LA Galaxy Head Coach Curt Onalfo made four changes to the lineup from last weekend: Jelle Van Damme, Jaime Villarreal, Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean started in place of Hugo Arellano, Rafael Garcia, Romain Alessandrini and Jack McInerney. LA Galaxy started the match with five LA Galaxy Homegrown Players: Nathan Smith, Jaime Villarreal, Jose Villarreal, Gyasi Zardes and Jack McBean. Again in the Starting XI, João Pedro remains the only player to have started each game for the LA Galaxy in 2017 (15).

LA Galaxy Postgame Quote Sheet: LA Galaxy 3, Colorado Rapids 1 LA Galaxy Postgame Quote Sheet LA Galaxy 3, Colorado Rapids 1 Wednesday, June 21, 2017 2017 MLS Regular Season Dick’s Sporting Goods Park – Commerce City, Colo. LA GALAXY HEAD COACH CURT ONALFO On Jack McBean’s performance: “Anytime you score first, it’s a big deal in this league. Even though you look at the game, we conceded two chances in the first three minutes and they didn’t convert. Sometimes that happens, but we got the goal. I think we played a little too direct. They tied up the score but I think we had a good talk during halftime and we came out and we were excellent in the second half.” On momentum switching after their goal:
“We talked about how we were getting hurt, how Colorado was having success in the first half, and we just dealt with that battle in the second and you can just see the momentum shift. With the goal, and then we put in two fresh bodies who were both good attacking players and drawing a penalty.” On McBean’s role tonight: “In the case of Jack, he had some opportunities early on and he scored last week in the Open Cup which gave him confidence. Winning the game from his opportunities – that’s what we want. He’s got experience, he can hold the ball, and he knows how to play. It’s just a matter of him finding rhythm and that confidence.” On seeing his success as a local player: “Any player that we’ve developed through our organization, all of us should feel it. The fans, our club, ownership, that’s what we wanted to do. To develop from within and still attract world-class players like [Giovani] Dos Santos, [Romain] Alessandrini, [Ashley] Cole, so it’s nice to see.” LA GALAXY FORWARD JOSE VILLARREAL On the importance of this win: “Yes, it’s a tough place to play with the altitude going on, but guys fought through throughout the 90 minutes and it’s a big win for us.” On the team’s balance tonight: “We know what we are about. We are confident in any of the players that come in and step in for the other guys. We came to win, that’s the mentality and that’s what coach implemented in the game.” On getting the start after scoring last week: “It’s special. The other guy that plays that position is a special player. I look up to him so to be able to get that time and to get that number ‘10’ position is great. Anything to help out the team and overall just great team performance.” LA GALAXY FORWARD JACK MCBEAN On what worked tonight to get the goal: “Just stick to what I’ve been doing. Last season I had a good season. Scored a bunch of goals overseas on a loan. Came back, first couple games of the season I didn’t score. Confidence went down a little bit, but it’s a tough sport and it’s one of those things you have to trust your abilities and that’s what happened with the first goal.” On where he is mentally: “It’s tough mentally when you know you play 5-10 minutes at the end of games, some games you don’t play, and some you can go weeks without getting 90 minutes. It’s tough but that’s the nature of the sport and when my number is called, I have to do my job.” On what this means moving forward: “Like I said, I had a good season last season. I wasn’t on the mainstage but I know what I can do and it’s more of a matter of my mindset and doing it myself rather than other people getting into my head. It’s a process and it feels good to get rewarded.” COLORADO RAPIDS HEAD COACH PABLO MASTROENI Opening statement on the game: “In the early stages of the game we created some opportunities and if you don’t finish those, this game has a cruel way of making you regret those opportunities. It looked like we weren’t on the front foot defensively and what looked really successful for us in the early stages was threatening their backline. I think we gifted them three goals and it was one of those games that got away from us. We have to regroup here quickly and head out to Atlanta tomorrow.” On the team’s second half performance: “We were definitely flat. We almost started lulling ourselves to sleep. The passes were taking too long to go from A to B. The things that we did well in the first half were looking and playing forward, picking up second balls and bringing the fans and that energy into the game. The game got away from us because we had a lot of the ball and we were passing it sideways a lot instead of being on the front foot, being aggressive and trying to score that second goal.”
On what was missing in the last half hour: “I don’t think we won enough second balls and really some tired decisions. They kept threatening over our backline and setting up camp right around midfield quite a bit. For us, it has to be energy, it has to be attitude and mentality.” On Dillon Serna’s performance: “Serna had a very good performance. I think him and [Joshua] Gatt were both bright spots in a team that didn’t get forward a lot. Serna has been waiting on an opportunity, working hard and tonight he showed his level on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he brought players into the game, put in a couple good balls, took some good shots, and obviously scored a fantastic goal. It’s good to have players step up, especially in the absence of [Shkëlzen] Gashi and quite a few other players that are going to be questionable moving forward.” COLORADO RAPIDS MIDFIELDER DILLON SERNA On his first goal of the season: “Josh [Gatt] was causing a lot of problems in the first half on the left side and I told him that once he beat one or two guys, the back post was wide open. He was able to find me on one and I put it away.” On the Galaxy winning it in the second half: “I think we had confidence going into halftime. We fought back and got the goal. They had a bit more possession going into the second half and once they got the second goal, we couldn’t really recover. We were then trying to push too much and they ended up getting the third.” On quick turnaround to face Atlanta at the weekend: “We can’t let this happen again. We’ll have a fire under us and we’ll go to Atlanta looking to bounce back and get three points.” COLORADO RAPIDS MIDFIELDER JOSHUA GATT On his success on the wing and assist: “It was just about being in the right place at the right time and having the sense to just go forward. I saw my space, I attacked it and Dillon was in a great spot to finish that goal.” On the difference between halves: “Defensively we just shut down in the second half – no other way to put it. We gave away some bad goals that shouldn’t happen. We have to be better, learn from this and move on. We still have some games, we need to suck this one up tonight and let it go tomorrow.” On looking ahead to Saturday against Atlanta: “Every game is a game. Definitely looking at it as a way to get three points and we’re going to focus on that. It’s not about redemption, it’s just about being better and being a better team.”

#LAvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS
Sporting Kansas City remains on the road this weekend for a matchup with the LA Galaxy at StubHub center, looking to continue their positive stretch in June that has seen the side go an unbeaten 2-0-2 in all competitions - including a shutout 0-0 draw with the Galaxy’s perennial rival - the San Jose Earthquakes - last Saturday. Sporting KC is 20-24-14 all-time against the LA Galaxy, but are unbeaten in the last four games against the Californians. In 2016, the two sides met three times and split the points on each occasion.

Sporting KC is 5-16-7 on the road against the Galaxy and last won at StubHub Center on Aug. 28, 2010 when Davy Arnaud and Jimmy Conrad tallied in a 2-0 victory. Since then, Sporting KC is 0-3-1 at StubHub Center, with last season’s goalless draw snapping a three-game losing streak against the Galaxy. Sporting KC is 15-8-7 at home against LA and have not lost to the Galaxy at home since Sept. 27, 2007.

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 24, 2017 at LA Galaxy | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes CALIFORNIA LOVE
SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES PASSING CLINIC
Sporting Kansas City remain on the road this weekend for a Saturday showdown with the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center in Carson, California. Sporting KC were in Southern California last weekend for a date with the San Jose Earthquakes, snapping a two-game road losing streak with a 0-0 draw and pushing their 2017 road record to 1-4-4.
This season, Sporting Kansas City has dominated its opposition by maintaining possession and moving the ball around the field in an extremely effective manner. Two of the top four passers in MLS belong to Sporting KC, while the club ranks second in terms of average possession across the opening 17 games of the 2017 MLS season.
Sporting KC are unbeaten in their last four games against the LA Galaxy, going 1-0-3, including three draws across the 2016 season. However, Sporting KC are also winless in their last four games at StubHub Center, posting a 0-3-1 record since earning a 2-0 victory behind goals from Davy Arnaud and Jimmy Conrad on Aug. 28, 2010.
Offseason acquisition Ilie, who was brought up through Barcelona’s famed La Masia Academy and made over 100 appearances as captain for Barcelona B, has been key to this domination. Ilie leads MLS with 1,265 passes attempted and is third in passes completed with 1,080. In a system where the center backs see much of the possession, Matt Besler is also ranked in the top four in passing statistics. The Overland Park native is fourth in the league in both attempted passes and completed passes, tallying 1,132 and 974, respectively.
Sporting KC is winless on the road in their last six, going 0-4-2 since notching an impressive 1-0 victory over the Portland Timbers at Providence Park on April 15. Dom Dwyer headed home the only goal of the game in that showdown, which marks one of just three goals that Sporting KC has scored away from home in 2017. The other two goals were tallied by Latif Blessing in the 2-2 draw with Orlando City at Orlando City Stadium on May 13. Contrary to Sporting KC, the Galaxy have posted the best record in MLS away from home with a 5-2-1 mark for 16 of the club’s 22 points this season but have the worst home record with a dreadful mark of 1-3-3 at StubHub Center.
Sporting KC also only trails another possession-oriented team in New York City FC for the highest average possession percentage from game-to-game. Across their 16 games to date in 2017, NYCFC have kept an average of 58.87 percent of the possession in their games, narrowly edging out Sporting KC’s 58.18 percent.
NATIONAL TEAM REUNION
Following Saturday’s game against the Galaxy, Sporting KC head south for a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 clash with the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium on Wednesday, June 28 at 5:30 p.m. CT. Sporting KC will have their longest road swing late this summer when they travel to face Houston (Aug. 26), New York City FC (Sept. 6) and Columbus Crew SC (Sept. 10).
When Sporting Kansas City and the LA Galaxy meet at StubHub Center on Saturday night, a host of U.S. National Team players will be on show. Each side has four players on their roster that are either included in the upcoming CONCACAF Gold Cup squad or have been a member of the U.S. National Team in recent years. Between the two sides, four players were included in the Gold Cup roster by former Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena - three for Sporting KC (Besler, Dwyer, Zusi) and one for the LA Galaxy (Zardes). LA could conceivably have more members on that roster, but have suffered due to injuries to key players Jermaine Jones and Sebastian Lletget. The two sides have combined for 251 caps for the U.S. National Team to date, while other members of the squads such as Seth Sinovic and Jon Kempin have both spent time in camp with the USMNT in the past.
