Snippet:
In the barber shops and cafes of Little Senegal, the West African enclave stretching along 116th Street in New York City's Harlem, big screens glow with football matches, flags drape from walls, and nearly every conversation finds its way back to the upcoming clash between France and Senegal. Every third or fourth storefront displays Senegal's green-and-white football shirts, hanging prominently in windows and doorways.
