Sporting KC Game Notes | March 10, 2019 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvPHI: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvPHI: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City returns to MLS action this weekend when the side takes on the Philadelphia Union in the club’s MLS home opener at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday afternoon. Sporting KC and Philadelphia both dropped their season openers over the past weekend and will be looking to put their first points of the 2019 season on the board.

In 2018, Sporting KC fell to a 2-0 defeat at Talen Energy Stadium in the only meeting between the two sides on Sept. 23. Following a goalless first half, English striker Jay Simpson scored a second-half brace to condemn Sporting to their final regular-season defeat of the season, as the side went 3-0-2 following that defeat to finish out the campaign.

Sporting KC last hosted the Union on July 6, 2017, playing to a 1-1 draw at Children’s Mercy Park. Diego Rubio scored his first goal after returning from a torn ACL early in the second half, before Benny Feilhaber brought down former teammate C.J. Sapong in the area. Roland Alberg stepped up to convert the spot kick in the 69th minute to tie the game up.

Sporting KC is 3-2-2 all-time at home against Philadelphia, but has won just one of their last seven meetings with the Union - a dramatic 3-2 victory at Children’s Mercy Park on April 5, 2015 when Jalil Anibaba and Krisztian nemeth each scored in stoppage time to erase a one-goal deficit.

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 10, 2019 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes FINALLY HOME

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES DAY OF FIRSTS

After a whirlwind 18-day period that saw Sporting Kansas City travel just under 10,000 miles, the side finally returns home this weekend when the side takes on the Philadelphia Union at Children’s Mercy Park on Sunday at 2 p.m. CT. The game marks the club’s MLS home opener, having already played one home match in the Concacaf Champions League against Toluca FC in the Round of 16 on February 21.

While Sporting KC fell to Club Atletico Independiente on Wednesday night by a 2-1 scoreline in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals First Leg, the club did experience a variety of firsts on the night.

Firstly, defender Rodney Wallace made his debut for the club with his start at left back.

Wallace joined the club as a free agent following two seasons with New York City FC. Additionally, fellow newcomers Botond Barath, Kelyn Rowe and Erik Hurtado all made their first starts for the club, having debuted in previous matches off the bench earlier this season.

Sporting are 13-3-7 all-time in MLS home openers, including a 2-1-5 record at Children’s Mercy Park since the stadium opened in the middle of 2011. The only loss in a home opener at Children’s Mercy Park came in 2018, when Sporting KC fell to a 2-0 defeat against New York City FC on March 4, 2018. Sporting’s only other home-opening defeats in MLS play came in 1999 (Chicago Fire) and 2009 (Toronto FC).

Goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, Academy products Gianluca Busio and Jaylin Lindsey, and midfielder Yohan Croizet all made their first appearances of the 2019 campaign as well.

Sporting KC has enjoyed a strong home record over the past few seasons. In 2018, Sporting went 10-2-5 at Children’s Mercy Park in the regular season, and 12-3-5 in all competitions when you include one U.S. Open Cup match and two games in the MLS Cup Playoffs. In 2017, the side went 10-1-6 at home in the regular season and saw a 24-game home unbeaten streak come to an end that dated back to mid-2016. Overall, since moving into Children’s Mercy Park, Sporting KC has a 98-30-43 record in all competitions at home.

By taking on a Panamanian side for the first time, Sporting KC also added to their tally of countries of opponents faced outside the U.S. and Canada, with Independiente and Panama marking the eighth nation that Sporting KC has faced in competitive international competition, going along with Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Trinidad & Tobago, Ecuador, Honduras and Peru.

SPORTING KC HOSTS FAN APPRECIATION MATCH

Sporting KC will now face a Philadelphia Union side that dropped their own home opener last Saturday with a 3-1 defeat against Toronto FC at Talen Energy Stadium.

