Why are they so bad in handball?It is a very basic and intuitive sport.
>>152525092what is handball?
>>152525101It's something for manlets to do instead of volleyball or basketball. Futsal is even more respectable because you need great technique; just a shame it's so pussified. Can rank handball somewhere between korfbal and badminton. Irrelevant.
>>152525203>handball>manlets
>>152525101European basketball, but with extra sideways passing, more defending and a goalkeeper.Basically, if Pepe Guardiola designed basketball from scratch.
>>152525101It's like modern day nba except they replaced the hoop with a goal.
>>152525092They live in a barrel. Their sports are masonic humiliation (american football) or religious (baseball) rituals.
>>152525203Ok youve never played or watched handball>>152525101Like football but throwing the ball into a smaller goal and the players kill each other
>>152525229The problem with basketball is the lack of goalkeepers. This is discriminatory. In hockey, football, handball even the wierd autistic kid with poor social skills has a role.
>>152525092They don’t know it, and they are too used to basketball, which is somewhat similar. Many Americans I have shown handball to liked it because it’s physical and high-scoring, but they still didn’t really feel a need for it because they seem to equate to basketball plus more contact (good) -and more sideways passing (bad)
>>152525203You play futsal? It seems like one of the most fun sports there are.
>>152525246did you post this from the fish factory
>>152525279Funny you say that. The fish factory is actually an employment opportunity here. I am above it though. Only drug addicts think employment is appropriate.
>>152525270recreationallybasketball, competitively, but slightly over 1.90 (6.3 in freedom units) means I'm essentially a manlet
>>152525203badminton is just the first version of pickleball
>>152525092they're dogshit at any sports played worldwide. Football and F1 are the canonical sports and they're shit at both, they had to invent their own football (which is played with hands and can be played by fatsos) and Nascar (which is fucking retarded)
>>152525279>>152525313>>152525821>All these rare flagsIt's pretty obvious this is an /int/ crossover thread.
They're thinking about us again, Americhads
>>152525203Average handballer is like 190cm tall, the fuck are you talking about? Many of them could have easily ended up in basketball or volleyball
>>152525882Nothing is beyond our reach
>>152525092We played handball in gym class at school for fun, but its not taken seriously outside of that. It probably should be though, would be another sport that schools could easily add. I never saw what a real match looked like until I looked one up on youtube
>>152525203The only position a manlet can realistically play in handball is wing where the average height is 185cmA pivot is 197cm on average, backcourt 196cm
>>152525092>Why are they so bad in handball?It is not on TV here outside of the Olympics. Nobody watches it, and like 50 hipster faggots in the entire nation play it.
>>152525092More like why ISN'T Handball the biggest sport in the world?>It's fast.>Many goals (should especially apply to americans who complain about soccer in this regard)>Close games are fucking intense, and you can't truly call it before the timer ends.
>>152526443The IHF is trying hard to make Americans love it. As hard as they can with their limited possibilities. They want to break European dominance so bad
>>152525092The fuck is handball?
>>152525812badminton is superior because it doesn’t require any particular surface
>>152527261White people sport #1 in Europe, but still very athleticism-heavy, with lots of contact. Also high scoring. But ridiculously easy to rig for reffies and very autisticAlso, France has been starting the ngubu wave even thereIt is an Olympic sport and reasonably popular across many European countries, but also in Brazil and North Africa, especially Egypt. A few other countries also play, but fall victim to a gargantuan power gap. European Championships and World Championships are essentially the sameAlso, England in football = Germany in handball