GALAXY QUEST
When Sporting Kansas City takes on the LA Galaxy on Saturday night the side will be facing one of just five active teams in MLS that Sporting KC has a losing record against. Sporting KC is 20-24-14 all-time in the regular season against the LA Galaxy and the side also holds losing records against the Chicago Fire (14-26-11), D.C. United (20-2113), the Houston Dynamo (5-9-11) and Seattle Sounders FC (5-7-3).
Player Graham Zusi Benny Feilhaber Matt Besler Dom Dwyer Jermaine Jones Gyasi Zardes Robbie Rogers Sebastian Lletget
Despite Sporting KC posting a losing record against the Galaxy, the side has in fact held the edge in series over the last decade. Since the start of the 2008 season, Sporting KC is 5-4-7 against the LA Galaxy, though only one of those five wins have come at StubHub Center. Sporting KC has gone 1-4-2 when playing on the road against the Galaxy in the regular season over the last 10 years, with the sole win coming on Aug. 28, 2010 when club legends Davy Arnaud and Jimmy Conrad tallied in a 2-0 victory. The two sides met three times in 2016, with all three resulting in a draw. In the first meeting on May 1, Sporting KC took the lead through Brad Davis before Giovani dos Santos responded for the Galaxy as the game ended 1-1 at Children’s Mercy Park before the two sides drew 0-0 at StubHub Center on June 2 in a game where Sporting KC outshot the Galaxy 15-1. The final meeting was the most dramatic, as Alan Gordon gave LA the lead before Sporting KC stormed back to take the lead through Jacob Peterson and Dom Dwyer before Landon Donovan scored the only goal of his brief spell out of retirement for LA to salvage a 2-2 draw at Children’s Mercy Park on Sept. 18.
Following Saturday’s MLS regular-season matchup with the LA Galaxy at StubHub Center, Sporting Kansas City will immediately begin preparations for the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 tie with the Houston Dynamo, set for Wednesday, June 28 at BBVA Compass Stadium with kickoff at 5:30 p.m. CT. It’s the second straight season that Sporting KC will face Houston at BBVA Compass Stadium in the U.S. Open Cup Round of 16, having fallen to a 3-1 defeat on June 29, 2016. Mauro Manotas and Alex gave the home side a 2-0 lead before Brad Davis pulled a goal back against his former club, but Manotas made sure of progression in the tournament for the Dynamo by adding his second late in the game. This year’s Open Cup run also mirrors the 2016 campaign in that Sporting KC reached the Round of 16 by dispatching of Minnesota United FC in the Fourth Round.
MELIA SETS NEW SINGLE-SEASON HIGH FOR SHUTOUTS
With his three-save shutout in the 0-0 draw against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night, Sporting KC goalkeeper Tim Melia set a new single-season high for shutouts as he kept his ninth clean sheet of the year. Melia’s previous season high was eight, which he set in both 2015 and 2016.
Should Sporting KC advance past the Houston Dynamo next Wednesday, Peter Vermes’ men would host the winner of the Colorado Rapids vs. FC Dallas showdown in the Quarterfinal stage to be held from July 11-12. Sporting KC has won the competition on three occasions: 2004, 2012 and most recently in 2015. Only the Chicago Fire and Seattle Sounders FC have won the competition more often in the MLS era (1996-present) with four titles apiece while Sporting KC are the only MLS side to win the tournament every time the side has taken part in the final.
Melia has been Major League Soccer’s best goalkeeper in 2017, playing every minute as Sporting KC has conceded a league-low 11 goals in 17 games for a 0.65 goals against average while Melia’s nine shutouts are also a league-high. Melia is also on pace to break both club and league records if his form continues this season, as the club’s 0.65 goals against average would better the record set by Real Salt Lake’s 0.67 in 2010 where RSL conceded 20 goals in a 30-game season. In addition, Melia is on track to beat Tony Meola’s club and league record for most shutouts in a season that the club legend set in 2000 with 16 and Melia’s 0.65 goals against average would see him trail only Kevin Hartman’s 0.62 GAA record that the then FC Dallas goalkeeper set in 2010.

