I'm not from the UK, but I know what handball is. Might not be the same thing as over here though.

Not many people play it over here so this club is as good as it gets.

So it's netball/basketball with a goal, except you can take a few extra steps?

[StLGooner]

Not the same handball as in the states.

No you can still only take 3 I believe, but otherwise you're correct.

denmark!? no, it's croatia, trust me!

@ trina, it's not like basketball, it's contact sport, not like basketball, and the ball is smaller, and it's really good sport.

Have you ever been to an NBA game Niko? Basketball has a lot more contact than you think my friend. You can hear them elbowing each other from your seats, and I don't mean courtside seats.

no France, they won the olympics and Iceland came second
Iceland is a 300.000 ppl nation and to finish second on the olympics is a great achivement.

ÁFRAM ÍSLAND..

haha, I was just about to comment on the non contact part. I used to love Basketball when I was at school and was very good at it. In no way was it a non contact sport
