So happy to see this thread bumped up!!!

I''m an idiot, and don''t know how to post a link, but some of my students are on the cover of the New York Times online!!!

If you care to check it out it''s called: Refugees Find Hostility and Hope on Soccer Field

The article is kind of long, but I''m so thrilled about it. My students'' lives are so amazingly difficult!

OMG THat Mayor sounds like a total A$$hole!!! Go Soccer!! THE ORIGINAL FOOTBALL!!!! Soccer is going to happen in the US. Perhaps the US needs some sort of "celebrity" to just start it. Looks like Beckm is giving it the old college try.

I know a coupla soccer teams here in NC that would LOVE to play with these guys!!!! Both girls and boys team. Soccer is a good sport. Tell your kids that there is an entire league and team behind them just a few states away. STAY STRONG!!! and tell them to give them "GIVE EM HECK ON THE PITCH"