Sporting last hosted the Union in 2017, playing to a 1-1 draw following Diego Rubio’s stunning strike for the home side and Roland Alberg’s penalty kick for the visitors following Benny Feilhaber’s foul on former Sporting KC striker C.J. Sapong. The Union took last season’s clash at Talen Energy Stadium by a 2-0 scoreline following Jay Simpson’s second-half brace.

In a reverse of a typical season, Sporting Kansas City is opening its MLS slate in 2019 with Fan Appreciation Match. Features on the day include prize giveaways, gift cards, social media giveaways, free popcorn, a fan-curated playlist, free fan photos and magnetic schedule giveaways.

All supporters in attendance are encouraged to download or update the new Sporting KC App, available for free on the App Store and Google Play, and participate in the Digital Trivia Game during halftime of Sunday’s match. Follow the easy steps in the graphic to the right to play along.

UNCIVIL UNION

Sporting Kansas City is set to take on the Philadelphia Union for the 17th time in the MLS regular season this Sunday at Children’s Mercy Park in the side’s MLS home opener. Sporting KC is 5-6-5 all-time against Philadelphia since the Union joined MLS as an expansion team in 2010.

This trivia contest will see literally every participant walk away from the stadium with a prize. Among the stellar grand prizes are VIP experiences, Sporting tailgate equipment, yeti coolers, team-signed memorabilia, gift cards, Sporting-branded longboards and much more. In addition, all supporters who buy a new Sporting KC primary jersey (including those who have placed pre-orders on SportingStyle.com) will receive a $20 SportingStyle gift card as part of their purchase.

In the only meeting between the cross-conference foes in 2018, Sporting KC fell to a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Talen Energy Stadium behind Jay Simpson’s second-half double on Sept. 23, 2018. That loss marked the last regular-season defeat of the season for Sporting, who closed out the 2018 campaign with a 3-0-2 record over their final five matches.

ILIE SCORES CRUCIAL GOAL FROM THE SPOT

When Ilie Sanchez smashed home a second-half penalty kick in the 2-1 loss to Club Atletico Independiente in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals First Leg, it put Sporting Kansas City in a promising position to advance during next week’s decisive Second Leg at Children’s Mercy Park.

In their most recent visit to Children’s Mercy Park, the Union snuck away with a point following a 1-1 draw on July 6, 2017. Diego Rubio’s stunner gave Sporting an early second-half lead, but Roland Alberg converted a penalty kick after former Sporting KC forward C.J. Sapong was brought down by Benny Feilhaber in the area.

Across both international competition and the MLS Cup Playoffs, Sporting is 7-3 in twolegged series when they score at least one away goal. The first losing instance came when Kansas City suffered an insurmountable 6-1 first-leg loss at Morelia in the 2002 Concacaf Champions’ Cup. The second such loss resulted from a 2-1 road defeat to Deportivo Saprissa following a scoreless first leg at home in 2005. The third occurred in the 2014 Champions League Quarterfinals when Cruz Azul claimed a 5-1 home win in the second leg to prevail 5-2 on aggregate.

Sporting KC has only beaten the Union once in their last seven tries - an epic 3-2 home victory on April 5, 2015, when Jalil Anibaba and Krisztian Nemeth both scored in stoppage time to reverse a one-goal deficit and give Sporting all three points on a dramatic night at Children’s Mercy Park.

CONGESTION CHARGE

Getting even deeper into the stat: Sporting is 6-1 in two-legged series in which they grab an away goal in the first leg. Aforementioned Morelia delivered the only such defeat, leaving Kansas City too much to overcome with their five-goal triumph on Mexican soil in 2002.

While racking up the travel miles, Sporting Kansas City has also been racking up the miles on the legs of its squad in the early part of the 2019 season. Starting with the February 21 match against Toluca in the Concacaf Champions League Round of 16, the side has already played four games in the space of 13 days, and will have played seven in the space of 24 days following next weekend’s road match against the Colorado Rapids.

Sporting KC knows a 1-0 victory, or any victory by multiple goals will see the side advance to the Champions League Semifinals to face Monterrey or Atlanta United.

