Bit of an English Futsal first today (I think!) Manchester are broadcasting a live stream to there home against Leeds this afternoon, broadcast starts at 2.30 and kick off is 3pm at the Velodrome in Manchester.

They had a dummy run during last weeks match and all went well, looked like a serious set up produced by a sizeable crew.

Details here.

In another English first first Manchester have produced there own magazine for anyone interested in having a read, it can be found here.

Doubt it, if it didn't get picked up for the Rio games I can't see it anywhere to be honest!

The 2012 world cup kicks off on the 1st November though which should be a good watch.

Finished Manchester 6-1 Leeds, was tighter than it sounds.

Streaming seemed to go well, decent viewing figures for first time out, all sections of the pre-post and in game action are available here.

Don't think its unfair to say some of the lads are a bit camera shy when off the court!

Had the honour yesterday of being invited to photograph the England Partially Sighted Squad playing a warm up game against Liverpool ahead of there trip to Japan next month for the World Championships.

Cracking set of lads, played out a tough game in a fantastic venue, a few pics here

Elsewhere in English Futsal, the England team are going well ahead of next months European Qualifiers, a recent trip to Norway saw them come away with a win and a draw against higher ranked opposition in Denmark and Norway.

Domestically, the northern league is tight, with Sheffield leading the way, but Manchester, Middlesbrough and Leeds CYDC are all still in the race for the title and the introduction of the top 4 from the 3 regional leagues going into a 12 team National Super League (that name rings a bell!) has spiced things up right down the table.

Manchesters next fixture is January 13th, 5pm at the Velodrome against Liverpool in what promises to be a decent north west derby if anyone fancies it give me a shout for more details if you need them!

England v Lithuania tonight and tomorrow we play Cyprus in the European Championships qualifying stages.

Both games streamed live here, tonights kicks of at 4.30 UK time and I think tomorrow will be 1pm (the times on the website are local time in Lithuania).

Haha, truly unbeliveable scenes here!

A nicer set of lads you couldn't wish to meet, did England proud tonight, I hear the feed was ropey, worked for some not others, roll on Turkey in March, in the mean time I believe theres a drunk English snapper wondering the streets of Kaunas without a proper coat on, good job its warmed up to -15!
