Futsal needs more competitive teams at the top, not just Brazil winning constantly.

Brazil's win solidifies their position at the top, however, Matías Rosa's equalizer for Argentina demonstrated their resilience and ability to compete at the highest level. It was a tight game that could have gone either way.