Sporting KC rolled out an unchanged lineup in the first three games of the season: both legs against Toluca in the Champions League and the MLS opener against LAFC at Banc of California Stadium. Heading into the Champions League Quarterfinals First Leg against Panamanian side Independiente, Peter Vermes made eight changes to his team, giving starts to goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, defenders Jaylin Lindsey, Botond Barath and Rodney Wallace, midfielders Kelyn Rowe and Yohan Croizet, and forwards Erik Hurtado and Daniel Salloi.

KC KICKS OFF FINAL PHASE OF 2026 WORLD CUP BIDDING

On Thursday, the Kansas City 2026 FIFA World Cup™ Bid Executive Committee officially kicked off the final phase of bidding to be named one of 10 United States host cities for the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, the world’s largest single sport event.

When Sporting KC faced Toluca, Los Angeles FC and Independiente all on the road in the space of a week, it marked the third time in club history that the side has played three road games in the space of a week, and first time ever with three road games in a week with at least one outside of the country.

Kansas City is one of 17 U.S. cities currently in contention to be named a Host City, a decision that is targeted to be made in late 2020. Each U.S. Host City anticipates hosting between 5-7 matches, which is estimated to generate up to $620 million in incremental economic activity according to a 2018 study done by leading global management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group. A powerhouse group of Kansas City leaders have united to form the KC 2026 Bid Executive Committee.

In the current seven-game stretch, Sporting KC will have played in all four continental U.S. time zones: Central Time: Feb. 21 vs. Toluca, Feb. 28 at Toluca, March 10 vs.

Philadelphia, March 14 vs. Independiente. Pacific Time: March 3 at LAFC. Eastern Time: March 6 at Independiente. Mountain Time: March 17 at Colorado Rapids.

The KC 2026 Bid Executive Committee consists of 11 prominent Kansas City figures, including Sporting KC Principal Owner Cliff Illig and President & CEO Jake Reid, along with Kansas City Chiefs Chairman & CEO Clark Hunt, while veteran sports executive David Ficklin has been named Executive Director of the KC 2026 Bid.

GLOBE TROTTING

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

As Sporting Kansas City finally returns home from Panama after taking on Club Atletico Independiente in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals on Wednesday, the club wrapped up an unprecedented road trip that saw the side play in three countries and cover nearly 10,000 air miles in an 18-day span.

The United Bid of Canada, Mexico, and the United States was selected to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 by the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow.

Kansas City is one of 23 Candidate Host Cities in the United Bid. The vote, which occurred a day before the start of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, also marks the first time three nations have been selected to co-host a FIFA World Cup and the first time the FIFA World Cup will be played in North America in 32 years. The United Bid offers FIFA and its 211 Member Associations unity, certainty, and opportunity as they prepare to host the largest FIFA World Cup in history.

During that stretch, Sporting spent just four full days in Kansas City and played four competitive matches in three different times zones, three of which took place away from home, each in a different country. The wild travel schedule amounted to six separate flights and approximately 9,760 miles.

With the FIFA Congress decision to award the 2026 FIFA World Cup, to the federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, the three nations will jointly manage preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup until FIFA establishes their operations to manage the competition. Among other decisions, FIFA will make the final selection of host cities for the 2026 competition from the 23 candidates proposed in the United Bid. Each of the United Bid’s 23 proposed stadiums are fully built, occupied and operational, ensuring long-term use following the 2026 World Cup. The United Bid has 150 existing world-class training facilities, millions of hotel rooms, and advanced infrastructure. The United Bid is expected to generate more than $14 billion in revenue and $11 billion in profits for FIFA, which will be shared with the 211 FIFA Member Associations, helping further develop and expand the game of football across the globe.

Sporting have played three away games in a seven-day period just twice previously, in 1999 and 2006. Neither road trip required SKC to leave the country, let alone do it twice.

