Chartiers Valley 7th grader selected for international tour By: Greg Macafee Thursday, February 27, 2020 Oakdale resident John Krug was selected to play for the US Club Soccer 2020 id2 National Selection boys team. Suzanne and Brian Krug remember when their son John was just a young boy. They would take him to his older brother’s soccer game and while Joseph was playing on the field, John would play in the sand or occupy his attention in other ways — anything that wasn’t soccer. “John just didn’t have any interest,” Suzanne said. “He would be playing in the sand box area the entire time. Then, one day when he was old enough, all of a sudden he said he wanted to play.” Now, as a 13-year-old seventh-grader at Chartiers Valley, that same kid has received an opportunity to travel to England to play the sport he once didn’t want anything to do with. Earlier this month, John received an invitation to play for U.S. Soccer’s 2020 id2 National Selection International Tour
