[@modernfoos]

I love the content you guys are producing in terms of foosball being a less watched sport. I am a big fan n keep posting cool stuff like this.

[@modernfoos]

Thank you for the kind words. Tons more new foosball action headed this way!! :)

[@scottnokes]

I barely won a foosball tournament back in the early 1980's in Hutchinson, MN at the downtown arcade. There were several very good players in the field, and one that I never thought I would beat in the finals. I spent a lot of time practicing passing to from the five man to the three man, developing a nice hard two man shot from the far end, and experimenting with defensive strategies. Bank shots were very effective against players who did not know how to defend against them (perhaps that is a bit obvious). The dexterity required in foosball is very high, but a lot of games against lesser players were fairly easily won by repetitive, but practiced passing sequences, and scoring maneuvers that were lightening quick and buttery smooth. Great memories. Nice to see the game played at such a high level. These players would have easily beaten me, but I might have given them a fight along the way!

Just amazing.

[@Ret_Lineman]

I wasn’t sure if Foosball was still big Played in many tournaments events in the 80s and 90s Russ King and I worked together for a while These kids are good

[@airbender9593]

Come out of retirement and show how it is done?

[@Ret_Lineman]

@ I don’t think the ole pull shot will have much steam on it anymore

[@airbender9593]

@@Ret_Lineman Teach me... then I can show the youngers how it's done after I finished my schooling.. :)

Jacob! Super proud in minny

[@mrchunderful]

Balcos is the real deal. High foos IQ + physical ability

[@neoson690]

Why not put that this is the Final in the title?! That's an important piece of info. None of the videos have the stage info in the title.

[@modernfoos]

There are roughly 300 matches on this channel. Approximately a third of them are finals. Of those, 43 have not only have "final" in the title, but they also have giant emojis highlight that fact. And most of those even have "final" in the thumbnail, too. The fact that this is a final might be important to know while watching the match, but it's practically irrelevant in the big click picture. In fact, your comment does more to drive views than putting "final" in the title. :) After all, look at all the links to the roughly 25% of uploads on this channel that you didn't know existed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXmVgX6HmZyWfa8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKWnpaaHg7uHd7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnqlcmuIg8x9b6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6LIcqVpptV5mdE kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIObhnyvdpqVfsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmLIeZKlbJeaabs kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6fSaayLpr-io9E kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3ycoKmnZcaplZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/haepi4qDmqxqf8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqu4hJeKj9GojZo kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYWraJ5_idKrhqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4HYeqt7map8hZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKnXfIOLg8efi5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnTHqZ-Dr793hbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3LEm6WXe5x9lbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/epjZoqVuYteKbpo kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWbo6mKo8x_lbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnywhHmhpZucpq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXqumHiceZuid6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/jX3TmZeCbKt-adE kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6a2Yn-Drrekmbs kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpLSk2NpgMmnqsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/laKyc4mwiL2Wl7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4fWhq2mhMaZgdU kzbin.info/www/bejne/omnMaHWhqqmWeLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5-Xn32NjdNghac kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYrTYXWHaauXd8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmTCeIV7Zc6Gh68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4TMgaFrarZ9o68 kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5WpaKWLg7eBZ8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCVZmR_hK19l5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJrNaoGEatB-aJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/pGPEdoB9gZqrj8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/eH66cqN7pc9nnq8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYXHd4eAYtiBfbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/opWwlmysZpWBps0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGjPnoaKbKuAl6M kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWa0gpqebp6HaaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIPJoWaOjr9oq7M kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4irap56g695pbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6bIl51vnNKUm5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4uTd2RqrN9pq9k

[@kenjiurban]

Hold on…. Are YOU the commentator?? Oh my goodness that just adds another layer to this fun.

[@modernfoos]

@kenjiurban Not sure the reference here, but there are typically two commentators when Modern Foos is covering a match-Adam Gilson & Clay Tumey. In this particular match, Adam and Clay are joined by World Champion Tommy Yore. Hope this helps! :)

[@kenjiurban]

@ yeah sorry I think I started listening to this video and assumed it was the uploader, something he said which I thought my was the name of this channel.

[@modernfoos]

@@kenjiurban Ah, yes...these are definitely our matches that we covered. We stream live on Twitch when the tournaments happen, and then we upload individual matches later here on our KZbin. This content is all ours.

[@kenjiurban]

@@modernfoos cool 😀

[@freduberlauf]

Good job picking Tommy Yore's brain, super interesting.

[@modernfoos]

Glad you think so! What was your favorite part?

[@everinnajin]

I cant imagine how many times theyve accidentally smacked their nads.

[@modernfoos]

More than zero! 🤣

[@wescook8300]

I am 58 and used to play a lot, I think I have some shots they never seen before!

[@modernfoos]

There's only one way to find out. :)

[@mtzmechengr5781]

There should be a time limit how long a player can keep possession

[@modernfoos]

There are time limits for this. 10 seconds on the 5-bar and 15 seconds everywhere else. Read about this and other rules here: bit.ly/mfrulebook

[@chrisdonahue]

The timeouts are such BM 🤣

[@gcodin11]

Game 2 missing from this?

[@HelloIamClay]

Hmm… Don’t recall if that was intentional or something else. I’ll check tonight. There goes my perfect streak again!

[@hatethetube46]

6:54 Cool moment

[@modernfoos]

Agreed! This is in the queue for uploading as a short (with multiple angles).
