Human kicker
Human table football or human football , live football , even megakicker or Riesenkicker (in Austria Riesenwuzzler ), is a variant of football .
The game works similarly to table football , only with real players. The two teams with five players each stand in the field, like a table football, fixed on bars (sometimes with hip belts). All players must keep their hands on the pole, including the goalkeeper. In theory, it is also possible to play the ball with your elbow as long as your hands are still on the bar. Players who play on a pole with other players can only move left or right together. This interdependence is often the source of amusement for both players and spectators.
Football skills are an advantage for human soccer players, but are not absolutely necessary. Special equipment is also not required. The condition and age of the players are irrelevant. The level of difficulty can be influenced by the type of ball used.
The soccer tactics change, contrary to the normal football. A popular tactic in human kicker is, for example, to flip over the goalkeeper , as he is usually only allowed to fend off the ball with his head or with his feet. A goalkeeper himself can score quite a number of goals with this method.
In Baindt in the Ravensburg district , the German Championship in Human Table Soccer has been held annually since 2013 , which is organized by Germany's first official Human Table Soccer Association. With four titles, the Los Cordones team is German record champions. Los Cordones won the title in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2019.
