Foosball

Wow, I played that a lot in Brazil when I was a kid(there it is called futebol de botão), had no idea where it came from haha Unfortunately I don't think kids play it too much these days

Random foosball fun facts:

  • It's called "futbolín" (tiny soccer) in Spain.

  • There are 2 types (from Spanish Wikipedia):

    • The Spanish model, with the field curved downwards towards the center and the metal dolls with open legs. Picture (from here)

    • The international model, with plastic or wooden figures with their legs together (table football). Picture (from the previous link)
