As FC Dallas sets out to defend their Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title against Wednesday at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, they should first know a thing or two about their USL opponents Tulsa Roughnecks FC.
Tulsa Roughnecks FC is an Oklahoma-based club currently playing in the USL. The Roughnecks, at the moment, sit eighth in the Western Conference standings, a position that ensures playoff soccer at the end of the season.
The club was founded in 2013 and has spent three seasons in the United States’ second division. In 2015, Tulsa finished seventh in the Western Conference, which was not enough at the time to make the playoffs.
