The U.S. national futsal team went 0-3 in round-robin play to finish last in the Second Rio de Janeiro tournament in Brazil. The results are surprising, as the USA is ranked third all-time in the sport, trailing only Brazil and Spain.

Tampa Bay Mutiny keeper Doug Petras was in the nets for the U.S.
