    Foosball World Championships

    Well after Team USA winning the World Cup the last 3 years, Belgium led by the world's #1 player Frederico Collignon, took home the Mens World Cup. Not only does Europe have all those foosball leagues going, they also eliminated the USA's main table of play, which is the Tornado table.

    ^ All results

    ^ Juniors divsion that the Netherlands took.

    Once again, the World Cup was held in Nantes France. Foosball is growing in Europe and sadly dying in the USA.

    I'd like to add, they really get into their games over there in Europe. I've watched live streaming of the foosball matches and the fans in the stands are very loud and supportive of their teams. Our Colorado champ, Robert Mares, even made a postage stamp, France I believe. Video and poker has about killed foosball in America and Fire Fox don't even recognize it as a word, I get a red line under it each and every time I type it. What a shame.

    I'm almost as bad as Joey and Chandler at foosball.

    That's better then spending hundreds of hours on the table like me and finding out you turn into a blooming idiot, when you grabbed the handles.

    Like all games practice, practice, practice and hope you can bring it to a match.
