Powered by the iPad, iPad 2 or iPad 3rd generation, you can work your pull, snake, bank and bread and butter shots, fake out your opponent and deliver the ball into the goal with a resounding "thunk", all on a table top foosball dock for your iPad. Just like real tournament tables, Classic Match Foosball brings the complete foosball experience to your iPad.

KISS Footballers & Other Custom Kickers For Foosball Tables

I'm not sure whether or not the rock group KISS are big soccer players - or even foosball (table football) fans, but I came across these hilarious custom 'footballers' on Vinçon, the design store in Spain. Each is made of aluminum and hand painted and costs around 42 euros a piece.

In addition to Gene Simmons, Ace Freeley, Paul Stanley and Peter Criss as possible goalies, center forwards, wings, or whatever position you please, they sell many others. Gigolos, business men, punks, glamour gals, even a dominatrix can replace your boring little men on your foosball (or football) tables.

Product Pick Of The Week: The Good Vs. Evil Foosball Table

I really never thought of Foosball as a high-end sport. My personal Foosball experience consists of seeing a Foosball table grace the main room of every fraternity house at UC Berkeley, the rec rooms of most families in Marin County (where I grew up) and got lots of recognition as a staple in Joey and Chandler's kitchen on the ever popular sitcom, Friends.



But Eleven Forty doesn't make ordinary Foosball tables. Uh uh. They have created The Opus. Every detail is thought out. Each table is hand crafted with etched glass, stainless steel and assorted exotic woods. Utilizing computer technology, precision engineering and innovative construction, it has transformed a recreational game into a piece of functional art.



Here are a few pics of the hand crafted details:








Now, as if it weren't enough to create such a beautiful 'game', as an owner you are treated to amazing service from Forty Eleven.