All-time, Sporting KC are 5-16-7 against the LA Galaxy away from home and last season’s 0-0 draw snapped a three-game losing streak for Sporting KC at StubHub Center. Dom Dwyer (2g, 2a) and Benny Feilhaber (1g, 3a) lead the current team by contributing to four goals against LA.

SIX SPORTING KC PLAYERS RACK UP MINUTES WITH SPR
On Wednesday night at Children’s Mercy Victory Field in Swope Soccer Village, four Sporting Kansas City players started for the Swope Park Rangers while a further two were available off the bench as the Rangers came from behind to snatch a 2-1 victory over Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC.

In the starting lineup was goalkeeper Adrian Zendejas, defenders Amer Didic and Tyler Pasher and forward Daniel Salloi - who recently scored on his first start for Sporting KC in a 4-0 win over Minnesota United FC in the U.S. Open Cup on June 14. Zendejas, Didic and Pasher all went the full 90 minutes in the home victory, while Salloi was replaced by fellow Sporting KC loanee Diego Rubio in the 60th minute.

Rubio won the corner that was converted by Liam Doyle for the equalizing goal in the 67th minute of the contest.
PLAYOFF STREAK
Cameron Iwasa was the only Sporting KC loanee not to feature in the game as the Rangers completed the comeback when captain Christian Duke knocked home a loose ball in the box to ensure the Rangers took home the points their performance deserved as the side out-possessed Colorado Springs 73-27 and outshot their opposition 19-12.

Sporting KC is looking to become the sixth club in MLS history to make at least seven straight trips to the postseason, while Manager Peter Vermes would be just the fourth coach to lead the same team to seven straight playoff appearances.
BENNY, THE CREATOR
Sporting Kansas City midfielder Benny Feilhaber is tied for second on the team with two goals and his three assists place him in a tie for first on the squad. Feilhaber hit 50 regular-season assists on Wednesday, May 17 against Seattle Sounders FC when he helped set up Gerso’s third and final goal of the game - nine for the New England Revolution and 41 for Sporting KC.

