The Midweek

Brian Ching
Finally getting a chance to see some action. The local boy came on as a sub against LA Galaxy in Houston's 2-1 win at the Home Depot Center. The announcers made a special point of mentioning that Ching is MLS's only Hawaiian. Interesting. I guess no one counts Duke Hashimoto (although yes, true enough he hasn't appeared in a pro game yet...)

Natasha Kai
Hopefuly playing today verses Mexico. Considering the great pace and accurate shooting shje has displayed against some, occasionally less than adequate opposition, it would be great to see her in action against the Southern Devil.

While I am sure she wants to carve outr her place on the international scence, I am also sure that she can't wait to continue her new career coaching girls high school soccer for the Kahuku Red Raiders.

Hawaiian Soccer Factory
While talking about Brian Ching and in recent news articles about Natasha Kai, reporters have been mentioning Hawaii as an untapped source of raw soccer talent. While none of them seem to have any insight, they have all heard rumors and of course wondered who will be the state's next big export. So far the state's only national caps have come from strikers.

Other news to be added later... the game is on....
