Why is handball so underrated? There are crybabies, there are memeplayers, it's intense, it's brutal. What went wrong then? I really enjoy watching this.
>inb4 i just want to show that Kielce is superior
>>
>>67945640
It's a pretty meme sport that is irrelevant here apart from international tournaments.

It has great potential because only relevant countries + slavic countries play it.
>>
>>67945640
Because being able to control a ball with your hands isn't as impressive or powerful as with your feet

HANDBALL > FOOTBALL

BIELECKI > RONALDO

I watched the game in Cologne only because I ran into the Kielce fans in the centre and walked and chanted with them all the way to the stadium. Was top bants

I'm a Kielce fan for life now. There were a lot of cameras on us I would love to know if I made it onto polish media

really? you get paid millions of dollars to kick a ball 5 or 6 times a week. you have the lowest chance of being injured than any of the other people on your team. you only work once a week. did i mention the millions of dollars?

what a stupid argument

its harder to control a ball with your feet therefore the standards are lowered, hence the shitshow of retarded flailing that ends in 0-0 is called "great" by yuropoors

Redpill me on handball /sp/. Simply judging this picture I would say it's like soccer with your hands instead of feet? Is there contact allowed? Any weird rules? What's the deal?
>>
>>67977266
Basketball rules applied to soccer structure.
>>
>>67977039

Not even true. Highest attendance in the world for the last 30 years at least.
>>
>>67977266
its allowed, its similar to waterpolo in terms on contanct, they do all kinds of dirty shit
>>
>>67977315
Do you have to dribble (bounce) the ball?
>>
>>67977266

It's not like soccer, games end like 32 to 30
>>
>>67977266
It's like basketball with more contact and goals instead of hoops.
>>
>>67967984

This.

But that works to your benefit, Dejan, because you balkanfags are renowned for being cheeky cunts that love to take advantage of stuff like that in any sport.
>>
>>67977408
Yes. Dribbling, not allowed to take more than 3 steps holding the ball, etc.. It's slightly more physical than Basketball, i guess.
>>
>>67977369

Basically this in terms of contact. The guy that plays center and goes in the middle in between the defense lads receives a nice session of ''''contact'''' per game.

Other than that it's bounce the ball at least once per 3 steps, you cannot step on the area while the ball is in your hands (thats why they do all this fancy jumping), and defenders cannot step their own area at all.

I really enjoy the sport, but it's hard to follow it in the US. I actually await the Summer Olympics so that I can enjoy some lovely handball.

It's ok, used to play it as a kid, then turned into a manlet :(
btw shouldn't americans love it? I mean they're always complaining about football because a game can finish 0-0, they should love a sport than finishes 26-25, no?

Are golf and tennis not sports Americans like? NHL is one of the Big 4 leagues, but Americans don't like hockey?
>>
>>67979305
yeah and they are all sports where americans are pretty good at and have a decent chance of winning in, your point?
>>
>>67979327
You think anyone expects Isner to have a decent chance of winning a major? Is your great revelation here that some sports in America are more popular than others, just like some sports in Australia or the Netherlands are more popular than others?

Whatever theory you have is stupid and there will be a counter example if you don't move any goalposts
>>
>>67979426
Golf is a huge sport because so many rich old people play it and it's the only sport you can play at that age, not the winning factor
>>
>>67979426
I wouldn't even call tennis that big of a sport in America, but >who is Serena Williams?
>>
>>67979463
Rich old people play squash and sail too, but no one cares about those. Yes I realize that age is much less a factor in elite competitveness in golf than squash

But yes, you with golf it's pretty hard to say that it's the chance of an American winning are the main factor of its popularity

>>67979535
>Women's sports
Anon, think about what the fuck you are doing.

And you have a pretty high threshold to say that tennis isn't a popular American sport.
>>
>>67979591
Tennis isn't a top 5 sport in America

>Women's sports
Sorry by all means but Serena is considered a top athlete and hyped up all the time on american tv. Which is what draws your people into tennis. but again it's all irrelevant as tennis isn't a big sport in the USA per se
>>
>>67945640

Because it's all about the refball.
>>
>>67979754
So you want to list the Top 5 sports of each country by television viewership then and explain to me what is so offending about America?
>>
>>67976550
>>67977633
Volleyball is an underrated sport, and both men's and women's volleyball is fucking awesome in my opinion. It's the only women's sport where I am genuinely interested in it, not for their asses but because they're legit good at it and it's fun to watch.
>>
>>67979994
I don't have the numbers but it'll be probably something like NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, Nascar or something then you have boxing and the olympics. I'm just saying americans only care about sports when they got someone to cheer on, like how USA performed in the WC in 2014 and suddenly america is all in hoots about football.
>>
>>67980253
>I'm just saying americans only care about sports when they got someone to cheer on, like how USA performed in the WC in 2014 and suddenly america is all in hoots about football.
True, we only care about non-American sports when an American team or player is competing in them. Though I have actually become a fan of divegrass since that World Cup. I've probably watched more divegrass over the last 2 years than I did in my entire life before then.
>>
Because shot clock violation is randomized,and ref s call it whenever they feel like.
