I'm with a lot of people on here.. It was fun to watch and exhilarating to play (in high school 30 yrs ago-it depended on luck-whether your teacher was cool and knew the sport existed. I can't figure out why this sport in the United States is not competing with other mainstream sports-at least it should be as popular as NHL hockey. I'm sure others on here have similar visions. I'm in! Is it the design of the court (basketball or other)? The camera angle? Needs to be tougher -checking with helmets/padding? Money and/or production issues? Ugh! I know it's something:)!

[@JT-lv2bb]

In Europe it’s more popular than ice hockey my friend!

[@FearsomeVoid]

That goes for the US. Handball is the third most popular team sport around the world. It's only behind football (soccer) and basketball.

[@tk80mufa5]

@@FearsomeVoid Volleyball is more popular in South America, Asia (Japan) and North America. Handball pretty much only Europe, a little bit of North Africa, little bit of Brazil & Argentina. Would even say Rugby is more popular than Handball, especially in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Italy, North America, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand. Then again Rugby is even way more brutal than Handball......

[@VelkanAngels]

@@tk80mufa5 - I don't think he meant, that if we look at each individual country, their respective top sports would be football, basketball and handball. I understood it as if we combine all countries and rate the favourite sports on a global average, football (soccer), basketball and handball would probably be the top 3 most globally played/enjoyed sports. I have no idea if that's true of course, but that's how I understood him.

[@tk80mufa5]

@@VelkanAngels No, it's like 1. FIFA Football 2. Basketball 3. Volleyball For like Europe, North America, South America, Oceania. Excluding stuff like Cricket being super popular in India and therefore messing up most lists. You can research "Top 10 most popular sports lists worldwide" Handball never appears. As I said, even Rugby is collectively more popular , if you accept India then Cricket and Field Hockey are more popular than Handball. Even Ice Hockey propably is slightly more popular than Handball. This is reflective in Handball being a fairly "young" Olympic Sport. It was only introduced in its current indoor variant form in the 1972 games and has remained there ever since. Handball is not even popular in a country like Italy. Only in Scandinavian countries, France, Germany, Spain and Eastern European countries. Basketball and Volleyball are collectively far more popular. I am not even sure Handball will survive the next 30 years in the Olympic program.

[@mareksicinski3726]

It used to be often played on football fields afaik

[@senneallegaert8832]

can someone explain me why the keeper wasnt in the goal sometimes?

[@Akabeche]

You can substitute your keeper for another field player and this way you're 7v6 on the attack, and after the attack you quickly substitute back one player for the keeper. It's also often used when one player in your team gets a 2 minute suspension, you substitute the keeper to keep the attack 6v6

[@kennethcoleman1378]

This is what I get confused about. The rules state you can only take three steps with the ball...but i'm clearly seeing them take way more than three steps when handling the ball. Like i'm seeing 4 and 5 steps at times and even smaller shuffle steps too.

[@pelavi1150]

Bc if there is concat u can have 1 od 2 steps more

[@isgota]

Referees sometimes lose track on number of steps, well you know like happens in basketball.

[@tk80mufa5]

Handball unfortunately is not that serious of a sport. If rules were enforced strictly, almost 10 - 25 % of goals were disallowed. Usually the goals of the wingers who jump into the circle, the ball must leave the hand before one foot touches the ground. You can hear the commentators point this out, that the French winger Luc Abalo got 'lucky' ('stays very long in the air') several times actually, that the refs didn't whistle and disallow. This among other things makes Handball in my book "less of a sport".
