SPORTING KANSAS CITY vs SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC CHILDREN’S MERCY PARK, Kansas City, Kan. July 24, 2016 (WEEK 20, MLS Game #208) 2 p.m. CT (ESPN / ESPN Deportes; TSN4) A pair of clubs in real need of points to start moving up the Western Conference table meet when Sporting Kansas City entertain Seattle Sounders FC on Sunday afternoon at Children’s Mercy Park before an ESPN audience. Sporting return home sitting a point below the red line, suffering a second consecutive 1-0 defeat last weekend in a loss at the Colorado Rapids. Sounders FC are a further eight points back in the conference, starting their road swing with a 3-1 loss at arch-rivals Portland Timbers.

Nuno Andre Coelho scored the game’s only goal in the 73rd minute as Sporting took a 1-0 win in the season opener for both clubs, March 6 at CenturyLink Field.  The opening win ended a Sounders FC five-game home undefeated streak alive at home vs. Sporting, after SKC won 1-0 in Seattle in 2009, the first meeting ever between the clubs.  Sporting have defeated Sounders FC once all-time in six meetings in league play – a 1-0 win last June 6 at Sporting Park. Sounders FC have won four of the six MLS encounters all-time in Kansas City, with one draw.  Coaches record: Sigi Schmid vs. KC: P45 W20 L17 D8 … Peter Vermes vs. SEA: P12 W2 L7 D3 LAST MEETING [MLS]: 3/6: SEA 0, KC 1 (Coelho 73)  Sounders FC went a man down four minutes before the halftime break when Oniel Fisher was sent off with a straight red card by referee Alan Kelly.  Sporting finally broke through with 17 minutes remaining, when Nuno Andre Coelho punched in a shot from well outside the box, short-hopping Seattle 'keeper Stefan Frei, who failed to block it as he dove to stop the shot.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-2-3-1): Stefan Frei - Oniel Fisher (ejected 41), Brad Evans (Dylan Remick 90), Chad Marshall, Joevin Jones - Cristian Roldan, Osvaldo Alonso - Jordan Morris (Oalex Anderson 83), Andreas Ivanschitz, Clint Dempsey - Nelson Haedo Valdez (Zach Scott 70).  SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Chance Myers, Nuno Andre Coelho, Matt Besler, Amadou Dia - Soni Mustivar - Jordi Quintilla, Roger Espinoza - Connor Hallisey (Jimmy Medranda 82), Dom Dwyer, Graham Zusi.

SPORTING KANSAS CITY Sporting Kansas City suffered their second consecutive defeat by the game’s only goal, falling to the Colorado Rapids on Saturday evening at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Sporting are in sixth place in the Western Conference with 28 points from 22 games.

LAST MATCH  The game's only goal came in the 78th minute. Marlon Hairston first stole an errant pass then passed to Dillon Powers, taking the return ball from Powers and curling a pretty strike inside the opposite post from outside the area on the left.  Tim Howard was credited with three saves in keeping the clean sheet for the Rapids.  Sporting manager Peter Vermes made three changes to the team that lost 1-0 to the Chicago Fire at Toyota Park. Ike Opara and Lawrence Olum came back into central defense in place of Nuno Andre Coelho and Matt Besler, and Brad Davis came back into the team for Connor Hallisey.

MLS GAME INFORMATION

SPORTING KANSAS CITY (4-1-2-3): Tim Melia - Saad Abdul-Salaam, Ike Opara, Lawrence Olum, Jimmy Medranda - Soni Mustivar (Justin Mapp 86) - Roger Espinoza, Benny Feilhaber - Jacob Peterson, Dom Dwyer (Diego Rubio 79), Brad Davis (Connor Hallisey 50).

