BIOGRAPHIES TECHNICAL STAFF

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 .554 winning percentage in six seasons is the best in team history. His .600 winning postseason winning percentage (5-3-2) is also a franchise best.

He led Sporting Kansas City to first place finishes in the Eastern Conference in 2011 and 2012 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.

After Sporting Kansas City’s MLS Cup triumph on Dec. 7, 2013, Vermes became the first person to win MLS Cup as a player and coach for the same club. The championship capped a campaign that also saw Sporting Kansas City compete in the CONCACAF Champions League for the first time in eight years and come within a point of the Supporters’ Shield title.

This season, Vermes became the first coach in club history to guide Kansas City to four straight appearances in the MLS Cup Playoffs. His club was also the only MLS side to make a second straight appearance in the CONCACAF Champions League as the League’s reigning champions competed in the 2014-15 group stage.

Vermes has 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.

The 20-year-old Juliao contributed three assists in all competitions as a right back and led all MLS defenders with 39 dribbles completed and 52 fouls suffered in 2014. During a season that saw Sporting KC suit up the youngest field player (Erik Palmer-Brown, 17) and goalkeeper (Jon Kempin, 21) in MLS this year, Juliao became the youngest player in club history to start 20 MLS matches for the team. All 23 of his MLS appearances were starts.

Sporting KC’s 2014 Co-Newcomer of the Year, Juliao is a member of Brazil’s Under-20 Men’s National Team and currently on loan from Fluminense FC. He joined Fluminense’s academy in 2003 and made his debut in Campeonato Brasileiro Série A as a 17-year-old in August 2012.

RULES OF COMPETITION The following competition guidelines will be in effect for the entirety of the 2014 MLS Cup Playoffs. ALL PLAYOFF MATCHES

Unlike the Regular Season, all playoff matches will be played in their entirety. If a match is cancelled prior to its completion, regardless of the score, the match will be resumed from the moment it was stopped.

KNOCKOUT ROUND MATCHES (4 v 5)

If the score is tied at the end of regulation (90 minutes), then an additional 30 minutes (consisting of two 15-minute halves) will be played in its entirety.

o If the score is still tied at the end of the additional 30 minutes, then the match will be decided by kicks from the penalty mark (in accordance with FIFA regulations).

CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS (HOME and AWAY SERIES)

If the score of the first match is tied at the end of regulation (90 minutes), then the match will end in a tie with no overtime being played.

The team that has scored the most total goals over the course of the two matches will advance to the Conference Championship.

If total goals are level, the team with the most away goals advances.

If total goals and away goals are level, there will be 2 X 15-minute extra time played in its entirety. Away goals do not count in extra time

If there is no winner after extra time, then the match will be decided by kicks from the penalty mark (in accordance with FIFA regulations).

CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP (HOME and AWAY SERIES)

SAME RULES AS SEMI-FINALS; SEE SECTION ABOVE

3

MLS CUP

If the score of MLS Cup is tied at the end of regulation (90 minutes), then an additional 30 minutes (consisting of two 15-minute halves) will be played in its entirety.

o If the score is still tied at the end of the additional 30 minutes, then the match will be decided by kicks from the penalty mark (in accordance with FIFA regulations).

MLS Cup will be hosted by the participant that amassed the most points in the Regular Season. The

hosting Club will be accorded all normal advantages associated with home field including locker room, bench position and uniform priority. However, the match will be operated by League Office staff and its designees.

o If both participating Clubs amassed the same point total in the Regular Season, then normal playoff tie-breakers will be used to determine the host.

All matters related to the playing surface will remain consistent with how they were managed in the

Regular Season. That is, items such as field size, grass cut, grass length and grass watering will all be done as was verified by the League Office prior to the start of the season.

EXTRA TIME (ADDITIONAL 30 MINUTES)

Throughout the Playoffs and MLS Cup, all extra time periods will be played in two equal halves with change of ends at intermission. Extra time will begin approximately three (3) minutes after regulation. Teams will have approximately one minute to switch ends at intermission.

A toss of the coin will occur at the end of regulation and the team that wins the toss decides which goal it will attack in the first 15-minute interval.

SUBSTITUTIONS and PENALTY KICKS

Substitutions will be conducted according to the same rules employed during the Regular Season. No additional substitutions over and above the regular three (3) substitutes per match will be permitted in any 30-minute series tiebreaker or kicks from the penalty mark. Once a player leaves the field having been substituted, he will not be permitted to re-enter throughout the duration of the match including any applicable 30-minute series tiebreaker or kicks from the penalty mark. In the case of a goalkeeper injury during kicks from the penalty mark, please note the following:

o A goalkeeper who is injured while kicks are being taken from the penalty mark and is unable to continue as a goalkeeper may be replaced by a named substitute provided his team has not used the maximum number of substitutes permitted under the competition rules. With the exception of the foregoing case, only players who are on the field of play at the end of the match, which includes extra time where appropriate, are eligible to take kicks from the penalty mark.

