2010 World Cup of Table Soccer
Wow, what a weekend of Foosball!
One of the biggest and definitely the best table soccer competition to take place in China to date. Players from all over the world and all over China came together at the Big Bamboo on Nanyang Lu in Shanghai, China. Twelve events were held over the weekend of April 9 to 11.
We had Women, Men, Amateurs and Pros all taking part. The event was all about fierce but still friendly competition, renewing old friendships and starting new ones.
I keep trying to retire from organizing these competitions but our sponsor Robert Ploeger brings so much passion to the game that it is very hard to do. Thanks again Robert.
Will there be more competitions in Shanghai like this in the future? Who knows. But one thing is for sure - this one was very special! Thanks to everyone who played and especially to those who traveled to Shanghai just to take part.
If you took photos please email to me or else throw them on a CD and bring or send to me soon if possible. Thanks. Photos will be up in a few days hopefully on our website at www.shanghaifoosball.com
Keep on foosin"