TEAM NEWS  It was a second consecutive defeat for Sporting KC – both by a 1-0 scoreline and both on the road – coming off back-to-back victories and a five-game undefeated streak.  “I think the game was very even throughout. I think both teams played hard and I think there was a couple chances here and there for both teams, but nothing special. Obviously we gave them a great opportunity on the goal that they scored,” said Sporting manager Peter Vermes.  Said midfielder Benny Feilhaber: “It was a frustrating road trip in more ways than one, but having said that, you can’t think too much about any games in this league because they come in quick succession, so we have to get our minds right and start getting points at home.”  Sporting were blanked at the offensive end for a second consecutive game, after scoring a season-high three goals in their previous two games. SKC has not scored a goal now in their last 219 minutes; it is the third time this season they’ve been shut out in back-to-back matches.  “It was a tough game, there weren’t a lot of chances. I’ve got to watch it back but I think a lot of games that are played that way come out 0-0, so we’re disappointed to give up a late goal. And we were pushing up forward giving them a couple counterattacks, but overall I don’t think we necessarily deserved to lose,” said Jacob Peterson.  Sporting have been shut out offensively seven times this season, losing by the game’s only goal on five occasions. The seven attacking shutouts are tied for third-most in MLS this season (also: FC Dallas; D.C. United and New York Red Bulls have eight each).  “It’s difficult playing Colorado, when they send the ball long and try to break up the plays,” striker Dom Dwyer said. “We just tried to break them down, but we couldn’t. I think we got very unlucky tonight. We should have had two, maybe three of those chances go in.”  Lawrence Olum was the only starter who did not feature in the Chicago match who came into the team, returning to central defense and playing 90 minutes. Ike Opara also returned to the starting lineup, but had come on as a substitute for an injured Nuno Andre Coelho after 21 minutes at midweek.  Justin Mapp came off the substitutes’ bench for a fourth consecutive match, now having made six appearances in league play this year, all as a substitute.

SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC Seattle Sounders FC weren’t able to build upon a first win in five games, suffering a 3-1 loss to the Portland Timbers on Sunday afternoon at Providence Park. Sounders FC are in ninth place in the Western Conference with 20 points from 19 games.

LAST MATCH  The Timbers took the lead one minute before halftime when Valeri finished off a nice combination with Lucas Melano, curling a precise strike into the bottom right corner of the goal from the edge of the box.  Portland doubled its lead in the 50th minute when Valeri took a long cross-field ball, popped it over a defender then hit an audacious lob from a difficult angle that sailed over Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei and bounced in off the far post.  Sounders FC cut the lead by one in the 59th minute when defender Chad Marshall powered home a header from a corner kick from the center of the box.  But the margin was restored five minutes later after Melano ventured deep into Seattle’s half with the ball, finding Fanendo Adi in the left of the box, and he struck a first-time shot that settled in the back of the net.  Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid made two changes to the team that rolled to a 5-0 win against FC Dallas at CenturyLink Field. Tyrone Mears came in at fullback for Oniel Fisher, and Nelson Haedo Valdez started up top for the suspended Clint Dempsey.  SEATTLE SOUNDERS FC (4-1-2-3): Stefan Frei - Tyrone Mears, Brad Evans, Chad Marshall, Joevin Jones (Dylan Remick 72) - Osvaldo Alonso - Cristian Roldan, Erik Friberg - Jordan Morris, Nelson Haedo Valdez (Herculez Gomez 77), Andreas Ivanschitz (Aaron Kovar 72).

TEAM NEWS  Sounders FC saw their road winless run extended to three games in the loss at the Timbers. Sounders FC have won just twice in their last 10 matches overall, dating back to May 14, with seven defeats in that time.  “It’s three points with our rival. If you can’t get up for these games then I don’t know what you’re doing here.

Especially in the situation that we’re in right now, we need every point we can get,” said Sounders FC goalkeeper Stefan Frei. It’s do or die for us. For me and for, I think, most of the players the focus was three points and that slipped through our hands today.”  The three goals allowed by Sounders FC matches their season-high, also allowing three goals in the 3-1 loss to the Colorado Rapids on April 23.

“We did have opportunities. We also knew what they were going to do,” Frei said. “We should have been ready for it. Out of their three goals, two were essentially off counters. We should have done better on that.”

Said defender Brad Evans: “We’re playing good, playing confident. From a corner kick they come down and score off a counter attack. Teams aren’t scoring, like I said before, these magnificent goals on us. It’s errors on our part. We got to somehow cut these errors out and get focused. Sounds like a broken record.”

