That clip was made by two young American players, Paralympian Josh Sundquist and Robert Spotswood. One correction though, the game is not of El Salvadorean origin. It was invented and developed by Mr. Don Bennett of Seattle, Washington, USA, in 1980. http://www.ampsoccer.org/history.htm The El Salvadoreans entered the game in 1984 and became World Champions. One player even had a postage stamp struck in his honor. Thanks again for helping make folks aware of our great game.