RECORD-SETTING 2018

Sporting Kansas City enjoyed a historic 2018 season that saw the club set new records in multiple attacking categories. Most notably, the club shattered the franchise’s all-time goalscoring record by tallying 65 goals in 34 games, eclipsing the 61 goals the then Kansas City Wizards tallied in their inaugural season in 1996.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

In 2018, Sporting KC continued its impressive streak of postseason appearances, becoming just the sixth club in MLS history to make at least eight straight trips to the MLS Cup Playoffs, while Manager Peter Vermes is now just the third coach to lead the same team to eight straight playoff appearances.

As well as their overall goalscoring exploits, Sporting Kansas City also set new club records in five other offensive categories: Road Goals (31), Goal Difference (+25), Assists (69), Shots (583) and Corner Kicks (206).

Peter Vermes’ side also found multiple goals in 25 of the club’s 40 matches in all competitions last season and was only shutout seven times. Sporting KC finished the regular season as the fourth highest scoring team in MLS with 65 goals, while the side scored 79 goals when including the MLS Cup Playoffs and U.S. Open Cup play.

Sporting had 16 different goalscorers last year in MLS play - which was tied for the second highest number of goalscorers across a single squad this season. In 2018, SKC found goals from Daniel Salloi (14), Johnny Russell (10), Diego Rubio (10), Felipe Gutierrez (7), Gerso Fernandes (6), Ilie Sanchez (5), Ike Opara (3), Yohan Croizet (3), Roger Espinoza (3), Khiry Shelton (2), Graham Zusi (2), Jimmy Medranda (2), Cristian Lobato (2), Wan Kuzain Wan Kamal (1), Krisztian Nemeth (1) and Gianluca Busio (1).

The 6-0 triumph over Vancouver Whitecaps FC on April 20, 2018 tied club records for largest margin of victory and most goals scored in a competitive match. Sporting KC finished the year with 65 goals in 34 regular-season matches, having scored 40 in all of 2017. The last time Sporting KC hit six goals in an MLS match was on June 20, 1999.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

VERMES VERBATIM

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to achieve more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019. The task begins with the Concacaf Champions League, which began at the end of February, before MLS play begins in March and U.S. Open Cup action starts later in the year.

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-1 defeat against Club Atletico Independiente in the Concacaf Champions League Quarterfinals First Leg on Wednesday, March 6.

Thoughts on how the team played: “I thought that we gave the ball away too much in the game which led to a lot of counters for them. I would sum it up by saying that that’s the number one thing – I just really think that we gave the ball away way, way too much tonight. That would be my biggest thing.”

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently coaching a team in Major League Soccer, having been in charge of Sporting KC since 2009 - one year longer than Ben Olsen has been at the helm at D.C. United. Vermes became the longest tenured coach in MLS when then LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena took the USMNT job in late 2016.

On dealing with Independiente’s counter-attacking quality: “We did not move well off the ball. It was between the guy who had the ball and one other player and the rest of the guys weren’t moving to the ball. So what happened is we weren’t fast enough with the ball, we were too slow, and all those things caused us to lose the ball in really bad places – we were opened up – we just kept losing the ball.”

Vermes has guided Sporting KC to four titles under his watch, winning three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups in 2012, 2015 and 2017, and the MLS Cup in 2013. His trophy haul ranks as the second highest among active MLS coaches - only trailing Toronto FC’s Greg Vanney’s five championships. On a local level, Vermes’ 11 years with SKC is the second longest tenure by a head coach in the history of major KC professional sports behind Super Bowl champion and Pro Football Hall of Famer Hank Stram, who was Chiefs head coach from 1963-1974.

On knowing that a good result at home in the Second Leg would see the side advance: “It was good to get the away goal and keep the scoreline the way we did, so now we have to obviously do the business at home and that’s Champions League. That’s just the way it is. Based on the fact that I don’t that we played all that well, it leaves us in a better position than not having scored here.”

