POSTGAME QUOTES New York City FC Head Coach Domènec Torrent On tonight’s match...

“Well it was very important to get three points, but we can’t play in that way. We have to play in that way, control the ball, but we missed a lot of opportunities. Before the game I talked about that -- we have to be more clinical in the 18 yard box because we missed a lot of opportunities. After that, I am very happy with the players, they played really well. The problem was the last five minutes because when you’re playing with one player up, you have to keep the ball and have control in the game.”

New York City FC Forward Alexandru Mitriță On his impact as a substitute...

“It’s not easy for me -- I came after one month from injury and the coach told me to go on the pitch and put my quality in the team. I scored and I’m very happy for the three points.”

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2019 at New York City FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #NYCvSKC: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#NYCvSKC: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting Kansas City is back on the road this weekend, traveling to the Northeast to take on New York City FC at Yankee Stadium on Friday night. The all-time series between the two sides is currently tied at 2-2-0, with Sporting claiming wins in the first two meetings between the sides when New York City joined the league in 2015, before NYC hit back, winning the most recent two matchups.

Sporting Kansas City were the first-ever team to beat New York City FC when the two sides met at Yankee Stadium in NYC’s fourth game in club history in 2015, though things didn’t go as smoothly for Sporting in their last visit to New York City as a late Jack Harrison goal sealed a 1-0 victory for the home side on September 6, 2017.

Sporting KC welcomed New York City to Children’s Mercy Park for the season opener in 2018, as the visitors came into Kansas City and spoiled the party with an impressive 2-0 victory in the only meeting of the season between the two sides. Maxi Moralez gave NYC the lead midway through the first half before Jesus Medina finished off a sweeping move early in the second period on his NYCFC debut to seal the victory.

Current Sporting trio Felipe Gutierrez, Yohan Croizet and Johnny Russell all made their club debuts in the game, with Gutierrez rattling the crossbar with a thunderous free kick late on.

Despite suffering defeat in their season opener in 2018, Sporting went on to finish first in the Western Conference last year, while New York City finished third in the Eastern Conference. So far this season, New York City are tied for the fewest losses in MLS with three - alongside runaway leaders Los Angeles FC.

#NYCvSKC: Recent Meetings (Series tied 2-2-0 in regular season)

Sporting KC Team Notes • Sporting sit five points below the seventh and final playoff spot with 13 matches still to play.

• Sporting have already suffered as many regular season defeats this year (eight) as they did in all of 2018.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2019 at New York City FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes BACK ON THE ROAD

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES ROGER RETURNS

After their first back-to-back wins of the season against the Chicago Fire and Vancouver Whitecaps on July 6 and July 13, respectively, Sporting Kansas City were left disappointed following last weekend’s 2-0 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park.

Dominique Badji gave the visitors the lead late in the first half before Jesus Ferreira doubled the lead in the second half.

After missing the last three months with a PCL sprain, Sporting Kansas City’s combative midfield general Roger Espinoza made his return to the field during last Saturday’s 2-0 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park. Espinoza entered the game in the 65th minute, replacing Gedion Zelalem, and committed a team-high three fouls in his 25 minutes on the field.

Sporting will play four of their next seven MLS fixtures on home soil between now and the end of August. This stretch of the schedule affords Peter Vermes’ men a chance to climb the Western Conference table, while looking to pick up points on the road.

Sporting will close out the month of July with a road match against New York City FC this Friday, July 26 at Yankee Stadium.

Espinoza missed three months with the injury, having last appeared in the 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls on April 14. It was also the first time in just under 10 years that Espinoza has featured in a game as a substitute. The last time the Honduran entered an MLS regular-season game as a substitute was Oct. 24, 2009 in a 2-2 draw with D.C. United at CommunityAmerica Ballpark, when he replaced Matt Marquess in the 85th minute to join current teammates Matt Besler and Graham Zusi on the field.

After posting 10 shots on goal in back-to-back games during the wins over Chicago and Vancouver - just the third time in club history that Sporting had done so in consecutive games - Peter Vermes’ side struggled to find the frame against Dallas, only testing Jesse Gonzalez twice on 18 shot attempts.