On top of his exploits on the scoresheet, Feilhaber is tied for third in MLS with 42 chances created - trailing his childhood friend and New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacha Kljestan’s 49 - and leads the league with 29 chances created from open play, one ahead of Columbus Crew SC’s Justin Meram, NYCFC’s Maxi Moralez and Portland Timbers’ Diego Valeri. As a club, Sporting KC leads Major League Soccer with 185 chances created - three more than the Portland Timbers in second - and chances created from open play with 164. Sporting KC have produced the vast majority of their chances from open play, with Ike Opara’s headed goal off Graham Zusi’s corner kick in the U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round victory the first goal the side has designed off a set piece in 2017.
VERMES VERBATIM
On Sporting KC getting its first shutout on the road since April against San Jose... “MLS is a very difficult league because, I always say, there’s so much parity from team to team. Obviously, the results every week show how hard it is to get points on the road in this league as well. It’s one thing to come and get a point; it’s another thing to play, have the ball as much as we did, probe the field as well as we did, and I think it was the second minute, we probably could’ve scored two goals—or first three minutes or whatever—we could’ve scored two goals. Yeah, it was very good. I’d say for the whole game what was never easy is you almost get a little bit impatient at some point and lose the organization on the field, lose a little of your positional sense, and now when they win the ball, because obviously they were sitting back and trying to counter, we could’ve really gotten exposed, but credit to the guys because they were very disciplined throughout the course of the match and that piece was excellent.”
BESLER AND SINOVIC RENEW PARTNERSHIP
After helping Sporting KC record nine shutouts in the opening 17 games on the left side of the defense to open the 2017 MLS season, center back Matt Besler and left back Seth Sinovic have now posted 47 total shutouts in just 121 games where both have started in the regular season. Besler and Sinovic have started 16 of the club’s 17 regular-season games together this season, posting all nine shutouts. Since Sinovic made his first appearance for the team on May 28, 2011 after being waived by the New England Revolution earlier in the year, Sporting KC leads all of MLS with 77 shutouts - 14 more than the LA Galaxy in second. Besler and Sinovic have started 121 of the 213 games since the trade, posting 47 of the club’s 77 shutouts alongside one another.
On the chances the team was unable to capitalize on... “The great thing is, all you have to get is a chance in the last second of the game, you know? Goalkeeper [David Bingham] made a good save. That’s what he’s there for. It’s not just hit it and it goes in, right? To be honest with you, I’m not really concerned about any of that. Why would I be? Being able to come into somebody else’s place and possess the ball the way we did, create chances the way we did. Sometimes it doesn’t go in, that’s okay. Very good from our team and the chances we created were tremendous.”
Individually, Besler leads the league in shutouts since Sinovic joined the club with 63, while Sinovic is second with 56. Prior to the 1-1 draw with Montreal on Saturday, June 10 where Belser was with the U.S. National Team in Mexico, Besler and Sinovic had started each of Sporting KC’s previous 17 regular-season games, conceding just 10 goals - a rate of 0.59 per game.
DWYER CLOSING IN ON PREKI
After yet another season of rampant goalscoring, forward Dom Dwyer is now within touching distance of Sporting KC legend Preki for the most goals in both MLS and in all competitions. Dwyer scored his first goal since early May in the 4-0 drubbing of Minnesota United FC on Wednesday, June 14 to bring his total to 67 in all competitions, including 57 in the regular season. Dwyer sits just 14 MLS goals and 14 strikes in all competitions shy of Preki’s all-time records of 71 and 81, respectively. The 26-year-old has amassed 55 goals since the start of the 2014 season. Only Bradley Wright-Phillips has scored more MLS goals in that time period than Dwyer, and took home the MLS Golden Boot titles in 2014 and 2016.
Another factor that comes into play is Dwyer’s longevity. The Londoner is the only Sporting KC player to appear in at least 36 games in all competitions over the last three seasons. Player Preki Dwyer Arnaud Wolff Klein

Sporting KC Game Notes | June 24, 2017 at LA Galaxy | 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 in his ninth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2017. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 136 coaching victories in all competitions are the most club history. During his tenure, he has won three major trophies – the 2012 and 2015 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. He is the first coach in club history to lead Sporting KC to six 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 110 regular-season wins top the club’s all-time chart and rank eighth 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 has coached 312 total games during his Kansas City coaching career, most in club history.
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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
Assistant Coach | Zoran Savic
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. Year
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.