Chad Marshall scored his third goal of the season, his first since netting in back-to-back games April 10-16.

The three goals are a single-season career-most since scoring four goals in back-to-back seasons 2008 and 2009 for the Columbus Crew.

Andreas Ivanschitz collected an assist on the goal, his second consecutive game with an assist, his first assists since April 16.

Nelson Haedo Valdez returned to the starting lineup after a one-match absence, as did fullback Tyrone Mears.

“Sometimes we’re looking to beat people and totally outplay the guy before we shoot it rather than shooting when we have a little bit of space. If you shoot with a little bit of space then all of the sudden, a guy sticks a knee out, it can deflect, all kinds of things can happen. I think that’s an area [our attackers can improve],” said Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid: On Wednesday, Sounders FC were bounced out of the U.S. Open Cup in a 4-2 loss to the LA Galaxy in a quarterfinal match at StubHub Center. Herculez Gomez had given Sounders FC a 2-1 lead with a half-hour remaining, but Giovani dos Santos netted the equalizer, then Sebastian Lletget scored twice in a four-minute span to send the Galaxy through to the final four.

Here’s the Sounders FC team: Tyler Miller; Dylan Remick, Tony Alfaro, Zach Scott, Oniel Fisher; Michael Farfan, Nathan Sturgis (Brad Evans 76'), Zach Mathers; Oalex Anderson (Jordan Morris 82'), Herculez Gomez, Aaron Kovar (Cristian Roldan 66')

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 24, 2016 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes #SKCvSEA: HEAD-TO-HEAD

#SKCvSEA: BY THE NUMBERS

Sporting KC has a 3-7-3 regular season record against Seattle, including a 1-4-1 mark in Kansas City. The lone home win came in the most recent meeting at Children’s Mercy Park on June 6, 2015 — a cagey affair decided by Benny Feilhaber’s 84th-minute penalty kick. Sporting KC is unbeaten in a franchiserecord four straight MLS matches against Seattle, winning two and drawing two since the start of 2015. Prior to this stretch, Sporting KC had just one win in 10 all-time league meetings with Sounders FC. That first victory came in the inaugural game between the clubs in April 2009 at CenturyLink Field.

The regular season series has been characterized by closely fought, lowscoring battles. Neither side has won by more than one goal in all 13 regular season meetings. In those 13 games, the clubs have combined for more than three goals just once (Oct. 17, 2009), while five of the last six matches have produced one goal or less. Sounders FC have managed just one goal in the last four regular season meetings, including a 1-0 home defeat when the clubs met in the 2016 season opener on March 6. Nuno Coelho’s 73rd-minute strike from distance gave Sigi Schmid’s men their first of five home losses this year.

Sounders FC have a history of leaving it late against Sporting KC, scoring eight of their 13 goals in the series after the 75th minute. In 11 meetings since 2010, Seattle has scored five game-winning goals in second half stoppage time.

Sporting KC and Seattle are two of three MLS clubs, along with LA Galaxy, to win multiple major trophies since 2011 (among MLS Cup, Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup and MLS Supporters’ Shield). Sporting KC lifted the 2012 and 2015 Open Cups and were 2013 MLS Cup champions. The Sounders were 2011 and 2014 Open Cup champions and claimed the 2014 Supporters’ Shield. Sporting KC has made five straight postseason appearances since 2011, while Sounders FC have been to the playoffs in all seven years of their existence. #SKCvSEA Regular Season Meetings Date 04/11/2009 10/17/2009 04/17/2010 10/09/2010 05/21/2011 08/06/2011 06/20/2012 05/08/2013 03/08/2014 05/23/2015 06/06/2015 09/27/2015 03/06/2016

NOTEWORTHY MILESTONES • Winger Graham Zusi is one shy of his 150th start in the MLS regular season.

• Defender Matt Besler is one shy of his 195th career regular season appearance for Sporting KC, which would tie Jack Jewsbury for seventh most in club history.

• Goalkeeper Tim Melia is one shy of his 50th career start in the MLS regular season.