Espinoza has been a mainstay at the club across two separate stints from 2008-2012 and 2015-present day, making 270 appearances in all competitions and tallying nine goals and 38 assists. This season, Espinoza has one goal and three assists in MLS and Champions League play, having played in just 11 games while missing significant time through injury.

Sporting’s task on Friday is made that much more difficult as the side will be missing top-scorer Felipe Gutierrez who is set to serve a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation. However, Sporting will be able to welcome back Ilie Sanchez who served his yellow card accumulation suspension against FC Dallas.

FREEMAN TO LINK UP WITH U.S. U-17s

Sporting Kansas City forward Tyler Freeman has been selected to the U.S. U-17 National Team for a 26-player training camp that runs from July 26 - August 7 at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California.

Sporting’s is 2-2-0 all-time against New York City FC, with the two sides facing off once a season since NYC’s expansion year in 2015. The two sides have never met outside of MLS regular-seaosn competition. Sporting has an excellent 4-2-4 record against the Eastern Conference in 2019, to go along with a 2-6-3 mark against the West.

Assembled by U-17 head coach Raphael Wicky, the roster features 14 players including Freeman - who were part of the USA’s Concacaf U-17 Championship squad in May. Earlier this month, the U.S. was drawn into Group D for the 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Brazil alongside Senegal, Japan and the Netherlands.

BATTLE IN THE BIG APPLE

Sporting Kansas City hits the road this weekend to take on New York City FC on Friday night at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Sporting saw their two-game winning streak snapped with last weekend’s loss to FC Dallas, while NYC enters the game having topped the Colorado Rapids 2-1 on the road last Saturday, ending a two-game losing streak that included their first home loss of the season against the Portland Timbers.

The U.S. U-17s will face two USL Championship teams during their training camp in Southern California: Orange County SC next Wednesday, July 31, at 1:30 p.m. CT at the Championship Soccer Stadium in Irvine, California, and LA Galaxy II on Aug. 6 at 1 p.m.

CT at Dignity Health Sports Park.

BUSIO SET TO JOIN MLS HOMEGROWN TEAM

The two sides last met during the season opener in 2018, with New York City leaving Children’s Mercy Park with all three points following an impressive 2-0 victory. Maxi Moralez gave the visitors the lead in the first half before debutant Jesus Medina doubled the advantage early in the second period. Sporting’s Felipe Gutierrez, Johnny Russell and Yohan Croizet all made their debuts in the match.

Sporting Kansas City midfielder Gianluca Busio headlines a talented roster for the 2019 MLS Homegrown Game presented by Energizer, which will see the league’s best young players square off against Chivas de Guadalajara’s Under-20 Team on July 30 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida. The annual showcase will kick off at 4 p.m. CT.

In Sporting Kansas City’s last visit to Yankee Stadium on September 6, 2017, New York City FC edged the contest with a late volley from winger Jack Harrison from the edge of the area preventing Sporting KC from stealing a point in rain-soaked conditions.

Busio will join a 22-player squad coached by Orlando City SC Academy Director Marcelo Neveleff, who previously served as an assistant coach for the New England Revolution and was part of the staff to coach the U.S. at the 2017 Concacaf U-20 Championship.

Sporting handed New York City their first-ever loss in franchise history when an early Ike Opara header earned Sporting a 1-0 victory at Yankee Stadium on March 28, 2015 - four games into NYCFC’s expansion season. The two sides are a dead-even 2-2-0 in the all-time series, and are yet to meet in any competition other than MLS.

Chivas de Guadalajara claimed the Liga MX Clausura U-20 title at the end of 2019.

The U-20 side boasts numerous players who have earned playing time with a heralded senior team that has captured three titles in the past three years. The Chivas U-20 traveling roster will be named at a later date.

GUTIERREZ SUSPENDED IN MIDST OF EXCELLENT SEASON

Sporting Kansas City will be without influential midfielder Felipe Gutierrez when the side travels to New York City FC on Friday night as the Chilean serves a one-game suspension for yellow card accumulation.

