Foosball for the larger family

Giant-football-table_front.jpgIf the reproductive therapy worked a little better than expected, keep the litter entertained with Amstel's gargantuan foosball table, created for a Champions' League promo event. Big enough for 22 players—a full soccer team—it has 24 legs, dozens of little plastic men, and requires 6 flight cases to be shipped.

No mention of Maurizio Cattelan?

Several years ago, I played on his 22 person table that was being displayed during LET'S ENTERTAIN at Portland Art Museum. Here is a photo of the original table.

It's limoosball! Seriously, we'll probably see this in stretch limos rather than hot tubs in the near future, especially those in Silicon Valley.

As if there was not enough pressure already on the goal keeper. Yikes! After the ball making it's way past 10 players, the goalie has his/her work cut out for sure. On the plus side, he'll/she'll have enough time to drink a beer before it makes it's way down to him/her. I want one!

Damn. I need more friends.

Finally, foosball can be as low-scoring and boring as real soccer!

Not if there's only 2 players! This thing just inspired a thought: GIGANTIC AIR HOCKEY TABLE, with multiple goals. A man can dream, right?

Nobody will ever score.

Just like my weekends.

I, too, had the opportunity to play the Cattelan table at the Portland Art Museum. I was there with my 3-D Design class and there was plenty of room for the 15 of us and then some. The game never got dull because there were quite a few balls going at once - it was utter mayhem and I loved it.