• Forward Jacob Peterson is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance in the MLS regular season. He would be the fifth player in league history to reach that milestone. Peterson is also one shy of his 125th appearance for Sporting KC in all competitions.

• Midfielder Brad Davis has 40 game-winning assists in the regular season, one shy of tying Landon Donovan and Steve Ralston for the all-time MLS lead.

#SKCvSEA: PLAYER HISTORY • Tim Melia has recorded shutouts in all three of his MLS appearances against Sounders FC, posting a 2-0-1 record with nine saves.

• Benny Feilhaber converted a penalty kick in the 84th minute of Sporting KC’s 1-0 win over Seattle on June 6, 2015, at Children’s Mercy Park.

• Dom Dwyer scored a 78th-minute equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Seattle on Sept. 27, 2015, at Children’s Mercy Park.

• Jacob Peterson has one goal and one assist for Sporting KC in nine matches against Seattle. He scored in the eighth minute of a 1-1 draw at CenturyLink Field on June 20, 2012, and recorded the game-tying assist in a 1-1 draw last September at Children’s Mercy Park.

• Clint Dempsey has three goals in 13 regular season appearances against Sporting KC, all as a member of the New England Revolution from 20042006. Dempsey is the only player on Seattle’s current roster to score a regular season goal against Sporting KC. • Chad Marshall has faced Sporting KC 29 times during his regular season career, third most among active players behind Brad Davis (31) and Justin Mapp (30), who coincidentally joined Sporting KC this offseason.

Sporting KC Game Notes | July 24, 2016 vs. Seattle Sounders FC | SportingKC.com/Game-Notes SPORTING KANSAS CITY NEWS AND NOTES CRUCIAL STRETCH AWAITS SPORTING KC SKC LOANS FOUR TO SWOPE PARK RANGERS Sporting KC has reached the proverbial crossroads of its 2016 regular season.

Peter Vermes’ men are currently seventh place in the West, one point outside of playoff position, and the club’s next five opponents are from within the conference.

Sporting KC announced Tuesday that the club has loaned four players — midfielder Emmanuel Appiah, defenders Kevin Ellis and Chance Myers, and goalkeeper Alec Kann — to the Swope Park Rangers ahead of Wednesday’s USL match at Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC. Appiah, Ellis, Myers and Kann join Sporting KC defender Ever Alvarado and goalkeeper Jon Kempin on loan at the club’s USL affiliate.

First up is Seattle Sounders FC (6-11-2, 20 pts), who will be desperate for a result on Sunday to keep their thinning postseason hopes alive. Back-to-back games against the MLS Cup champion Portland Timbers will follow on July 31 (home) and Aug. 7 (away), and the outcome of the two-game set could go a long way determining who finishes above the red line in the West. Portland is a single point ahead of Sporting KC in the table with one game in hand.

Appiah, a 22-year-old rookie, signed for Sporting KC last Tuesday. The University of Cincinnati product joined the Colorado Rapids in January as the No. 15 overall pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft, playing two matches on loan at USL club Charlotte Independence before parting ways with Colorado on June 30.

Sporting KC will then travel to face FC Dallas, the MLS Supporters’ Shield leaders, on Aug. 13. Oscar Pareja’s men have been sensational at home, posting an 8-0-3 record at Toyota Stadium while outscoring opponents 23-7. The crucial stretch will then conclude with a home game against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The Caps are currently level on points with Portland, and together the clubs occupy the last two postseason spots in the West.

Alvarado signed for Sporting KC on June 24 from C.D. Olimpia, just a month removed from his third career Liga Nacional title. The 24-year-old left back spent three seasons with Olimpia, playing 73 games in all competitions and netting six goals. Alvarado has also earned six caps for the Honduras National Team and scored his first international goal against Nicaragua in January.

LAST TIME OUT: SKC FOILED BY RAPIDS AGAIN

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson has started 137 of his 236 career regular season appearances. He is one shy of his 100th substitute appearance, the fifth most in MLS history. Should he hit the century mark, Peterson would join elite company among other heralded players, including MLS’s No. 2 all-time leading scorer Jeff Cunningham (134 regular season goals).

