^ Tennis is probably my 3rd favorite, maybe even my 2nd favorite.

I also believe this, and this is the first time someone else says the same. Cool!

I'd put handball on the same level with basketball for me. Not as fun to play, but much more entertaining to watch.

Especially Nordic teams of women's handball...

Hardly a team sport.

I think I know which team you're "targetting" and which players.

Of course my favorite sport to watch and play is Football (I can't stand that silly name soccer).

for you americans this is team handball (JJLetho) most action filled teamsports.

often called the most "american" sport not popular in America

this is a bad version of Handball (technicaly) but a nice way to show how it is build and how to play it



this is how real intence handball is looking and played by the pros

Yes, but it's silly anyway, although I understand why some have to use that name for it.   When you have chosen to give a game where you carry around an egg shaped (yes, it looks like an egg) ball with your hands the name of football, it's understandable that you need to call a game where you kick a ball with your feet something else.

Snow Dog wrote: My theory is that people hate the word soccer because that is what they call it in the US(not just there Australia and NZ too) but it a UK word.

That's probably right, well in my case anyway. I think it's a weird name for it, but understands why it's called that in the States and other places.
