Zusi, 27, has recorded a career-high six goals and a team-best 11 assists in all competition this season for Sporting Kansas City while becoming a key contributor on the U.S. Men's National Team. Zusi has 18 international appearances, highlighted by a role in 12 of the United States' last 13 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He has tallied three goals and two assists for the U.S. MNT, including goals in each of the last two FIFA World Cup qualifiers. After being named MLS Breakout Player of the Year in 2011, Zusi was an MLS MVP finalist in 2012 and was a nominee for Best MLS Player at the 2013 ESPYS. He led all MLS players with five game-winning assists and 52 chances created from set play in 2013, and was the top-rated midfielder in the MLS Castrol Index. Zusi started the 100th game of his MLS career (including playoffs) in the Eastern Conference Championship second leg and is tied for the most assists in team history in the postseason.
MATT BESLER
MLS BEST XI RUNNER-UP FOR DEFENDER OF THE YEAR Besler, 26, was runner-up for MLS Defender of the Year in 2013 after winning the award one year ago. The Overland Park, Kan. native earned his second MLS All-Star selection this season and was named the team's defensive player of the year for a third straight year. He anchored a Sporting KC team that led the league in fewest goals allowed (30), fewest shots conceded (301), fewest shots on goal conceded (100), duels won (2032), aerials won (708), headed clearances (680), interceptions (794) and fewest corners conceded (134). Among MLS defenders with 2,000 regular season minutes played, Besler finished in the top three in the following statistical categories: • • • • •
Most passes (50.35) and successful passes (40.39) per 90 minutes played Fewest shots on goal conceded (23) Second most aerials (5.13) and aerials won (3.22) per 90 minutes played Third most touches (72.35) and duels won (5.91) per 90 minutes played Third most chances created from set play (12)
JIMMY NIELSEN
FINALIST FOR GOALKEEPER OF THE YEAR Nielsen, 36, is among the top three candidates for MLS Goalkeeper of the Year along with Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake) and Donovan Ricketts (Portland Timbers) with the winner to be announced by MLS on Dec. 4. A twotime MLS All-Star, Nielsen is the reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and also received Best XI honors last season. In 2013, he led all goalkeepers with 17 wins in 2013 and his 0.88 goals against average in the regular season was best among goalkeepers with a minimum of 1,000 minutes played. His 13 shutouts were second most in MLS this year, highlighted by the league's longest shutout streak of the season at 546 minutes. Both marks are fifth best in MLS all-time. He lowered his career goals against average to 0.99, best in MLS history among goalkeepers with 1,000 minutes played, and played every minute during the 2013 campaign. His streak of 90 consecutive complete regular season games played ranks second longest in the MLS record book.

MLS CUP
Wizards goalkeeper Tony Meola capped off a remarkable season by making ten saves as Kansas City downed the Chicago Fire 1-0 in MLS Cup 2000 on a Sunday afternoon at RFK Stadium. Miklos Molnar scored the game-winning goal 11 minutes into the contest, and the league’s best defense made it stand up from there. Meola was named MLS Cup MVP after he earned MLS MVP, Goalkeeper of the Year and Comeback Player of the Year awards for a stellar regular season. The 31-year-old, who set an MLS record with 16 shutouts in the regular season, also set a new mark with five postseason shutouts. Kansas City took advantage of an early breakdown by Chicago to net the game’s only goal in the 11th minute. Wizards midfielder Chris Klein stole the ball from the Fire’s Diego Gutierrez near midfield and stormed down the right flank toward the box. Klein’s low cross eluded several defenders before Fire midfielder Jesse Marsch failed to clear the ball, allowing Molnar to pounce on it and roll the ball past Fire ‘keeper Zach Thornton for the game’s lone goal. “The Danish Dynamite’s” goal was his fifth of the playoffs and seventh in his last 10 games. For Klein, the assist was his second in the postseason. Kansas City went 19-2-1 when scoring first in all games in 2000 including playoff contests. The 39,159 fans at RFK Stadium were treated to exciting soccer after Molnar’s goal, with MLS’ best offense hunting for an equalizer against the league’s best defense. Meola ensured the Wizards would capture the first MLS Cup title in club history with several spectacular saves. Meola’s best sequence came after the 80th minute, when the All-Star made several diving stops from close range in the box. The veteran goalkeeper turned aside quality chances from striker Josh Wolff (82nd minute), midfielder Dema Kovalenko (83rd minute) and legendary forward Hristo Stoitchkov (86th minute). 26

MLS CUP
D.C. United outlasted the Kansas City Wizards, 3-2, to win their fourth MLS Cup in front of 25,797 fans at The Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
KANSAS CITY WIZARDS (14-9-7, 2-2-0) VS D.C. United 11-10-9, 3-0-1) DATE: November 14, 2004 -- The Home Depot Center
Kansas City got off to an early lead, when Jose Burciaga Jr. unleashed a left-footed strike from 30 yards out that found the back of the net.
