Great piece Dave. I hope this is the sort of stuff that will come out of your new studies. It is interesting and very down to earth. Well done.

in the salt lake valley of utah, we have a lot more immigrants, and more caucasians playing (like myself) but a lot of what was in this article rang true to me. we play about 500 feet away from the football stadium on the very far corner of the school campus, our soccer team is about 1/2 mexican and 1/2 white with a few other mixed in (fijian, multi-cultural, and other latin american countries). some teams we play have very few mexican/latin players (those in richer neighborhoods) and some have few caucasian (those in less rich neighborhoods). also the language barrier is a big problem but all the caucasians learn the words (i.e. passala, medio, aqui) but soccer is still a minor sport and only participated in by a small fraction of the school, however its growing, and some of the varsity football, basketball, etc. players are trying out for the soccer team (whether or not they do try-out, do have skills, or are doing it seriously is up to debate).

Am co-authoring a book on the history of Greek-Australian soccer clubs and briefly explore immigration and settlement of Greeks to Australia. Our other subthemes are language, identity etc. Look forward to hearing from you and maybe we can exchange a few ideas. Feel free to email me.
