Default Ignorant American question about European sports...

So I am watching TV and there is this commercial for Guiness beer and it's got this sport that I don't recognize. The dude has a stick with a little basket on the end, but it's not lacrosse I don't think. At least it doesn't look like the lacrosse I have eseen on ESPN2. The stick is thicker, like an american baseball bat, and the basket is smaller and the ball looks like an american baseball. The guy is standing a few yards, meters ? , from what looks like a soccer, sorry football , goal and several guys from the other team are standing in the goal trying to block his shot. He picks the ball up with the basket and flips it in the air and then hits it like a baseball towards the goal.

What is this sport? It looks very rough. Like rugby, but with sticks so you can to beat each other too.
