A group of refugees, aged late teens to early 20-s,from the Bantu Tribe of Somalia who have relocated in Milwaukee have formed a soccer team called the Bantu-Somali Young Brothers.

The Young Brothers have been very successful in an indoor league, and their success is helping them adjust to life in the USA.

Man, this is supposed to be rough for them when the winter comes around. I am stillstruggling with adjusting to the winter after almost twenty years in this country.

For the Record....They are playing INDOORS.

Uihlein Soccer Park, located 3 milesup the street from my house, was the home of the Milwaukee Rampage, has about a dozen outdoor fields, including a 7,000 seat stadium, a 2,000 seat stadium,and also has a huge indoor facility with 3 fields.
