Actually, the tricks are real. Unfortunately, they're not very difficult for accomplished players to perform. Back in the early '80s when foosball was gaining popularity, I got involved in foosball cashspiels (eliminations for cash prizes) and these sorts of tricks were already commonplace. The ball-juggling thing was not for use during actual games, but just for showing off (unless you wanted to eat a knuckle sandwich); the second technique (an example of which is shown at the end of the clip) is still the most common technique in foosball, i.e. either bounce the ball off the wall repeatedly, parallel to your rod, so that it bounces back, whereupon you let it slide past the first man and hit it with the second man; or quickly pull the ball parallel to the rod with the first man and strike it with the second man as it clears your opponent's defender(s). The idea is to either confuse your opponent, or catch him/her napping. In reality, this technique is probably the first one that any foosball player learns.

I would have been more interested if English were applied to the ball (by exerting heavy pressure on the man so that the ball squirts sideways and curls into the goal) or if bankshots were shown. But, lacking stuff like that, I agree that this clip wasn't very impressive.

me too

I'm not saying the guy doesn't have skills, it just doesn't have much of a WOW factor, compared to those Japanese guys that play ping-pong Matrix style, ok?

Oh no, wait. I found it:

That's the only one I can do so far.