Sub appearances (GP-GS) Player (MLS career) 1. Jeff Cunningham (1998-2011) 132 (365-233) 2. Alan Gordon (2004 - ) 110 (234-124) 3. Dominic Oduro (2006 - ) 108 (299-191) 4. Andy Williams (1998-2011) 101 (332-231) 5. Jacob Peterson (2006 - ) 99 (236-137)

PETERSON POISED FOR 100TH SUB APPEARANCE

Sporting KC took its second straight 1-0 defeat last Saturday night, falling to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. Second-half substitute Marlon Hairston scored the game-winner in the 78th minute, giving the Rapids (10-2-7, 37 points) their third win over Sporting KC (8-10-4, 28 points) this season.

The result dropped Sporting KC to seventh place in the Western Conference table and extended Colorado’s club-record unbeaten run to 14 games. The Rapids earned their fifth consecutive win in the regular season series, while Sporting KC’s road winless skid hit nine games. In each of Colorado’s three wins over Sporting KC this season, the match was tied entering the final 15 minutes.

With his team playing its third game in seven days, Manager Peter Vermes made two changes to the starting lineup from last Wednesday’s 1-0 setback at the Chicago Fire. Lawrence Olum earned his 100th appearance for the club in all competitions, replacing Matt Besler in central defense, while Connor Hallisey made way for Brad Davis on the left side of a three-pronged attack.

Midfielder Roger Espinoza started his 150th regular season match in Kansas City colors, and goalkeeper Tim Melia played his 50th game for the team across all competitions.

VERMES TWO SHY OF 100 REGULAR SEASON WINS

Peter Vermes has now coached 277 matches for Kansas City in all competitions with a 122-90-65 record. He passed Bob Gansler as the longest-tenured manager in club history on June 19 when Sporting KC beat FC Dallas 2-0. Last August, Vermes passed Gansler as the winningest coach in Sporting KC history.

His 98 regular season victories are eighth most in MLS history and fifth most among active coaches behind Sigi Schmid (228), Bruce Arena (198), Dominic Kinnear (158) and Jason Kreis (100).

MATT BESLER NAMED AN MLS ALL-STAR

Sporting KC defender Matt Besler has been named to the MLS All Star Fan XI on ahead of the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game on July 28. Besler, 29, earns MLS AllStar accolades for the fifth time in his career, third most in club history behind Preki (seven) and Jimmy Conrad (six). The center back has played 12 MLS matches this season, anchoring a defense that has faced a league-low 9.0 shots per game and ranks fourth with a 1.14 goals against average.

A native of Overland Park, Kansas, Besler scored the third goal of his professional career in the 91st minute of a 3-2 victory over Columbus Crew SC on July 3. It was his first appearance for Sporting KC since spending the month of June with the United States Men’s National Team, where he started two matches at Copa America Centenario.

78 STRAIGHT AND COUNTING

Children’s Mercy Park has sold out 81 consecutive MLS matches dating back to April 2012 (including four playoff games) and 93 of 102 league matches since opening in 2011. The 18,467-seat venue has averaged 105 percent capacity over the last five MLS seasons, drawing more than 19,400 fans per game.

SPORTING KC ACQUIRES CAMERON PORTER IN TRADE

Sporting KC acquired 23-year-old forward Cameron Porter from the Montreal Impact last Tuesday in exchange for defender Amadou Dia.

THREE TITLES IN FOUR YEARS

When Sporting KC lifted the 2015 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup last September, it became the fifth MLS club to win three major trophies in a four-year span since 2005, joining Seattle, D.C. United, LA Galaxy and Columbus Crew SC. Should Sporting KC add to its trophy haul in 2016, it would join LA as the only MLS clubs to win four titles in a five-year span since 2005.

Montreal selected Porter with the 45th overall pick in the 2015 MLS SuperDraft.

He played five matches during his rookie campaign, including two MLS appearances and three games in the CONCACAF Champions League knockout stage.

