I'm worn out and I have a busy weekend ahead.
If you have been following the Kick This! Twitter feed , you know that we have Matthew Delicate and U.S. Soccer Director of Referee Development Paul Tamberino lined up for the show's second hour, I'm working on getting Ross Smith on in the second hour, and we hope to have Darren Kenton, Brent Sancho, and Scott Vallow on in hour #1.
It's always fun when you get a no can do email Friday afternoon.....
News & Notes:
