minus-squareCrul@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 year agoRandom 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)
minus-squareCalavera@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-21 year agoAh ok, I misunderstood, the one I was thinking is this and was invented in Brazil, I didn’t knoW that lol. Futbolín is called Pebolim at least the region I’m from. This one is still famous today
minus-squareCrul@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoInteresting, I didn’t know about that. Video The Brazilian love of button football (YouTube). Our version of that is “(bottle) cap soccer”: CAMPEONATO FÚTBOL CHAPAS 1 OCTUBRE 2016 (YouTube), very similar the player moves the caps directly with their fingers.