Sporting KC Seattle Sounders FC D.C. United LA Galaxy Columbus Crew SC

Porter scored one of Montreal’s most important goals in club history on March 4, 2015, netting a 94th-minute equalizer against Mexican side CF Pachuca in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals. His first professional tally, scored before a crowd of 38,104 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal, sent the Impact to the semifinals and allowed the club to eventually finish runners-up in the tournament. Porter suffered an ACL tear to his left knee two weeks later and missed the remainder of the 2015 season. A native of Centerville, Ohio, Porter made his 2016 debut on June 4 and started four matches this past month for USL club FC Montreal.

Sporting KC Coach Bios | July 24, 2016 vs. Seattle Sounders 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 enters his eighth season as Sporting Kansas City Manager in 2016. He is the team’s longest-serving manager and his 122 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 second coach to lead Sporting KC to five 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 98 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 277 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 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 184 MLS matches and playing more than 16,000 minutes. In 2013, Vermes was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

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.

Assistant Coach | John Pascarella Assistant Coach John 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 Peru before he returned to the United States to play in the A-League and MLS.

Fitness Coach | Mateus Manoel

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.

Mateus Manoel is in his seventh season with Sporting KC as Head Fitness Coach. His responsibilities cover all aspects of sport performance and science for the team, including strength and conditioning, injury prevention, field practices, nutrition, fitness monitoring (training load and readiness), player re-adaptation following rehab and recovery.

Pascarella joined Kansas City’s technical staff in 2009 and was a goalkeeper and fitness coach until 2011, when he became an assistant.

In the summer of 2010, Manoel was an Assistant Fitness Coach for the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team during the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. He had formerly served as the Head Fitness Coach for the Mexican Men’s National Team in 2009, working with renowned coach Sven-Goran Eriksson.

During 2007 and 2008, Manoel held a position 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 MLS (Chivas USA and LA Galaxy). Previously, he had assisted with strength and conditioning for D.C. United from the MLS, while concurrently holding the position of Sports Performance Director with Velocity Sports Performance in Alexandria, Virginia.

Manoel holds a Master’s degree 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 the University of Maryland - College Park and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Manoel was born in Brazil and is fluent in both Portuguese and Spanish.

SOUNDERS FC SOUNDBYTES Head Coach Sigi Schmid: On playing in Kansas City: “It’s going to be an interesting game, certainly an important game, but you’re also dealing with extreme weather conditions right now in Kansas City, so that’s going to make for a slower game than what it would normally be with the heat, humidity and the kickoff time that we have.

It’s important that we finish opportunities when they get presented.”

On the rotation of the squad: “It’s good for us to rotate around, especially since KC didn’t play midweek, so we’ll get some fresh legs out there on the field is important. As I said, the game on Sunday will be a unique game, and we will have to manage the game a little bit differently than we normally do.”

COACHING CORNER Sporting KC is led under the direction of Head Coach Peter Vermes, who has recorded 98 wins since taking the job in 2009. As a player, Vermes made over 300 club appearances. His final stop was with Kansas City, where he made 78 appearances over a three-season span. Vermes was capped by the USMNT 66 times from 1988-1997.

SOUNDERS FC WEEKLY NOTES RAVE FOUNDATION LAUNCHES LAST MATCH REWIND: PORTLAND • Sounders FC is now 6-11-2 in the 2016 MLS regular season, including a 1-62 record on the road in league play. With 20 points, the Rave Green remain in ninth place in the Western Conference.

• Seattle’s record becomes 7-4-4 all-time in MLS action versus Portland, including a 2-4-2 mark at Providence Park.

• Sunday’s match was the 93rd meeting between all competitions between the two sides, dating back to 1975 in the North American Soccer League. Seattle holds the all-time advantage with a record of 47-34-12.

• Seattle remains at the bottom of the table for the 2016 Cascadia Cup after Sunday’s result. Vancouver and Portland are tied with six points apiece through three matches, while Seattle has yet to earn a point with one game in-hand.

• Chad Marshall scored his third goal of the season in the 59th minute, which is one shy of his career-high set in 2008 and 2009 with Columbus. He is currently tied with forward Clint Dempsey for the second-most goals on the season for Sounders FC. Andreas Ivanschitz was credited with his team-leading fifth assist of the season.

