That’s it. Ball control. If the stick is on the ball then it’s harder to dispossess as if you hit the stick first when tackling, it’s a free. Or more often than not if the umpire hears the sounds of sticks clashing ,they blow free even if the player got the ball first.
The balls are quiet chunky and heavy so it’s easier push it off the stick rather than clan strike it.

Very soft penalty there for the Dutch.
4-0 to the Dutch in the end. The little orange rides.
Ireland fail to beat Spain.
Assume we were brave and gave it everything
The 4 proud provinces.

Ze Germans dominating the show against our girls here
Edged out 2-1 by Great Britain - what a pile of wank.
Who do the Ulster girls play for in this sort of situation?
They are like the rugby and athletics.
I’ve no idea why the soccer split.
The rugby are all Great Britain though.
Athletics I suppose you choose, but when it comes to this they can go either way due to Olympics
Can play with both. It’s happened on the men’s side.
Gleghorne ,Sloan and Ames made the switch. They’d to sit out for 3 years because they’d caps for us.
There was high profile one recently. Gonzalo Peillat is one of the best drag flickers in the world. Played with Argentina, then fell out with management. Sat out for 3 years, now plays with the Germans

We’re a strange little country in many ways
The men are half way there but living on a prayer
The drag flick.
Not like the Brick flick.
