Call-Ups!

I should have gotten to this earlier but so be it.  During this international break the Rapids have three players out on various National Team duties.

Moise Bombito - Called up for the Canadian National Team in their warm-ups for the upcoming Copa America.  He got the start today against the Netherlands and was named player of the match, despite Canada losing 4-0.  I think its safe to assume he'll be on the Cope roster that starts in two weeks.

Cole Bassett - The first-half team MVP was called up to the Olympic team for their game against Japan on Tuesday in KC.  This is a great indicator that Bassett might make the trip to Paris next month, which means losing him for the Leagues Cup and probably a couple of games before that break (which, annoyingly, includes the final Rocky Mountain Cup match of the season).

Adam Beaudry - The homegrown goalkeeper is currently at the U-19 camp in South America where the team will play Argentina tomorrow and Uruguay on Tuesday.  This is a prep camp for the CONCACAF U-20 championship later this summer, where the top 4 teams will qualify for next year's U-20 World Cup in Chile.

All three of these players will likely miss more time this summer with their national teams.  That means more playing time for Lalas Abubakar and probably Connor Ronan, and we have to hope Steffen doesn't get injured.
