JUPITER (CBSMiami) -- Soccer is much more than just a game to many of the people who play it. It's a culture, a bonding comradeship that unites people of all different backgrounds.
You need look no further than town of Jupiter, Florida where the game has brought a community of hard-working, low income workers together, uniting under the borderless banner of the game they hold so dear.