Vermes has compiled a 167-118-94 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-6-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 133 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

On any miscommunication around the goals conceded: “It’s not a communication thing, it’s a simple concept. If a guy kicks off the back line, you step on the player. It’s what you do, you don’t have to win the ball but you also don’t give him the space to turn and run at you, and we did that.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | March 10, 2019 vs. Philadelphia Union | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes Manager | Peter Vermes

Assistant Coach | Kerry Zavagnin Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin first joined Kansas City in 2000 as a holding midfielder and was an integral part of the club’s midfield for the next nine seasons, during which time he helped lead the Wizards to MLS Cup (2000) and U.S. Open Cup (2004) Championships. He was named to the MLS All-Star team and the Best XI in 2004. Zavagnin’s primary duties as an assistant include scouting, developing Sporting Kansas City’s younger players, breaking down film and assisting with training sessions, among others.

Peter Vermes is entering his 11th season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2019 and is the longest-tenured active head coach in MLS. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 167 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won four major trophies – the 2012, 2015 and 2017 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cups and the 2013 MLS Cup championship – and finished atop the Eastern Conference regular-season standings in 2011 and 2012, as well as the Western Conference in 2018. His three U.S. Open Cup championships are the third most in Open Cup history. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to eight straight postseason appearances, as well as the only person to ever win the MLS Cup as both a player and a coach with the same team. His 133 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank fifth most in MLS history. He passed his former coach Bob Gansler as the winningest manager in team history with a 3-1 win over Real Salt Lake on Aug. 12, 2015, his 109th victory in all competitions.

He started his professional career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, where he played in 39 games over two seasons. After spending one season with the Lehigh Valley Steam (USL-1), Zavagnin came to Kansas City in 2000. He played 237 games (228 starts) and logged 20,516 minutes for Kansas City, setting team records in both categories before both were overtaken by Matt Besler early in 2018. He scored eight goals and added 22 assists in his nine seasons in Kansas City blue. Zavagnin was named Team Defender of the Year in 2001.

On August 4, 2018, Vermes coached his 302nd MLS regular-season game with Sporting KC, becoming the league’s all-time leader in games coached for one club. He was named the first-ever Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 379 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.

On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States Men’s National Team. He recorded one assist for the U.S., who went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin featured. He married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season, when he became an assistant coach at the club.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL) and the Sporting KC Academy. Vermes entered MLS ahead of its inaugural season in 1996 and retired from the league in 2002, closing out his playing career in Kansas City after stints with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and Colorado Rapids.

Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic Assistant Coach Zoran Savic joined Sporting Kansas City late in the 2009 season after a 30-year career at all levels of the game in the United States.

A native of Gornji Milanovac, Yugoslavia, Savic began his journey through American soccer with the Buffalo Stallions of the Major Indoor Soccer League in 1980. Savic would go on to star for several MISL teams, with his most prosperous period coming with the Kansas City Comets, with whom he scored 70 goals in just over 100 appearances from 1982-1984.

Following a standout high school career in which he was named New Jersey Player of the Year, Vermes was a star forward and All-American at Rutgers University. After college, Vermes represented the United States in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea, and was named 1988 Chevrolet U.S. Male Soccer Athlete of the Year for his efforts.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored a sensational goal against the host Azzurri. It was the first time the U.S. had qualified for the World Cup in 40 years and set the stage for the progress of the U.S. National Team. In 1989 and 1990, Vermes became the first American to play in the Hungarian and Dutch First Divisions, playing for Raba ETO and FC Volendam, respectively. He later spent five years with Figueras of the Spanish Second Division.

After retiring as a player in 1991, Savic turned his attention to coaching in the indoor game. Savic led the Kansas City Attack from 1992-1996, winning Coach of the Year honors for the 1994-1995 season while also serving as the team’s General Manager. Savic later coached the Kansas City Comets from 2000-2005.

