I have a really bad case of Football Fever… I’m so excited about Bafana Bafana.

What can you do to contain your Football fever? Play Foosball.

This is a great game and is played all around the world. I did some research (OK, I just went to Wikipedia) and I found that this game was in invented in 1922 in the UK by a huge Tottenham supporter and it has grown immensely. Today there are number of shots and even an International Table Football governing body.

Here is a list of some of the Foosball shots:

“Pull Kick” – Pulling the rod to direct the ball to another man for a shot
“Push Kick” – Pushing the rod to direct the ball to another man for a shot
“Bank Shot” – Intentionally aiming at a side wall to ‘bank’ the ball towards the net
“Snake Shot” – When the ball is in front pin position, rotating the rod <360 degrees to hit the ball forwards
“Pull Shot” – Pulling the rod to direct the ball towards you before shooting with the same man
“Push Shot” – Pushing the rod to direct the ball away from you before shooting with the same man
“Pin Shot” – Pinning the ball under the foot of the man and then moving to either side bringing the foot of the man behind with the same man and striking the ball forward