Busio, who turned 17 on May 28, has appeared in 17 competitive matches for Sporting this season as an important midfield contributor. He most notably scored in three straight league games from March 30 to April 14, becoming the youngest player in MLS history to score a goal in consecutive matches.

Gutierrez has enjoyed a stellar season with Sporting KC, tallying a team-high eight goals while adding two assists from his position in central midfield. Gutierrez earned his sixth yellow card of the 2019 season in the first half of last Saturday’s 2-0 loss to FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park.

CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK HOSTS FC BAYERN & AC MILAN

Sporting Kansas City’s home stadium, Children’s Mercy Park, played host to German giants FC Bayern and Italian outfit AC Milan before a sold-out crowd of 18,469 on Tuesday night as Bayern ran out 1-0 winners. The International Champions Cup encounter was decided on the stroke of halftime when midfielder Leon Goretzka settled a pass from fellow German international Joshua Kimmich and slotted low into the corner for the match-winner.

The 28-year-old joined Sporting from La Liga side Real Betis ahead of the 2018 campaign and has plundered home 15 goals and eight assists in 52 appearances in all competitions since arriving in Kansas City. Gutierrez is second of all SKC field players with 2,252 minutes played this season, trailing Ilie Sanchez by 15.

The ICC matchup was the eighth international club friendly in Children’s Mercy Park history, and the first since the heralded venue hosted Mexican rivals Pachuca and Santos Laguna in 2016. AC Milan became the second Italian outfit to visit the stadium, following 2013 MLS All-Star Game guest AS Roma, while FC Bayern were the first German club to do so.

ACADEMY PRODUCT CAMERON DUKE SIGNS

Last Thursday, Sporting Kansas City announced that the club has signed 18-yearold midfielder Cameron Duke as a Homegrown Player. The versatile midfielder is the No. 1 prospect in the Heartland Region and the 20th-ranked player nationally at TopDrawerSoccer.com, having graduated from Blue Valley West High School in May.

The sellout comes on the heels of an electric Concacaf Gold Cup battle between the United States and Panama that took place at Children’s Mercy Park on June 26.

The U.S. claimed a 1-0 win to finish atop Group D before taking second place at the tournament. Since opening in June 2011, Children’s Mercy Park has welcomed the U.S. Men’s National Team six times, the U.S. Women’s National Team four times and hosted eight high-profile international friendlies.

A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Duke becomes the 11th Homegrown Player in club history. He entered the Sporting KC Academy in 2012, rising from the U-12 to the U-19 ranks, and has represented U.S. at the U-14, U-15, U-16 and U-18 levels. Duke most recently helped the U-19s reach the quarterfinals of the USSDA Playoffs last month in Oceanside, California.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2019 at New York City FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes HEY ZUS, YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR

SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES

2026 WORLD CUP HEADING TO NORTH AMERICA

Sporting Kansas City announced on Tuesday, June 18 that defender Graham Zusi has been named to the 2019 MLS All-Star Fan XI presented by Target. The MLS All-Stars will take on Spanish giants Atletico Madrid at Exploria Stadium in Orlando on Aug. 1.

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.

Zusi receives MLS All-Star recognition for the seventh time in his heralded career, tying club legend Preki for the most in Sporting history. The right back lands All-Star accolades for the third straight year, having earned his first four nods from 2012-2015.

His seven All-Star selections since 2012 are the most in Major League Soccer. Zusi has amassed 31 goals and 80 assists in 312 competitive appearances for Sporting, ranking second on the team’s all-time charts in assists and games played.

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.

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.

Since joining the club in the 2009 MLS SuperDraft out of the University of Maryland, Zusi has helped Sporting to three Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles (2012, 2015, 2017), the 2013 MLS Cup and an eight-year playoff streak that began in 2011. The versatile veteran was selected to the MLS Best XI in 2012 and 2013 after being named the 2011 MLS Breakout Player of the Year. A tearful Zusi was surprised with the news by young patients at Children’s Mercy Hospital during his monthly visit on Tuesday, June 18.

