After a year of barhopping, you can gain love handles or some good foosballer skills. Which of the two do you prefer?
In case you didn't know, foosball (table football) is
the new cool sport in Romania. The first National Foosball Championship organized this past summer by Paprika on Rosengart tables, created a trend that's now circulating in bars and hang-out spots all over the country.
Foosball is what spices up beer binges with the guys, or coffee chats with the girls. By the same token, foosball polarizes and unleashes the energy that was bottled up for years, as each of us has to have had at least one sport related disappointment.
So it's time to add another layer to your bar-veteran status or to your file of Al Bundy memories: become a foosball master! A good time is guaranteed.
If practiced professionally, foosball is incredibly fast, so fast that it's practically impossible to watch it on TV at normal speed. It requires tremendous dexterity and it's very spectacular!
Coordination, pacience and synchronicity, as you pull and rotate the handles, are all qualities that add to your value as a great foosballer. They also add to the show, as the game generates superb passes and fine, yet, subtle, shots. If you add some talent and perseverence, then you're clearly on your way to stand out from the crowd.
There are 36 foosball federations in the world, with Romania being added to the clan this summer.
Here's a list of locations where Rosengart has exclusivity:
- Club Onyx, Regie;
- Amsterdam Cafe - former Cina - Revolution Sq/Benjamin Franklin Street;
- Club Twice - Sf.Vineri Street, # 4
Nota Bene: foosball is a twosome or a foursome affair. And get your mind out of the gutter now; and fast!

hehe, eram tare la jocul asta acum cativa ani;
din pacate clubul unde jucam avea niste
echipamente naspa, scartaiau din toate
incheieturile...
Le-a incercat careva pe astea din cluburile
amintite in articol?
