Watched it a couple of times, but NEVER realized that

 

Thanks a lot. so basically the most important rules to know for a layman is the goal can not be scored from outside the goal circle (or however it is called) and you have to play the ball only by stick and only with the flat side. I learned the first one thanks re-watchin Rio replays  

 

Looks like a nice sport, pity I don´t have too much chances to watch it

And don't you dare touch the ball with your feet/lower legs, even if someone absolutely rams it against you it's still your fault

We were so close !

We have suffered a lot and we have not played better than France, but we have qualified!!! 

 

The French team has played very well and it is a pity not to see them in Tokyo, but I am sure that for Paris 2024 they will have a very strong squad.

Too bad. I think France would have qualified vs New Zealand, Canada or maybe even GB. 

 

2024 it will be.
