I have been posting the results and videos of these matches. Today was the final. After a 0-0 tie in Argentina, Sao Paulo was beating Tigres 2-0, then the Argentinians abandoned the match in the 2nd half (!!), the first time this has ever happened in a SA final, an act that should carry severe consequences for that team (usually carries stiff financial penalties and bans the team for many years).
Sao Paulo was then declared Champion after 30 minutes.
Rogerio Ceni, the team captain, adds yet another champion title, at 39-years old. It was also Lucas' last match for Sao Paulo, as he was tranferred to Paris St. Germain. Lucas was chosen as the best player of the match and the best player of the tournament overall.
These are image captures from the live feed off the Internet.
Rogerio Ceni, the team captain, made Lucas lift the cup in his place. What a gentleman, what a player.
Lucas and Roger Ceni embrace:

I asked the league, and these are the answers:
- For U14 and higher divisions we follow the FIFA law. Once the goalie releases the ball, either from an original pass back, a save or goal clearance, he cannot receive the ball back from his team, in his own half, at all, unless a player on the opposing team has touched it.
- For example, he throws the ball out to his team, his team, passes the ball around all over the court even on the other half. They can still not pass it back until someone on the other team touches it.
- You can kick it to your goalie from a kick in, but once he releases it he can't receive it back unless he receives it on the other team's half, or a player on the other team touches it.

This coming Saturday is our last Saturday soccer of 2012. I will be away for 3 weeks starting the following week. As it gets nearer Xmas and people may get busy with parties, I am recruiting players early this time. Any remaining spots will be open to other teams. Kindly let me know by Monday night if your son is coming for sure by using this form.
First come first served, 18 players maximum.
Cost: $0, donations accepted (and welcome!)
Volunteers to take down the nets are also welcome! What takes 2 people 20 minutes would take 2 minutes with more helpers!
A volunteer adult to write down scores and stats would be very welcome. I'd like to add "most assists" next week as well.
Last Saturday I brought bigger nets and we played with real futsal rules to get our players used to it for the team's upcoming winter league. On Saturday AM I also watched one of the league matches at a high school, and I intend to do so again next Saturday. If your son wishes to join please let me know.

It was a very interesting outcome today. A 3-way tie, how closer than that can it get?
In soccer everything is possible. Orange team, playing as "home", started creaming the 2 teams, to then lose its two "away" matches. Light green secured the championship on the last match by scoring 4 unanswered goals.
Many thanks to the 19 players who came today.
The Champions:
The top scorer received his prize with his eyes closed, as a surprise:

This is the very end of the South American semi-finals match last night, as recorded by a fan on the upper stands. This is how it is to be at a stadium in Brazil, non-stop party, 100% energy, always.
Sao Paulo advances to the finals of the South America Cup.
Note in the video the player in red? He is the goal keeper for the U. Catolica. Catolica needed to score a goal to advance, so the goalkeeper went up to attack in the last couple of minutes.
This is Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo, where I have been to watch many soccer matches, some with over 120,000 people there.
Watch the emotions and sportsmanship, in spite of the ferocious battle on the field. Players exchanging jerseys, including the two keepers, Ceni a living legend, Toselli, a new star.