An equal number of players from each team is required only at the start of kicks from the penalty mark. If a team ends the match having fewer number of players due to a sendoff or injury after all allotted substitutions have been made, the team with the greater number must “reduce to equate”. The captain of the team with the greater number must identify the player(s) to be excluded from participating in kicks from the penalty mark as a means of making equal the number of eligible players on each team.

PLAYOFF DISCIPLINARY PARAMETERS

Yellow Card accumulation thresholds are re-set entering MLS Cup Playoffs o A player who exceeds an accumulation threshold in the last Regular Season match (e.g.,

5th, 8th, etc.) IS ELIGIBLE for the Playoffs and IS ELIGIBLE for the first Regular Season Match of 2015

o A player who receives a Red Card in his last Regular Season match IS SUSPENDED for the next match for which he is eligible including a Playoff Match or the first Regular Season Match of 2015

o A player sanctioned by the Disciplinary Committee will have any corresponding suspension applied to the next match(es) for which he is eligible including a Playoff Match(es)

Once the Playoffs begin and up until MLS Cup (when Yellow Card accumulation for Playoffs will be re-set again), a player accumulating TWO (2) Yellow Cards will be suspended for the next match for which he is eligible (with one exception noted below)

o A player who accumulates TWO (2) Yellow Cards in any of the following matches IS SUSPENDED for his next match: Knockout Match, Conference Semi-Final #1, Conference Semi-Final #2, Conference Final #1

o EXCEPTION: A player who earns his second Yellow Card in Conference Final #2 IS ELIGIBLE to play in MLS Cup. In other words, Playoff Yellow Card accumulation re-sets entering MLS Cup (or after

the Conference Finals).

A player who earns TWO (2) Yellow Cards in the same match IS SUSPENDED for the next match for which he is eligible including MLS Cup

o Also, in an instance where a player earns TWO (2) Yellow Cards in the same match, both Yellow Cards WILL NOT COUNT against his Playoff Yellow Card accumulation. (This is different from the regular season). In other words, if a player earns a Yellow Card in the Knockout Match and then two

Yellow Cards in his Conference Semi-Final #2, that player would be suspended for Conference Final #1 (due to the Red Card/Double Caution) but he would remain on ONE (1) Yellow Card for his accumulation total. (If his club does not advance, the Red Card suspension would carry to the 2015 Regular Season.)

A player who earns a STRAIGHT RED CARD in the same match in which he previously has earned his second cumulative Yellow Card MAY BE SUSPENDED for his next TWO (2) Playoff Matches

o For example, a player earns a Yellow Card in the Knockout Match. He then earns a Yellow Card (his 2nd cumulatively) in Conference Semi-Final #2 AND a STRAIGHT RED CARD (different from earning a second Yellow Card) in the same match. The player IS SUSPENDED for Conference Final #1 (due to the Red Card) AND IS SUSPENDED for the Conference Final #2 (due to Playoff Yellow Card accumulation).

o However, if a player earns a Yellow Card in Conference Semi-Final #2 and then earns both a Yellow Card (his 2nd cumulatively) in Conference Final #1 AND a STRAIGHT RED CARD in the same match, then the player IS SUSPENDED for the Conference Final #2 (due to the Red Card) but IS NOT SUSPENDED for MLS Cup as the Yellow Card accumulation re-sets entering MLS Cup.

A player who earns a Red Card in any Playoff Match, whether a straight Red Card or Two Yellow Cards, IS SUSPENDED for his next match (if this occurs in MLS Cup, then the suspension carries over to the first Regular Season Match of 2015).

A player sanctioned by the Disciplinary Committee will have any corresponding suspension applied

to the next match(es) for which he is eligible including a Playoff Match(es) and MLS Cup.

MLSCUP PLAYOFFS: 18-YEAR HISTORY While the MLS Cup championship game itself has remained a constant throughout the first 18 seasons of Major League Soccer – a dramatic one-match finale at a venue announced well in advance of the postseason – the road to MLS Cup has varied slightly over the years: 1996 Who Qualified: The top four teams from both the Eastern and Western Conferences were seeded to start the conference semifinals, with the 1 seeds playing the number 4’s and the No. 2’s vs. No. 3’s. Format: Both the Conference Semifinals (first round) and Conference Finals (second round) were designed on a Best-of-Three format with the first game hosted by the lower-seeded team and the final two games (Game Three if necessary) at the home of the higher seeded team. The first team to win two games in regulation or via the shootout advanced to the next playoff round (since the shootout was in place from 1996-1999 no games ended in ties). 1997 - 1999 Who Qualified: As in 1996, the top four teams in each conference advanced to the MLS Cup Playoffs. Format: As in 1996, a Best-of-Three format was utilized in the Conference Semifinals and Conference Finals (no games ended in ties due to the shootout). However, a change to the format allowed the higher seeded teams to host Game One and Game Three, unlike in 1996 when the higher seed played Games Two and Three (if necessary) at home. 2000 - 2002 Who Qualified: With the introduction of a new three-division alignment in 2000, a single playoff table was established to determine postseason berths and seeds.

