Last June my wife and I were travelling from Paris to Madrid when we talked with a young man Oscar who was in New York on a soccer scholarship at the New York Institute of Technology.

My daughter and her husband saw this show on television in Madrid and forwarded the information. Oscar is in show from minute 18 to minute 24. Enjoy the show.

That show , Jim , is very popular here . I love it . Also " Callejeros " ... The director ( I can´t remember her name ) just won a prestigious award here . The show basically travels around Spain but deals with real people . It´s an amazing eye-opener on life here in España ... from the rich living in mansions to the gypsies living in poverty ... The style of reporting is first class !! Look it up on youTube .
It seems soccer's getting a bit of a foothold now in the US ( ? ) . After Beckham left to go to Italy , I thought that maybe there would be a backlash of public opinion . When I was last in New York City ( a few years ago ) I heard lots of young kids discussing soccer ! And in Canada my friend´s nephews and their friends talk about soccer all the time .. AND it´s taught at school .
American football is popular in the UK , but really only to watch .. not to play ... we prefer rugby .

indeed i see on satellite tv all the time, TVE and also TeleMadrid has a similar one. GReat stories

"Madrileños en el Mundo" won some kind of national award (or was it "Españoles en el Mundo"? Now I don't recall) this past year.

WE LOVE Espanoles en el Mundo! I want them to come to SD and have the hubby on the show! There are many, many Spaniards in SD that they could interview!!!
