Hahaha I am trying to think through mentally are you able to more or less mug someone with the ball to take it away or do you have to wait for them to throw it and then everyone goes wild with it in the air trying to get it lol

Going to be honest. I looked it up and it looks pretty cool. People flying through the air like a basketball player going for a dunk, then firing a shot on net like a pitcher trying to strike a batter out with the heater.

I'm pretty sure I've played it before, but it's been a long time and I might be confusing it with something called "speed ball". I think rules-wise it's similar to ultimate frisbee.

Ah! Okay I can see it better with the Ultimate Frisbee reference!

I know that it’s quite an European sport but you should watch it as it is really thrilling. A lot faster than soccer.

That is one of if not my biggest complaints with soccer... there will be a ton of action for a minute or two followed by standing and next to no movement for the next 5 minutes

Yes , you are right. Sometimes too much passing the ball without going anywhere. Bundesliga and Premier are perhaps more dynamic than Spanish and Italian leagues.

I am not an expert at all in handball, but rules have nothing to do with Soccer. Lot more dynamic , you can change players in attack and defence. If someone gets a red card, it’s an exclusion for only two minutes. 7 players , two half times of 30 minutes though time can be stopped.
Also contact between players is allowed , much more than in football
