POLISH SOCCER

THIS DEVIATES FROM NORMAL SOCCER IN THAT IT IS
CONTINUOUS PLAY AND ALL ROUGHHOUSE TACTICS ARE
LEGAL. IT IS USUALLY PLAYED WITH A GREAT MANY
PEOPLE IN A SMALL AREA. THREE MEN ARE ALLOWED TO
PROTECT YOUR GOAL WHILE EVERYONE ELSE REPRESENTS
THE OFFENSE. THEY FORM A WALL AND LITERALLY PUSH
THE BALL THROUGH THE OPPOSING TEAM'S GOAL RESTRIC-
TIONS. THE MORE KICKS, ELBOWS AND PUNCHES THE
BETTER.
