    Still nowhere nearly as fun as basketball but probably the only American football game that was really exciting for me and I had fun watching it.

    Read up on the history of Alex Smith and then watch last years play-off game between the 49ers and Saints. It will help change your mind.

    Almost no one watches American football. Like 80% of the people never watched a game of American football and less than 1% follows it and knows the rules.

    I didn't google these stats but I can tell you from experience. There's a very few people that follow American football here in Croatia.

    Yes,there's rugby but it's not very popular. You can't find a rugby match on TV and there's not many people at stadiums either.

    Soccer is by far the most popular sport in Croatia. I would say basketball is 2nd but Croatia has very strong national teams in handball and water polo (top3 in the world in both sports) so they are somewhat popular. The only other sports that people watch are tennis and skiing.

    In short:
    soccer


    big gap


    basketball

    handball/water polo/tennis/skiing




    big gap


    American football/rugby

    Just know if your not black or spanish, you are gonna take your lumps for a while before you get good lol j/k But this is what it looks like. Basically, you are hitting a blue handball against a tall concrete wall.





    The handball wall is also the canvas for some of the best graffitti in the world!

    What's the purpose of the game ? How to declare who is a winner ?

    Is there any other traditional NYC games ? When I come to NYC I must try them all out

    Its kinda like racquecball or jai alai I guess. My aunt used to be really good. My dad played a bit too. Its amazing for your hand eye coordination. I used to dribble handballs to work on my handle for basketball. A handball is slightly smaller than a tennis ball.

    Btw, I should have mentioned, the piece on the wall is the late great Keith Haring.

    Does anyone of you guys know is it hard to find a job in New York that has to do something with IT (Information technology),programming and stuff like that ?
    Anyone has some connections ?

    In my country programmers are pretty wanted but the salary isn't nearly as good as in the USA or even in the most of European countries like Germany,Norway or Netherlands.

    I don't know anything about the NYC job market, but for someone w your background you should look into any job in oil drilling with the words MWD in it. ESP if you can speak multiple languages and understand programming.
