My first time seeing him, and it was a quick presser not even half an hour long, I am sure he is busy right now. It is never good when a coach loses his job, but if you are hamstrung by the finances to get what you need to get the job done, someone must be the fall guy and it will not be one nearer to top. Over this question and answer session, he kept repeating that he wants the team to play a better quality of soccer, to play their game, to fulfill the expectations of the club.

Though disappoointing, this comes as no surprise, the team has not been playing well, the adjustments to the roster did not stick, the goal production has been on life support, yet he has not gotten any new horses in to win races. They say coaches are hired to be fired, yes that is how most end their time with teams, but a local product, USMNT player and great MLS player to be let go by his hometown team is not easy.

By now the game has been postponed, and rescheduled for this Wed. they had a game postponed during Cup play, thus far no word on it so why wait. In that we had not seen each other I of course began with checking on how he and his have been during this very odd year of 2020 relative to the Coronavirus crisis, thankfully all back in KC are fine in that regard.

Who did in fact play down to the level of who in Red Bull Arena? The United were down a good 7 players to injury etc., yet New York was unable to take advantage of that. An anemic offense with a massive vacum without BWP again showed it ugly head, the defense did a decent job on an overmatched opponent, right up until the very end + extra time, again, that must be something mental. A loss of concentration, lower focus due to the game being just about over, I cannot say what, but you do not play well enough for 90+ minutes then forget how and give up a goal.

In little more than 24 hours, the Peter Vermes led squad will take on FC Dallas. Both teams have been in MLS since the word go, both under different monikers. try on Wizards and Burn, yeah, I woulda' changed also.
SKC comes in off an away tie with the Rapids 1-1 but their 16 points are well ahead of those 9 that Dallas now have.
With the Unified Government of Wyandotte County @ KC KS, there will be many precatutions in place as they will go with a 14% or so seating capacity. Only season ticket holders are in the lottery to gain access.
