Wednesday Night Kicks
Because my e-mail in-box is clogged, I give you:
*Word that San Pedro's Carlos Martinez (Wilmington Jr.) and Fontana's Victor Chavez were selected to the U.S. Under-17 team that will play in the World Cup for the age group later this month in Nigeria. Full squad and schedule here.
*A Q&A with Robbie Rogers of Rolling Hills Estates in the wake of his World Cup qualifying performance here.
*News that Fontana's Maurice Edu was a victim of racism - by fans of his own club Glasgow Rangers. Classy. And he reported the incident via Twitter.