Goals by Period 1 2 Tot Kansas City 1 1 2 D.C. United 3 0 3
United’s Alecko Eskandarian answered quickly and leveled the match at 1-1 in the 19th minute, the first of three goals for D.C. in a span of just seven minutes. Eskandarian, who was named the final’s Most Valuable Player, struck again just four minutes later and an own goal by the Wizards’ Alex Zotinca put D.C. ahead for good. An intentional, goal-saving handball by United’s Dema Kovalenko in the 57th minute led to his ejection, and an opportunity for the Wizards to pull within one. It was the first-ever red card issued in the title game. Kansas City’s Josh Wolff converted the penalty, the first successful attempt in MLS Cup history, but shorthanded United would hold off the Wizards for their fourth Cup and first since 1999.

Peter Vermes - Manager Vermes’ career began in Delran, N.J. where he led Delran High School to a state championship in 1983 with the game-winning goal in overtime and was the New Jersey scholastic player of the year in 1984 as an All-American who finished his prep career with 109 goals. Collegiately, he recorded eight goals and three assists at Loyola of Maryland before transferring to Rutgers University. From 1985-1987, Vermes contributed 35 goals and 19 assists for the Scarlet Knights in a college career that culminated with Atlantic 10 Player of the Year, NSCAA All-American and National Player of the Year finalist honors. He scored 21 goals and added 10 assists in 24 games as Rutgers’ Male Athlete of the Year as a senior and his 10 game-winning goals in 1987 still stand as a school record. Vermes debuted for the U.S. Men’s National Team in 1988 in the first of 67 career appearances that spanned the highest levels of international competition. He represented the United States at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea and was named U.S. Soccer’s 1988 Male Athlete of the Year and Olympic Player of the Year. In 1989, he starred for the bronze-medal winning U.S. team at the first-ever FIFA Five-A-Side World Championship (now Futsal World Cup) in Holland, where he was the tournament’s leading scorer with six goals. He then made six appearances in the 1989 CONCACAF Championship, helping the U.S. qualify for the country’s first FIFA World Cup in 40 years. Vermes was chosen to the World Cup team, coached by Gansler, and started all three games at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy. After scoring six of his 11 career international goals in 1990 and earning the captain’s armband for his country, Vermes scored twice in the 1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup with goals in the group stage finale and semifinals en route to the United States’ first of four regional championships. After playing a prominent role in the first ever Gold Cup, Vermes would also feature in the inaugural editions of two more international tournaments a year later with appearances in the 1992 U.S. Cup and FIFA Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia. In 1993, Vermes was selected for the United States first trip to Copa America and again represented the U.S. in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. He earned his final cap for the U.S. Men’s National Team in November 1997 after transitioning from goal scorer to defender, playing in his 10th career FIFA World Cup Qualifier and doing so under his fifth different national team coach. Vermes also enjoyed a prolific career at the club level, turning pro with the American Soccer League’s New Jersey Eagles in 1988. He then became the first American to play in the first divisions of Hungary (Raba ETO FC in 1989) and Holland (F.C. Volendam in 1990). Following a brief stint with the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the American Professional Soccer League, he joined Figueres in Spain’s second division from 1991-1995. Returning home ahead of Major League’s soccer inaugural season, Vermes first played domestically for the New York Fever as a USISL Professional League Northeast Division All-Star in 1995. He was selected in the 1996 MLS Inaugural Player Draft by the New York/New Jersey MetroStars and captained the club in their debut season, leading the team in minutes played. Following the MLS season, Vermes signed with the NPSL’s Philadelphia Kixx and was a 1996-1997 NPSL All-Star. The Colorado Rapids acquired Vermes prior to the 1997 season, in a trade for current Sporting Kansas City assistant coach Kerry Zavagnin, and Vermes led the club to the 1997 MLS Cup with six goals and four assists in the regular season. A team co-captain, Vermes’ three years in Colorado under head coach Glenn Myernick from 1997-1999 remain as the Rapids three most victorious seasons in team history. Not only was Vermes the only MLS player to play every minute in the 1999 season, but the feat came during a span of 67 uninterrupted MLS appearances from 1998-2000 that ranks second most by a field player in League history. Vermes arrived in Kansas City for the historic 2000 season via a trade with the Rapids. After finishing worst in the Western Conference a year before, KC won the Supporters