Wondo Talks World Cup, Native Heritage With Student Reporter
Indian Country Today News Media, July 2014
I hear the almost-still wind of a sunny California day, the thud of soccer balls hitting the back of the net, the echoes of players celebrating goals. Chris Wondolowski, known as “Wondo” by fans and teammates alike, is one of the last players to walk off the field after wrapping up a recent late morning practice with the San Jose Earthquakes, the local Major League Soccer team. I’m here to grab an interview with one of the best-known athletes in Indian country, the Kiowa man who helped stir up the whole country on the United States’ national soccer team’s recent run in the World Cup.
