yea thats more like it, but you dont need 3 passes to score. and you can bounce the ball and run instead of just taking 3 steps and then pass.

Here in Holland u don't see much handball, actually, i myself dont even like the sport... but hey, that's just me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Even hockey (not the ice version) is more popular than handball here [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] (don't like that either)

I think people are getting handball confused with dodgeball, but both aren't taken seriously where I live anyways (New Jersey).

Yeah it does a bit, except the scoring (at least when I saw it on TV) is more like football (soccer).
