- Badji is back in Senegal finalizing his green card
Lousy timing, what with the Rocky Mountain Cup this week, but the government offices involve set the timing and the Rapids have no control. He's not expected to make it back in time for Saturday's game. On the plus side, we have 2 international slots open now.
- Rapids will play the USL's Tulsa Roughnecks FC in a friendly Sept. 1st in Memphos
This is a kickoff event for Memphis' USL team that will start play next season. Since they were announced in January Tim Howard, a Memphis resident in the offseason, has been a special adviser to the team. They'll be unveiling the team logo and such as part of the event. The Rapids were invited, obviously, because of Howard and will presumably be getting paid for the appearance. I'm not sure why Tulsa was invited, unless they just happen to be one of the USL teams that have a bye that weekend (the Rapids have a bye because its an international weekend).
