsoccer.com.
