About that soccer interest conversation...

I used to interpret for the Hispanic Soccer League of Philadelphia. I didnīt interpret for the latinos that played in the 25-some team league, but rather, interpreted the weekly Spanish language meetings for the Jamaicans, Greeks and Poles who all had teams playing in the Hispanic League (go figure).

The Hispanic Soccer League of Philadelphia was very interesting..during the spring and summer months it took over one of the overgrown fields in N. Philadelphia and during the winter months ran an indoor soccer league that played in a gym at 10th and Bainbridge.

Soccer is a huge sport in the USA. While its popularity may not be measured by the professional teams, just take a look at all the neighborhood teams and school leagues that have sprung up over the past 5 or so years.... laugh