• After being called for a yellow card in the second half, midfielder Osvaldo Alonso will be suspended for the next MLS match versus Sporting KC due to

SEATTLE DROPPED FROM USOC Despite goals from Michael Farfan and Herculez Gomez, Seattle Sounders FC fell 4-2 on the road to the LA Galaxy Wednesday evening as the Rave Green were eliminated in the Quarterfinals of the 2016 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Seattle took the lead twice in the midweek fixture, but Galaxy secured advancement in the domestic tournament via a late brace from Sebastien Lletget, as well as strikes from Alan Gordon and Giovani dos Santos.

Seattle got off the mark quickly in Southern California, as Farfan intercepted a Galaxy pass in the final third, allowing him to break through on goal and slot a smooth finish past Clement Diop to give Seattle and early 1-0 lead.

Wednesday night’s match was Farfan’s first with the Sounders FC First Team this season, having previously made six appearances for S2 in addition to a performance against West Ham United in an international friendly earlier this month.

The home side equalized in the 17th minute, as Gordan found the back of the net, redirecting a pass from teammate Baggio Husidic past Seattle’s Tyler Miller. The two sides went into the break deadlocked at one goal apiece following the first 45 minutes of play. Seattle’s go-ahead goal came in the 58th minute, as Gomez got on the end of a Dylan Remick lofted through ball, burying his shot at an extremely acute angle.

A flurry of late goals propelled Bruce Arena’s squad into the Semifinals, beginning in the 77th minute when dos Santos intercepted a Zach Scott pass along the backline and converted past Miller for the Galaxy equalizer. The score remained 2-2 until Lletget tallied twice in the final five minutes of play, first tapping in a cross from Baggio Husidic for the lead before adding an insurance tally three minutes later to finish the match 4-2 for the home side.

MATCH NOTES • Sounders FC falls to 22-3-4 in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup play, including a 4-2-3 mark on the road.

Seattle Sounders FC announced this week the launch of the RAVE Foundation, which now serves as the official philanthropic arm of the organization.

Centered on the mantra of “Small Fields. Big Ideas,” the RAVE Foundation is a 501c-3 charity founded to serve the greater Puget Sound community. Its mission is to build small, accessible soccer fields in urban areas that provide free play to shape young citizens, strengthen communities and encourage physical activity. The first of these fields is set to be constructed as part of a brand new Yesler Park with construction starting in 2017. On Monday, July 25, media are invited to the Yesler Community Center to observe a Sounders FC Alumni-run youth clinic and hear from key stakeholders as part of a week-long series of events through the RAVE Foundation ahead of Sounders FC’s full-stadium, nationally-televised matchup versus the LA Galaxy on July 31 (1:00 p.m. PT / ESPN, KIRO Radio, El Rey 1360 AM).

The RAVE Foundation relies on three core strategies: to use soccer as a vehicle to empower and inspire, to remove barriers on and off the field and to strengthen communities. These small fields constructed through the RAVE Foundation encourage physical activity, creativity and wellness, while also catalyzing community-wide relationships to address inequities. The urban and accessible fields provide a new platform for partners to connect with the club.

These partners and their equity causes include: America SCORES Seattle (Education), Street Soccer Seattle (Homelessness), WYS Soccer for Success (Health and Wellness), Special Olympics Washington (Inclusion), Sounders in Schools (Leadership), Rainier Scholars (Mentorship), UWKC Breakfast Challenge (Nutrition).

Additional community partners, including the Seattle Parks Department, Seattle Parks Foundation, King County Parks and Friends of the Waterfront, are set to partner and support RAVE Foundation initiatives.

