Wow, I played that a lot in Brazil when I was a kid(there it is called futebol de botão), had no idea where it came from haha Unfortunately I don't think kids play it too much these days
Random foosball fun facts:
It's called "futbolín" (tiny soccer) in Spain.
There are 2 types (from Spanish Wikipedia):
The Spanish model, with the field curved downwards towards the center and the metal dolls with open legs. Picture (from here)
The international model, with plastic or wooden figures with their legs together (table football). Picture (from the previous link)
If fusbool is "tiny soccer" what's Subbuteo as that's even smaller.
sub...atomic soccer? :P
