Video of the Day: 'Wild Ball' on the streets of Shanghai
Renting fields costs too much money, so where so Shanghai's young soccer players take their game? To the streets, of course (and subway stations and even subway cars). They call it "wild ball" or "street soccer." This is a well made video with English subtitles, a nice introduction to this unique spin on Shanghai street culture. The guys featured in the clip also have a website: streetsoccer.com.cn.
