Team Handball

Been watching Team Handball on the Olympics, I've played it before at school, it's very fun to play. I find it actually pretty entertaining to watch.

My wife and I watched it for the first time a couple of days ago; we both liked it quite a bit. I was actually expecting something like Dodgeball o) but ended up with something a lot different.

I guess my only quibble with the sport is that it seems to be completely unoriginal. Basketball + Football + Soccer = Handball

It's on MSNBC right now. It's a pretty contact ladden sport. Guy's getting jacked in the face left and right. Faceplants. Handball to the crotch. Ect. It looks like it could be pretty brutal.

I'd rather see regular old soccer, basketball, or football myself. I want my sports a bit more specialized. But that's just me.

The goalkeepers are crazy, it´s extremely painful to get a handball in the head.

I played in high school, it was awesome fun. The goals we used were quite a bit smaller (probably about 6x4, the size of an ice hockey goal), so goaltending was a bit easier. I took a shot in the face from about 10 feet away once, that felt tingly for a while.
