Take a trip across the globe and you might be surprised at all the places you'll find Foosball Tables. They are in Mediterranean taverns, on Caribbean beaches, in internet cafes in Southeast Asia, and just about anywhere else you might find people gathering for recreation.
The Belgian magazine
Le Soir Illustre gives French inventor
Lucien Rosengart credit for inventing the first table, his original name for foosball
"Baby-Foot" which is still the term used in France.
The name
"foosball" is derived directly from the German
"fussball", literally
"football". Of course, there is the more formal name of table soccer, foosball was little more than a parlor game played by a few people here and there during its first decades.
It wasn't until the 1940s that foosball saw a huge surge in popularity, foosball enthusiasts today regard foosball as a sport that requires its own set of hand-eye coordination, hand strength, and quick reflexes.
There are several different styles of foosball tables, some tables are quick, hard surfaces, while others are soft and even sticky. These different foosball tables play to different player strengths, and each style has its own following.
