Subbuteo (Table football)

[Cyprom]

Hello guys,

I would like to ask you if some of you know what Subbuteo is?

If you are interested to play or something else, you can ask me. I'm helping different people to create there federation in their country.

You can know more about this on www.fistf.com the official website of International Federation.

If you need informations about how to get material, how to be affiliates or how to play in a tournament, feel free to PM me and I'll answer you.

Cheers, Cyprom.

My parents got me a Subbuteo when I was like 5, it was my first football game

I always sucked at it though

I crushed all my players within a week of getting my set.

Subbuteo was subject to some of the worst goalkeeping mistakes ever known to man

I hated the way you controlled the keepers on it

That's cool to see that many people here know Subbuteo.

I posted this just to see if youngsters would be interested to play this again, and currently, more than 50% are still interested.

I already contact a guy in Estonia who was interested and he decided to create Estonia Subbuteo Federation. That's our main goal, create many federation all around the world so maybe we have a chance to be see as a sport.

To Dazmania, why do you ingest everything mate??

Not the hand Bonzi mate, your finger only. It's not that easy that many people think, we need to train a lot to be very good. I'll try to get some videos if I can and you'll see how hard it is!

I remember the old adverts they had with some little kid pulling off some class moves. One of the best being where he catapaulted over the wall to get a free-kick in.
