That futsal is not helpful to Soccer was not implied at all. But the point is that in these futsal “leagues” it is hard to determine the quality of a team, league or club based on futsal. You can determine footskills and first touch but a less skilled experienced futsal team would beat a highly skilled group of players. The tactics and set pieces of futsal are very different than soccer. The point is, due to other reasons mentioned as well as a high variance between those who train and play futsal, the results in these leagues will reveal almost nothing about the quality of the soccer team.
