I played Team Handball. Best, dynamic team game, wildly popular in Europe. Results are in 20 - 30 goals. If they had offside rule, it would be in 4 - 8 goals. Boooring!
Games become faster, more goals, more interesting. Some stale soccer games, you have team pressing most of the time, only get beaten by one lucky goal by another team. After 90 minutes of back and forth kicking.
I played soccer, but found Handball much better, you use hands and feet in interesting game. Too bad it is almost unknown in US.
To each their own. Some people finding curling to be exciting. What is good for one sport will not work in another.
