Sounds like an awesome game. Although it seems like one of those games that is good
to watch but the sport will never really be popular like tennis or football etc.
Much like handball in that respect.

I LOVE handball.
And sepak takraw looks really good, must hurt landing on that hard floor when an overhead kick goes wrong.
Its on in the Asian games on British Eurosport in an hour. Can't wait !

Yeah Handball is a great sport to watch but it will never be recognised as a truly great sport.

If i was to play this, my leg would be the one going over the net and not the ball.

Saw highlights of the final in the Asian games between Thailand and Malaysia.
Was totally amazed at the heights, angles and distances from the net they were doing the overheads from.