Shield and MLS Cup in 2000 thanks to Vermes’ stellar defensive play in front of Tony Meola. The team set an MLS record for most regular season shutouts with 17, highlighted by an 817-minute shutout streak in home matches that still stands as the best mark in MLS history. Vermes anchored the backline in all seven postseason matches, including five more shutouts, to cap off a season that saw him claim MLS All-Star, Best XI and Defender of the Year honors. Vermes’ playing career came to a close after the 2002 season, retiring at the age of 36 after a seven-year MLS run in which he reached the MLS Cup Playoffs in all seven campaigns. He started 208 of 209 MLS appearances (including playoffs) with 11 goals and 19 assists and is one of 26 players in MLS history to start 25 or more postseason matches. Since retirement, Vermes has continued to grow the game at all levels and holds a USSF “A” coaching license. In 2003, he began his current role as Technical Director of Blue Valley Soccer Club and as Technical Director of the Super-Y League. He founded U.S. Youth Futsal in 2004 and remains on their leadership team today. He also served as an assistant coach on the United States Under-20 Men’s National Team that won their group at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. In November 2006, two months after Sporting Club purchased the then-Kansas City Wizards from the Hunt Sports Group, Vermes was named the team’s Technical Director to oversee all soccer operations for the club. In 2009, Vermes became the team’s manager and his .548 winning percentage in five seasons is the best in team history. He led Sporting Kansas City to first place finishes in the Eastern Conference each of the past two seasons and their first trophy in eight years with the 2012 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup title. An MLS Coach of the Year finalist in 2011 and 2012, Vermes was selected to coach the MLS All-Stars during the 2013 MLS All-Star Game at Sporting Park. Vermes has also served on the U.S. Soccer Federation’s Board of Directors, Executive Committee and Athlete Council in addition to similar roles within Major League Soccer. He was inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Soccer Coaches of New Jersey Hall of Fame in 2009. His hometown of Delran, N.J. also honored him with the opening of Olympian Peter Vermes Soccer Park in 1989. He has been married to his wife Susan for more than 20 years and together they have a daughter, Nicole, and son, Kyle.

Kerry Zavagnin – Assistant Coach 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. 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. On top of his club success in Kansas City, Zavagnin also appeared 21 times for the United States National Team. He recorded one assist for the Red, White and Blue. The U.S. team went 15-2-4 when Zavagnin appeared. Zavagnin married his wife Mirriam prior to the 2009 season
Zoran Savic – Assistant Coach Savic joined Sporting Kansas City as an assistant coach 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. 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.
John Pascarella – Goalkeeper Coach Pascarella played professionally for nine seasons before beginning his coaching career in 1998 at the University of Maryland. Pascarella played club soccer with Sporting Kansas City Technical Director Peter Vermes. His playing experience took him to Russia and Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS. Once his playing career was over, Pascarella began coaching as a member of Sasho Cirovski’s staff at Maryland. He then went on to work in Northern Virginia youth soccer circles as a high school coach and Olympic Development Program coach before becoming the Head Coach and Technical Director of the Northern Virginia Royals of the USL’s Premier Development League for two seasons. Pascarella is married and has four children.
Mateus Manoel – Fitness Coach Manoel is in his second season with Sporting Kansas City as Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance for the team. In the summer of 2010 he was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Previously, Mateus had served as Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team during the Qualification rounds for the FIFA World Cup South Africa 2010, working with world renowned coach Sven Goran Eriksson. He then held a full-time position as Performance Specialist with Athletes’ Performance in the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles, where he worked with professional athletes from a variety of sports, including NFL, NHL, MLB and Chivas USA and LA Galaxy of the MLS. During the 2007 and 2008 seasons of MLS, Mateus had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United. Prior to joining MLS, Mateus served as Sports Performance Director for Velocity Sports Performance in Virginia. Mateus holds a Master of Science in Exercise Physiology from George Washington University, where he was also responsible for the strength and conditioning needs of the Colonials Men’s Varsity Soccer Team. He also holds a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.
