It is a violent sport and they should not be calling everything. In Serbia, there is no call unless you lose your leg. 🙂
By the way, in light of “Serbian Day on SwimSwam” – USA national waterpolo coach is a Serb, Dejan Udovicic.
I played the game. Water polo has a better chance becoming more a mainstream sport IF they can fix the fouling & turn-over rules. The referee blows the blasted whistle non-stop! The average spectator doesn’t know what the heck is going on. Super annoying.