Along with the launch of the Foundation, Sounders FC unveiled the Soccer Octagon - a transportable, Sounders FC / RAVE Foundation-branded enclosed field that promotes technical soccer through free play. In addition to popping-up at Waterfront Park each weekend in July, the Soccer Octagon is set to appear in Soccer Celebration outside of CenturyLink Field prior to Sounders FC’s matches, including July 31 against the LA Galaxy. It is scheduled to appear at several locations during the week of July 25 - July 31, with Sounders FC and the RAVE Foundation planning events in distinct Seattle locations to promote the launch of the foundation. An entire rundown of that week’s schedule can be found below:

ALL-STAR SOUNDERS Seattle Sounders FC forward Clint Dempsey has been named to the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star gameday roster, marking the third consecutive mid-season honor for Dempsey and his sixth overall MLS All-Star selection, with the U.S. Men’s National Team veteran earning MLS AllStar honors from 2004-2006 while with the New England Revolution to accompany his three selections with Sounders FC. This year’s summer showcase features a collection of world-renowned talent, domestic stars and young up-and-comers against English Premier League side Arsenal on Thursday, July 28 at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California.

Additionally, forward Jordan Morris and midfielder Aaron Kovar were selected to the Homegrown Roster for the 2016 Chipotle MLS Homegrown Game taking place on Wednesday, July 27. Landon Donovan helps a squad of MLS Homegrown Players that is set to take on the Mexico U-20 National Team on the eve of the 2016 AT&T MLS All-Star Game.

• LA Galaxy holds a 2-0-0 advantage over Seattle across all competitions in 2016. The Galaxy topped the Rave Green by a score of 1-0 on July 9 in Seattle. The two sides meet for the third time this month in Seattle on July 31 in a full-stadium MLS regular season match at CenturyLink Field.

• In his first competitive appearance for Sounders FC, midfielder Michael Farfan recorded one goal and one assist. His fourth-minute tally ties the club’s tournament record for second-fastest goal, joining Nate Jaqua’s goal versus the LA Galaxy in the Quarterfinals of the 2011 tournament.

• In the second half, forward Herculez Gomez scored his first goal in a competitive match for Sounders FC. Gomez also netted a goal in the friendly versus West Ham United and added a converted penalty-kick during the shootout against Real Salt Lake in the previous round of the tournament last month.

BY THE NUMBERS 1: Loss in seven games this season when Jordan Morris scores a goal (5-11).

5: Stoppage-time game-winners scored by Sounders FC against Sporting Kansas City in MLS regular season play.

11: Saves needed by Stefan Frei to match Kasey Keller’s club record of 270.

SOUNDERS FC HISTORY HEAD COACH SIGI SCHMID Named the first Head Coach of Seattle Sounders FC on December 16, 2008, Sigi Schmid is the winningest coach in MLS history. Since 1999, Schmid’s teams have won nine major titles, including two MLS Cups.

A two-time MLS Coach of the Year, Schmid has led Sounders FC to seven-consecutive appearances in the MLS Cup Playoffs, marking the second-longest active streak while nearing the record for most consecutive postseason appearances by an expansion team.

Schmid also guided Sounders FC to a record three-straight Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup titles, becoming the first team in 42 years to win back-to-back championships.

Schmid joined Sounders FC in its inaugural campaign after leading the Columbus Crew to its first MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, earning MLS Coach of the Year honors in 2008. From 1999 through 2004, Schmid’s L.A. Galaxy teams won four major competitions: the 2002 MLS Cup and Supporters’ Shield, the 2001 U.S. Open Cup and the 2001 CONCACAF Champions Cup. He was voted the MLS Coach of the Year in his first season, 1999. Altogether, his Galaxy teams were 79-53-32 and reached the MLS Cup final four times, winning three division crowns.

Schmid has twice served as the U.S. U-20 National Team head coach, most recently in 2005 at the FIFA World Championships. Schmid first forged a winning tradition at his alma mater, UCLA. After serving as an assistant, he was elevated to head coach of the Bruins in 1980, beginning a 19-year run at the helm.

He claimed three national titles (1985, 1990, 1997) and was named national coach of the year following the 1997 championship. His UCLA teams accumulated a record of 322-64-33. Schmid ranks No. 1 in MLS career victories (228) and games coached (505). Overall, Schmid’s record in MLS is 228-164-113.

His combined postseason win total (26) is the second-highest in MLS history.
