        <div  class="newsletter-txt">In  the  1960s,  missionaries  from  such  foreign  places  as  Greece  and  England  and  South  America  and  New  York  City  landed  on  Springfield's  barbarian  shore.  They  introduced  to  the  natives  a  new  gospel  that  had  conquered  the  rest  of  the  world  –  soccer.  Some  had  been  players  at  home,  others  just  fans,  but  all  loved  the  game  and  like  all  enthusiasts  wanted  everyone  in  their  adopted  home  to  love  it  too.</div>
