Water Polo anyone

Is anyone here a big fan of water polo? I know that Europe has a couple leagues and I play for my school but is anyone really into it? Do people even know what it is lol? I find that most people dont anyways do tell lol

How do you play polo in the water?? Wouldnt horses drown?

its a game well i find it hard to explain i know there should be a link to explain it out there some where. But it was made to be rugby in the water a British Swim Cluib wanted to have people show up at their swim meets so they payed a couple o guy's to play rugby in the water then it popular. Its an Olympic sport. Ill look for a link for you though.

Google to the rescue!!

Looks like soccer in the water. But i thought polo was that game on horses with the hockey sticks?

yes it is i wish it wasnt called water polo I get guys asking me what kind o horse you riding on in the water. It is like a mix of most sports. The rules kinda resemble hockey bit and the positioning resembles basketball a bit. You have to play it to get it. You cant just watch a game lol.

I watched it during the olypics. Was entertaining...and couldn't believe the nastiness that went on...especially the women. Even a couple cases of having their swim suits ripped off each other. Nasty Nasty! ;-)

You've got to be in some damn good shape to play water polo....I've seen them play in the Olympics - I'd get tired after a quick swim to the other side of the pool
