Celebrating soccer in the Latino community

Across the world it is known as futbol or, the beautiful game. Here in the states, we call it by another name – soccer. While the globe is focused on the World Cup, we’re shining a light on what the game means to our local Latino communities. We’ll talk with fans, enthusiasts and players about the game that brings people together.

But first, we respond to listener comments and questions in @Us.
