kingdingeling Posted February 1, 2007 Posted February 1, 2007 Check it out, Germany is owning again Germany vs. France ---> 32:31, one of the MOST exciting game I have seen in a LONG time! SO thrilling! So, anyone even heard of the Handball WM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverfox Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 handball, eh? my gf's sister plays that. always used to get handball and hurling mixed up - but only because they wear the same kits in ireland! edit: nope, it's a little different. colloquial familiar translations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayMeow Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Handball WM?! what the heck Here in America, handball is what the teenage punk/druggy kids play, or the old geezers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Weltmeisterschaft i'm sure you'll figure out what it means...bearing in mind, the rest of the world plays "world" sports outside of the US, lol, unlike the "World Series" hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite a big deal over here, also because Germany is in the final w00t!!! did they get there on penalties? unless americans watch football, it's an "in" joke!

kingdingeling Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 no they didn't actually, it was VERY close though. 30 seconds before the end they shot the winning goal!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 no they didn't actually, it was VERY close though. 30 seconds before the end they shot the winning goal!!! sounds pretty intense! that's why i like non-us football and similar sports - the pace makes it more challenging and games tend to be closer. (still i hope we cleared the long-running "soccer" issue up...the football business in britain is part of my degree this year!)

Andrewr05 Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Men running around throwing hand-sized balls into gigantic nets... Thats my kind of game, looks like it requires about as much effort as Frisbee! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats my kind of game, looks like it requires about as much effort as Frisbee! without wishing to digress, "proper" frisbee games are as energetic as basketball! i tried playing on the university team a while back but it was too tough - and i captain an 11-a-side university football team! as for handball, i would imagine that it operates in a *similar* fashion to football and lacrosse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
