Much of soccer culture in the United States remains hidden, but matches such as the 28 Jul 07 Copa Amistad between the Atlanta Silverbacks and Cruz Azul cast light on the place of the sport in everyday lives of Latinos. Will Ramirez, publisher of Estadio, a Spanish-language sports weekly based in Tucker, Georgia, describes in our 24 Jul 07 podcast how he and many of the 425,000 Hispanics in the Atlanta area remain linked to soccer despite, or because of, displacement. Also joining us is Silverbacks owner Boris Jerkunica (left).