In 2007 Savic switched to the outdoor game, joining Chivas USA as an assistant to then-head coach Preki before moving into the commentary booth for Kansas City matches in 2008 and 2009. Savic’s career as a commentator was cut short, however, when newly installed Manager Peter Vermes tabbed Savic to be part of his coaching staff late in the 2009 season.

For MLS’s inaugural season in 1996, Vermes served as captain of the New York/New Jersey MetroStars. In 1997, he was traded to the Colorado Rapids for current Sporting KC Assistant Coach Kerry Zavagnin and played in Denver through the 1999 season, leading the Rapids to the 1997 MLS Cup Final.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty

Vermes joined Kansas City in 2000 for what would be the most successful seasons of his MLS career. During his first year in Kansas City, he anchored one of the best defenses in league history and won MLS Defender of the Year honors in helping lead the Wizards to the 2000 MLS Cup Championship. He retired in 2002 after appearing in 209 MLS matches (including playoffs) and playing more than 18,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

He made an emphatic impact in the tournament’s preliminary round, scoring a hat-trick of headed goals in APR’s 4-1 second-leg victory over Mbabane Swallows to secure a 4-2 aggregate win.

Rwatubyaye has 22 caps for Rwanda and also represented his country at the U-17, U-20, U-23 and senior levels.

CLUB SNAPSHOTS

NOTES TO KNOW UNION COMPLETE LOAN ACQUISITION OF MIDFIELDER JAMIRO MONTEIRO Philadelphia Union announced earlier this week that the club has acquired Dutch-born Cape Verdean midfielder Jamiro Monteiro (pronounced: Juh-MEER-o Mahn-TEHR-o) from French club FC Metz ... the deal is structured as a four-month loan through June including a Union option to both extend the loan through the 2019 MLS season as well as an additional Union option to then buy ... Targeted Allocation Money was used as part of the transaction ... Monteiro will be added to the Union’s active roster following receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and P1 Visa and will occupy an international roster slot.

ANDRE BLAKE APPROACHING SEVERAL MILESTONES Union goalkeeper Andre Blake looks poised to hit one milestone in this match vs. Sporting Kansas City as he approaches another simultaneously ... Blake is sitting at 99 career MLS regular-season starts and appearances and will hit 100 should he start and/or play in this contest ... Blake is also approaching the all-time team record in both categories as Zac MacMath has 103 appearances and 102 starts for the Union ... he would become the 39th all-time goalkeeper to start 100 league games as well as the fifth to do so while only appearing for one MLS club (Luis Robles, Bill Hamid, Evan Bush, Jimmy Nielsen) ... meanwhile, Blake also has 340 saves (which already is the Union's all-time mark) and is 10 away from reaching 350.

"Just to reflect back on the Toronto match, having watched it back now several times, we were able to accomplish several of our objectives but at the same time came up on the wrong end of the result. None of the guys are happy about that, I know the fans aren't happy. But if you do step back and look at the first 30 to 35 minutes, we made Toronto uncomfortable, had a lot of opportunities where we turned their back line around, we put them in uncomfortable situations, but weren't able to get that first goal.

"Obviously, there's things we still need to work on and clean up in terms of our box defending. We will do that this week and we'll continue to do that throughout the year. But it's a good chance for guys to look at the tape, to get better, and I've mentioned to the group -- and they're in the same belief as me -- there are still a lot of good things from the performance, and we won't let one result define this group because this group has too much quality and is too strong.

"I think character is how you bounce back from a disappointing loss, we recognize it's an opportunity lost at home. But now we have to go on the road to Kansas City -- a very good team that plays in Champions League [Wednesday] -- a lot of how we prepare for them, we've already started that, will come from what kind of lineup they play [Wednesday] and then what can be expected from them on Sunday.

"A long week in terms of preparation; I think that's a good thing.

A lot of opportunities for guys on the field, a lot of improvement to be made in the film room. We put that work in now and now all the focus is on Kansas City and going there to try and get three points."