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.

VERMES ENTERS 11th SEASON

Entering his 11th season at the helm of Sporting KC, manager Peter Vermes looks to win more hardware and guide his side to yet another postseason appearance in 2019.

Despite elimination from the Concacaf Champions League and the U.S. Open Cup, Sporting KC will still aim to win the MLS Cup.

PLAYOFF STREAK REACHES EIGHT SEASONS

Vermes is the longest tenured coach that is currently in charge of a team in MLS, having led 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 U.S. National Team job in late 2016.

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.

LONGEST MLS PLAYOFF STREAKS Club Seasons LA Galaxy 10 (1996-2005) Seattle Sounders FC 10 (2009-2018) *active New York Red Bulls 9 (2010-2018) *active Sporting KC 8 (2011-2018) *active LA Galaxy 8 (2009-2016) NE Revolution 8 (2002-2009) Real Salt Lake 7 (2008-2014)

With almost 10 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept. 17, 2007 - present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fifth longest active run.

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.

LA Galaxy 6 1999-2004 Jason Kreis Real Salt Lake 6 2008-2013

Vermes has compiled a 174-128-101 record in all competitions with Sporting KC, including a remarkable 20-7-3 mark in U.S. Open Cup contests. Vermes’ 139 wins in MLS regular-season action ranks fifth all-time and second among active coaches in MLS, trailing Los Angeles FC’s Bob Bradley.

VERMES VERBATIM

RECORD-SETTING 2018

See below for comments from Sporting KC Manager and Sporting Director Peter Vermes following the 2-0 loss against FC Dallas at Children’s Mercy Park on July 20.

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.

Thoughts on the match: “You’ve got to score. We should have been up 3-0 in the first half. We gave a stupid goal away. We never were dangerous enough in the second half. When we did get chances, we weren’t edgy and we weren’t clinical enough. It’s an opportunity lost, but we’ve got to get ready for our next game.”

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).

On the frustrations from tonight’s outcome: “I don’t know what else I can say other than if you take chances like we did and don’t score then it’s shame on us. Simple as can be. We had great chances and three golden opportunities that didn’t hit the target in the first half. The difference is they capitalized on two of their chances and we capitalized on zero.”

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).

On Dallas’ goals being scored off errors: “We gave the ball away, obviously. We made it too easy on them. The second goal, we did what we had to do in regard to blocking the first one. On the second ball we just had to clear it.”

On Roger Espinoza’s return: “It’s Roger. We missed him. He won balls and plays at a different level of intensity on the field and he brings a different spirit, which the group needs. It’s great to see him get 30 minutes like he did. He’s tough mentally and obviously tough physically. To be able to come back the way he has and get back on the field as quick as he has is a testament to him because he’s a tough dude.”

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.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 26, 2019 at New York City FC | 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 174 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 139 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 MLS Sporting Executive of the Year by his peers in 2018. Vermes has coached 403 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.

With almost 10 years of service at Sporting KC, Vermes is one of the longest serving managers in world soccer. Among all 18 leagues with an average attendance of 10,000+, Vermes ranks second, only behind 2. Bundesliga side FC Heidenheim’s Frank Schmidt (Sept.

17, 2007 – present). Among the top 51 leagues in the world as denoted by the CIES Football Observatory, Vermes’ tenure at Sporting KC ranks as the fifth longest active run.

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.

Vermes oversees all soccer operations for Sporting KC, including the active roster, the Swope Park Rangers (USL Championship) 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vermes was an integral part of a young U.S. team at the 1990 World Cup in Italy, where he nearly scored 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.

Goalkeeper Coach | Alec Dufty Goalkeeper coach Alec Dufty enters his third season with Sporting Kansas City having been introduced to the organization as the Swope Park Rangers goalkeeper coach in the side’s inaugural season in 2016. In his first season working with Sporting KC’s goalkeepers, starting goalkeeper Tim Melia enjoyed a record-breaking season where he was named the 2017 MLS Goalkeeper of the Year.

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.

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.
