Keep up the great work with your Videos. I really enjoy them and started to practice again. I like to see many different styles. Awesome work. Ty Modern Foos

This match is so amazing I won't even pinpoint any one play.

[@Unkn0wnGuy]

If you're passing on the 5 bar and hit the wall pass (brush or stick) really hard, essentially jarring the defender off the wall enough so the ball sneaks through, is that a jar since you're the one making the pass? That's what happened to munoz in this game.

[@modernfoos]

Simplest way to say it is if you move the table in a way that impacts the opponent's ability to play the game, then that's a jar. So with your example, yes that would be illegal. You can't move the table and make it so that the defender can't defend. -clay

This happened once when I was defending the five, and I asked the person who made the pass about it. He said it wasn’t and thought I was an asshole for asking. I’ve also never seen a ref make this call. It could be a violation, but considering they allow the John Wayne shot and slingshots, it would have to be flagrant.

what’s the story of ending a game with a dink😂

[@modernfoos]

That story will continue with tomorrow's episode, but basically it's to honor his late father.

Robin Hanke does not really represent whats good about European foosball. He is a semi-good technical player but after all these years (and playing with or against numerous legends) still has no grasp of the meta game. His defense is a joke to be blunt, his offense is done as soon as his arsenal is used up. This game is perfect proof of that. These two players are worlds apart, hats off to Brandon for making it worth our while.

[@HelloIamClay]

To be fair, most players (even the good ones) are worlds apart from Brandon Muñoz. I find European foosball to be mostly boring, so while I won't say that Hanke is a god-tier fooser, I definitely enjoyed watching him play in Vegas, which is more than I can say for even the best Europeans that were there. To each their own, I guess.

[@tmarc3383]

Haha, you really want to talk about Robin Hankes foosball metagame. Robin plays foos like 25 years. He has fun playing his style, he is dedicated to foos and is a true legend. Please explain, why foosers like Frank Brauns played so many tournaments with him. I can tell you. He never gives up and fights till the end. You don't need to like him, but to disrespect his abilities, attitude and so on is a bit harsh to say at least. Cheers
