I‘d like to call it Korbball, but unfortunately, the Dutch already called their gay little basketball version Korfball

>>150336808
No it isn't, it fucking sucks ass. I played it a lot as a kid since my best friend always wanted to play and dragged me along and it fucking sucks. The ball is super uncomfortable to throw, throwing a baseball in comparison feels like fucking sex. Half the court is pointless space just like basketball so you constantly jog up and down and up and down. Blocking is lame and boring, but goalkeeping was the closest thing I had to having fun until you take a ball to the face that was impossible to react to due to the speed. And even in the rare case when you pulled off some sick shot to score a point that felt amazing, it's just one of like 50 points in the match so even that doesn't feel special.

It's a shitty boring sports where the lows are low, and the highs are low aswell. You will NEVER experience something in handball as euphoric as scoring a blooter in footy. And of course, it's even more boring to watch handball than to play it. I really wish it could just be forgotten so we could stop wasting athletic talent on that piece of shit sport it FUCKING SUCKS.

>>150332885 (OP)
it's an abbreviation like footy, rugby, or soccer.
But we don't use it.

>>150332885 (OP)
>listening to foreigners ever

>>150337046
I was just about to ask what's even the point of a goalkeeper in handball since they seem to literally never be able to stop a throw, might as well just make the goal way smaller.
I too will now hate handball.

>>150336504
"Real" handball never existed in the first place, it's a fabrication continental Europeans invoke only whenever you accuse them of just having soccer for team sports.

>>150338237
They save about 35% of all shots, sometimes up to 50%. It’s not too bad. In fact, you could argue that the issue is that the game basically only depends on whose keeper has the better day
My main gripe with handball is that it is hilariously rig-friendly. Refs can fuck up everything if they feel like it, and it’s impossible to win then
It’s still nice overall. Athleticism, team coordination, high scoring, not too many ngubus

It should be called Manletfilterball

>>150338237
From the little I saw during the Olympics goalies seem to matter a lot. Those blocked shots end up mattering big time far as I can tell

>>150338286
>>150338365
Too late. Fuck handball.

I love watching basket, volley, hand, base, soft, dodge, paint, and foot.

>>150335836
xdddddddd

In Croatia they call it Kosarkas and soccer Nogomet.

We call it liquorice ball because the players are the same color as liquorice.

foreigners own the nba now
we can call it what we like

>>150337968
I don't care and I hope our NT will continue to choke and lose so that we can delete this shit sport from history.

>>150338237
Based!

>>150338237
>might as well just make the goal way smaller
And maybe suspend in in the air
They could even make it ring-shaped and you'd have to toss the ball inside it

>>150338966
Conversely, that’s why NBA is boring and sucks now.

we have a different word for basket though

>>150338404

I think it's cute when they spell it "basquet"

>>150339475
Only if you put the ring horizontally, can't stand vertical rings.

>>150339475
Three of them and keep the goalie but give him a paddle to try to block the rings

>>150337046
absurdly untrue
the 2007 world cup matches of the German handball team were some of the most exciting sporting matches I’ve ever seen on television. Even the latest olympics had tons of very tense moments. e.g. the insane match vs France

>>150338237
what? handball goalies make a huge difference and do make some absolutely spectacular saves every single match
probably the hardest position to play of any sport tho yes because you have to be both tall and incredibly athletic while also constantly facing incredibly hard and fast shots