Although a two-conference alignment was re-introduced in 2002 following the contraction of Miami and Tampa Bay, the system based on the single playoff table remained. The single playoff table ensured that only the League’s eight best teams during the regular season qualified for postseason play, eliminating situations like what occurred in 1999, when the San Jose Clash failed to qualify for the playoffs despite finishing with more points (37) than the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds in the Eastern Conference.

The three division winners (2000-01) or two conference champions (2002) were given automatic top seeds entering the postseason. The rest of the field was seeded according to final regular season point totals regardless of conference affiliation. Format: During the first round, the seeding placed seed No. 1 vs. No. 8, No. 2 vs. No. 7, No. 3 vs. No. 6 and No. 4 vs. No. 5 in the MLS Cup Playoff Quarterfinals. In the semifinal round, the winner of the 1 vs. 8 series advanced to face the winner of the 4 vs. 5 series, while the victors of the 3 vs. 6 and 2 vs. 7 series played for the right to compete in MLS Cup.

The team that advanced was based on a “first-to-five-points” format with a win earning three points and a tie one point (ties were first introduced in MLS in the 2000 regular season in conjunction with the elimination of the shootout). The first team to compile five points or more in three games advanced to the following round. If the series was tied in points after a Game Three, a 20-minute golden-goal Series Tiebreaker was played, followed by penalty kicks if necessary. As was the case from 1997-1999, the higher seed hosted Game One and Game Three in each series. 2003-2006 Who Qualified: As was the case between 1996 and 1999, the top four teams in each conference advance to the Conference Semifinals. Format: Conference Semifinal series are conducted under a home-and-home, aggregate-goal format. The aggregate goal format follows the lead of various international competitions, including Europe’s UEFA Champions League and South America’s Copa Libertadores club tournament. In the case that teams are tied on aggregate goals following the conclusion of Game 2 of the Conference Semifinal series, a 30-minute extra time period is played followed by penalty kicks if necessary. The two teams left standing in each conference after the Conference Semifinals will meet in the single-game Conference Championship to be hosted by the higher seed. The winners of each Conference Championship advances to MLS Cup. 2007-10 Who Qualified: In 2007, 2009 and 2010, the top two teams in each conference qualified and were seeded 1 & 2 in their respective four-team playoff conference brackets. The four MLS teams with the next most points, regardless of conference, received “wild card” berths. The four wildcard teams were seeded according to conference first. If more than four teams qualified from one conference, those finishing lower than fourth in their conference shifted over to the other conference bracket. A team switching conference brackets was seeded below all other teams in its new conference playoff bracket. For 2008, the top three teams in each conference qualified, with the next four teams with the most points, regardless of conference, receiving “wildcard” berths. Format: Same as from 2003-2006. 2011 Who Qualified: Beginning in 2011, 10 teams qualified for the playoffs. The top three finishers in each conference, based on regular season points, were given automatic berths. The next best four clubs based on regular season points, irrespective of conference, received wild cards. Format: The four wild cards played single elimination games against each other, with higher seeds hosting (1 vs. 4; 2 vs. 3). These play-in games are part of the MLS Cup Playoffs. After the two play-in games, the lowest remaining seed faced the Supporters’ Shield winner in the Conference Semifinals; the other faced the No. 1 seed in the opposite conference from the Supporters’ Shield winner. The No. 2 and No. 3 placed teams in each conference met in the semifinals, with the higher seed holding homefield advantage for the second leg. The winners of the Conference Semifinal Series met in a one-game Conference Championship, hosted by the highest seeds, with the winners advancing to MLS Cup. 2012-14 Who Qualified: Ten teams qualified for the playoffs. The top five in points from each conference at the end of the regular season, qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs. Format: The fourth and fifth place teams in each conference played a single knockout game, the winner of which advanced to the Conference Semifinals and faced the first place team in the conference. The four Conference Semifinals were two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. The two Conference Championships were two-game aggregate series, with the lower seed hosting the first leg and the higher seed hosting the second leg. MLS Cup was a single championship match hosted by the higher seed.
