Falcao makes around $25,000 per month, which is certainly respectable, but Falcao is essentially the Cristiano Ronaldo of futsal, so remuneration is nowhere like the same. As a result, you may as well suppose that the absolute best players make $300,000 each year. Actually, the real figure is probably much lower. The most popular game in Brazil is called football and it's very similar to soccer. The only real difference is that there are two feet used instead of one, and that ball has feathers on it instead of leather. In fact, football is just another name for futsal. Football players don't use muscles that are specific to running or jumping; they use all of the same ones that futsal players do. So really, football isn't any harder than futsal. In terms of pay, however, football does offer its players somewhat more opportunity for financial gain. Football teams can be organized in a league structure, just like basketball teams, so there are generally two seasons: a pre-season period and a regular season. During the pre-season, new players can be signed by teams but they can also leave if other options come up. This allows managers to try out different combinations without losing valuable time if they fail. In the regular season, only those players who remain with their teams can play.
